autism is like. something happens and someone is like "you guys know what to do!" and you're thinking no? but everyone else is like yeah of course we know what to do :) and you're like oh so I'm just stupid then? :/ and then nobody explains.
Maned Wolf (experimental) :: scene (2024)
Experimenting with backgrounds.
I drew a maned wolf in a sort of part-coloured comic style. This piece is a draw-over a reference image by @animalphotorefs (free animal photo references for artists to use - NO AI THOUGH GTFO).
My life
:: Qin Terra is now available in webcomic/scrolling format and page view format to suit you however you like to read! ::
Link to the comic on Tapas in the pinned post ^^
‘Qin Terra’ follows the story of QIn. Their life is thrown into an upside-down mess starting from when their beloved pet chamine, Ruska, goes missing. Although concerning, Ruska’s disappearance seems fairly mundane to everyone except Qin whose gut tells them otherwise. It isn’t long before their whole life is changed for the worse, and with support from close ones (as well as some not-so-close ‘allies’-?) a journey ensues to discover just what the heck is going on??
It always annoys me when people say they don't want to use 'they' pronouns as a singular pronoun. "It's too confusing, we won't know if someone is talking about one person or multiple people!" It's ridiculous. We usually work it out from context, and if not, it's okay to ask. What's more, it's not even the most commonly used ambiguous pronoun in the English language. I'm starting to think people make a fuss about it for another reason O_ó
Cost of Transition
I've just watched a video by @jammi-dodger about the cost of his transition. It's fantastic information but as he says in the video, costs can vary HUGELY. And so I thought I'd give some information about my costs! (Jamie, you are welcome to use this information if you ever want to :) )
So, quick overview. I initially referred myself through my NHS GP to the NHS gender clinic in Exeter (The Laurels). After a 3 year wait I gave in and decided to go private through GenderCare (Dr Lenihan). Typically, the day I sent off the email to Dr Lenihan I got a letter inviting me to an appointment at The Laurels. Here is a quick break down of the costs of my transition thus far. I will update as I go along.
2016 - £0.00 - Deedpoll - I changed my name via deedpoll for free. I used Free Deed Poll UK (freedeedpoll (dot) org) which gives you a fancy deedpoll to print off for yourself.
2017 - £20.00(+£35.00) - Binder - My friend bought me a binder from gc2b as a gift. At the time gc2b did not have a European store and so my binder was shipped from the US. My friend spent around £35.00 on the binder and because of international shipping fees, I had to pay £20.00 to receive it from the post office.
2017 - £30.00 - Strap on harness - I'm including this one as I feel it is important to my transition. I got Love Honey's "Beginner's Unisex Strap On Harness". I also bought other penises to use with it but I wont add those expenses in.
2019 July - £25.00 - Petrol to travel to Laurels clinic in Exeter.
2019 July - £5.00 - Parking in Exeter.
2019 August - £300.00 - Private consultation fee with Dr Lenihan.
2019 August - £20.00 - Coach and tube travel expenses to London.
2019 September - £0.00 - Blood work taken at my local GP surgery prior to consultation with London Transgender Clinic.
2019 December - £300.00 - Initial consultation with Mary Burke at LTC (I fucking love Mary). She prescribed me Testogel on that very day.
2019 December - £42.00 - Private prescription of Testogel from local pharmacy.
2019 December - £0.00 - Meeting with NHS GP to discuss shared care and show evidence of my 'diagnosis' from Dr Lenihan and LTC.
2019 December - £9.00 - 2 month's supply of T on an NHS prescription.
2020 February - £9.00 - Another 2 month's supply of T.
2020 February - £54.00 - Packer - I bought the Fun Boy by Buck Angel from Ann Summers. I had a massive discount as it's usually around £70. I really liked the look of this one so I decided it would be worth the money and the discount made it so worth it.
2020 February - £2.50 - Craft supplies to extend the jock strap that comes with the Fun Boy as it is not made for bigger butts and the first one I had broke immediately.
Total So Far (rounded) = £817.00
Further costs expected...
6 month consultation at LTC £150-£300 plus travel fees
Continued prescriptions of Testogel (£54 per year)
Top surgery £5,000-£8,000 (or free if I am seen by the Laurels before I can afford it)
Loss of earnings from time off for surgery and additional living and childcare expenses during recovery - £2,000.
All questions welcome!
"Why don't you just Google it?"
i dunno man maybe I just think that asking questions and sharing knowledge is an underrated and under-appreciated form of socialisation and I'd like to get back in touch with that idk
