[META] Just a little check-in post. How's everyone's week going? :)
I was thinking of making a community engagement post last week in the run up to the Easter weekend and transgender day of visibility, but it got lost under a recent promotion at work and a few busy days.
So yeah how was your Easter weekend / TDoV? 😊 Most of my family is on vacation so I just had a quiet weekend at home with my partner. All the drama that went down with TDoV landing on Easter Sunday was.. unsettling to say the least. I hope everyone was able to weather that storm of hate and propaganda safely.

Congrats on your promotion! Glad you had a quiet weekend at home, those are the best IMO.
On my end I've been painfully, patiently waiting for the results of a karyotype test I had blood drawn for over a month ago. Found out today there was a communication break-down and the test was never ordered. So I got the blood drawn for the test today!
I also came out to my grandfather and he was supportive, so that's nice.
I'm glad that your grandfather is supportive of you! 😊 I hope your test results come back well. A month is a long time to wait, only to find out they'd forgotten to process it. 😕 hopefully you won't have to get blood drawn again, I always pass out when I get blood work done.
aww, thank you - I don't expect I have a chromosomal intersex condition, but I think I would regret not getting tested to find out. I think any outcome is fine with me at this point, I just want to know my chromosomes.
I had to get blood drawn anyway to test estradiol levels and liver enzymes, etc. and I had a really good phlebotomist. I've nearly passed out when I've had less good phlebotomists, though, so I feel you - I really wish I could get over my needle phobia.
