Diary

Today it was exactly 18 months ago I started my Real Life Test. So now I am officially eligible to undergo the sex change operation. When I started this "RLT", I was still thinking this meant I could have my operation done on June 3rd, 2006, but I know better now! I will now be added to the waiting list. Or, to be more exact, I will go on the waiting list to have a consultation with the surgeon and after that I will go on the waiting list for the operation.

Time to party? No, not really. It does not feel like much has changed really. Yet I had been hoping I would be able to discuss this with some people on the T&T-evening tonight. But there was no time for talking at all. I was on duty at the bar again and it was just hard labor all evening, lasting longer than ever before this time, because except for Yvon Julia and I were the last volunteers to leave the community center. We didn't want to leave Yvon in there all by herself, so we stayed until the very end (which was about 4 AM).

I was completely exhausted. When I came home, I shouted: "This has been the very last time I have worked at that bar!"

Well, now that I write this down, four weeks have passed and the blisters on my feet and my soul have healed already. I will continue this voluntary work for a while, after all we do it for the people who need this and/or the people who just enjoy themselves. Somebody has got to do the work...
