Happy MHM- Being yourself

article image placeholderUploaded by @Kamryn_1017
Happy mental Health Monday, everyone. I just wanted to talk about, like, just being yourself. So I'm trans and I've shared before, but I've had to go through a lot of, like, steps to to get to where I'm at, like, just getting on testosterone and just dealing with family acceptance and stuff like that. But recently I've been trying to get my name legally changed

Dude. Like, one just like, thank you so much for sharing that. Secondly, like, I know how hard it is to get your head like or it's just like it's not even that it's so much like as difficult as just it's so much in paperwork, you know, and like stuff to do. Like it's it's tough to do all this stuff to get your name changed and it's a real bummer when it kind of goes slower than you want

Thank you. Yeah, I just take it just like it annoying to, like, wait all the time and, like, do paperwork but just forget to actually, like, finally do it. And like, I have like it felt like a big relief off my chest, but I don't have to explain to people that Cameron is not, like, my actual name, but now I deal with any of that

But having a credit card has made it so much easier for me to just financial transactions. It's made it really easy. Anyway, enough about me. Really happy for you. Congratulations again, Cameron

@aBirdieOnaWire more info on mastercard ?

I understand the genesis, the origin story of that entire decision that was made obviously by a company that really is moving with their hearts and their understanding of something that's kind of profoundly nuanced, and yet here you are talking about it and it's impact on you and I want to know about it more

Having the card has been well, it just makes buying things when I'm out just well, before I would use cash, and now having it I don't know, it's like it offers some validity to my being grown up, I guess. Just offers financial downness behind the person who's purchasing with the card, and it earns purchasing points that I can use to apply to the balance. If you Google Mastercard true name, you'll see other links about it, I guess
