Dishsoap Thanks for sharing your method. This is very scary for me as I have ASD level 2, but as an adult, symptoms are close to ASD Level 1, and I am a high functioning autistic, able to do complex engineering tasks, etc. However, all the stimuli happen in a social situation and going to the office. I'll revert to ASD Level 2 symptoms, and I won't be able to communicate due to anxiety disorder. I might faint or have serious panic attacks. This should've been done when my parents were alive, but dad was against it. Saying he won't accompany me for gender change. He said he'd accept I'm feminine because I'm biologically intersex, but he'll have no part in this "transgender business," as he would put it, saying that's all in mind and not "real," etc. So, I postponed it and didn't push much, thinking I had all the time in the world, but covid took out both parents and sister. So, I am with no means to do such complex bureaucratic procedures as going to offices. All the local friends I tried to make were trans chasers. I hope the transgender card method will cut down the "gates" so a person with a disability can get through this. It;'s too dangerous for a transwoman, especially an intersex one even if pre-hrt, to find local friends. I'm no longer trusting people. Like this year itself, two guys I chatted with over several months were just trans chasers. A girl I ended up trusting turned out to be a pimp trying to groom me. So, I'm sort of isolated. I'm even afraid to reach out to anyone here to become friends. I wish Govt. made things easier for people of disabilities.
As it is, stuff like banking is hard. When I call, they ask me to give the phone to my husband or brother. I have to be on call for like an hour proving I am the account holder and explain I sound female because I'm intersex and in fact, I'm also transgender. They just cut the call. I have speaking problems too, so day-to-day life so stressful. I am somewhere in between. I can't present male or fully female because my documents show male. I'm sure some trans might think I'm lucky to pass as female before hrt, but it's not. It made life more complicated. My disabilities add to that even further.
