ok so it's hit me that like half of the emotions i've been having about this was that everyone around me has said they were proud of me *except* for my mother (who was actually initially mad I was doing it at all without any compensation) and now that I've said that out loud i feel kinda stupid
tangled up in bluesky
i badgered most of my girlfriends/close friends into signing up a couple weeks ago; NMDP seemed pleased with the influx of transgender marrow
it's also, uh, my first time having surgery of any type, so i'm nervous about that
also have a ton of emotions in general re: donating, but that's not new
