Today is International Pronouns Day... Some may s Today is International Pronouns Day... Some may see this as a fairly trivial issue. Maybe because you've lived your life 100% happy with your gender & identity. For many people, myself included, this is a huge issue. I had no idea how big an issue this would be when I embarked upon this gender transition nearly four years ago. No clue how much it would affect me, how deeply painful each wrong pronoun would feel. I can't properly explain just how it feels to be misgendered or to feel unaccepted. You'd have to spend a bit of time inside my head to get an insight into that 😳 I'll just say it hurts a lot and I notice every single time it happens. I might not say anything, but I'm wincing inside. Fours years down the road and it never gets any easier. I know it's hard, I know mistakes happen, I know you might not mean what you've said... but please remember just how deeply these mistakes can hurt some people πŸ’— She - Her - Hers - Simple πŸ™‚ (293/365) #photoadaychallenge #transgender #transition #gender #female #she #Her #Hers #pronouns #internationalpronounsday

Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of Remember when after a year, I got totally bored of waiting for an NHS Gender Clinic appointment? When I went to London for a privately paid for gender appointment. Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Remember when after three and half years, I got my very first NHS Gender Clinic appointment? Where I was asked about my entire life story, my mental wellbeing, my family, my issues with gender, my hopes for the future etc. Today I had NHS Gender Clinic appointment no2...

So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints πŸ’— This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before.
