I got a new state ID with my correct name and gender. I went to the DMV my therapist told me to go to since she thought I'd have an easier time. Since I haven't been to any other DMV's I can't compare it I guess. She sent me to Trumpland. There was a highschool kid and his parents. The kid was all jittery and couldn't sit still and kept glancing over at me. I ignored him. They called me up before him and I said I wanted to change my name and gender on my ID. The 2 people working the desk gave me a long blank stare. My mom went ahead and gave them the paperwork. I had my back turned towards the family. Then they were called up next. The kid was taking his drivers exam. I got my picture taken. Then the lady I was working with clicked away some more at her computer without saying anything to us. Finally she asked me if I wanted to register to vote. I said yes. The lady at the other desk and the family all looked up. The kid then mentioned one of his teachers had a deep voice and it was scary and the kid made some excorcist noise. I don't know if that was supposed to be a slight at me or not? Anyways I'm not sure if they all looked up because they knew I was going to vote blue or if they thought I was around their kids age and to young to vote. Anyways the whole process took about half an hour and I got out of there fast. My mom didn't know if the family was being transphobic or just wondering if I was their kids age or something like that. I could tell the people at the desk were transphobic the way they stared at me longer then they should have. I am not totally sure why my therapist told me to go to this one. I mean I wasn't like harrased by anyone but it sure wasn't a friendly or welcoming enviroment like she made it sound like. Anyways thats over and then there was more headache on the phone with SS and medicare still not communicating and I need a ton of OTC pain and nausea meds and a new kind of melatonin right now from Walgreens because I didn't sleep well last night and thought a middle of the night workout and then a protein shake afterwards was a good idea. So I just feel like crap right now.
