#and she'll probably be able to get ba in the next few years

[trans-stew]

starting to realize I'm going to have to work on climbing the government worker ladder if I ever want to be able to afford top surgery or minor ffs things.

I wonder how hard it is to get in on federal work with no specialty work experience.... I mean 2 or 3 years of struggle as I'm at rn, pay off my car, then try for a fed job.

my goal is the better pay and mandated pay raises and job security. plus maybe I'd be able to bully their insurance into covering trans stuff? my current job is like... they don't know I'm trans. the insurance doesn't know I'm trans. and it's literally illegal for my insurance to cover trans stuff because Florida is a trans hell zone legally, but federal insurance should maybe be able to cover it?

only thing I can think of otherwise is going public sector and trying to get into a tech support role somewhere but their industry is kinda imploding right now and I've got no experience so 🤷‍♀️

#just thinking #i currently make 15.75 but live in a area with one of the worst housing markets in the country #so rent plus horribly expensive florida insurance rates eats like 80% of my income #so saving up 10k for some kind of basic procedure is literally impossible at my current pay rate #idk just thinking about things #my kouhai is currently under for ffs because her supportive parents insurance covers it #and she'll probably be able to get ba in the next few years #and just idk feeling jealous #im not doing bad for a poor trans girl that got kicked out by her parents #im stable just i need to make more money but col and inflation is insane so it feels like an impossible climb sometimes #idk rambling journal entry
