A good friend offered to help me present more male (though after much deliberation I declined the offer to tone up my muscles and such, since this isn't about changing who I am, just making me feel comfortable, and I'm not sure that's the right method). Another stopped me protesting and told me they're getting me a binder, which will mean I'll have two, as I'd hoped, though I'll be unable to wear them at home. But still, good to know they're there.
And above all that, it seems I may have an appointment and I might be in luck. Over The Rainbow got back to me, saying they were really sorry about not replying, but they're being refurbished, and one of the team is going to be in my closest town most Mondays, and I'm going to be booked into an appointment next Monday.
It sounds promising, it really does. I might get somewhere with this.
I'm also going to have a haircut before I go to the appointment, partly funded by the friend buying me a binder
I won't lie, it's partly to help me feel better and less dysphoric, but also to try to pass better at the clinic afterwards. They actually addressed me as Lorcan, and that is just... amazing.
And I'm trying to work up courage to ask the school to change my name, but we'll see about that one.
