#like my degree needs to be signed by the usual 6838282 people now

[areyoudoingthis]

I'm almost done with my transition paperwork. it's been nearly a year since i started. we live in an evil bureaucratic hellscape

#I've had to do some stuff thrice because apparently people either can't program or use computers properly #the actual birth certificate and id took a couple of months #everything else took forever #the bank fucked up my name on my debit card twice #they made up a whole new middle name and put it on everything #i had to complain like 5 times about that one cause it kept showing up anywhere #my uni made me wait three months to figure out how to comply with the nonbinary ids on their degrees and then harassed me for two weeks #about a picture #my name's still showing up wrong in parts of the system they use at work #because some people can't read i guess #i gotta send an email about that actually #i even had to update my name at the supermarket which i hadn't even added to the list when i started #i was just grocery shopping one day and realized the cashier was calling me by the wrong name #i think all that's left now are the utilities #and waiting for everything else to be done #like my degree needs to be signed by the usual 6838282 people now #but i can see the finish line #it was all worth it btw i love seeing my name on everything #i even had to turn in my old degree at my uni it felt like a sendoff #I'll see if i can save up and invite my friends over to celebrate #alex txt
