Going to London for more blood tests today!

Just had two people in Weatherspoons move away from us because they didn't like being near the dog. She's literally lying on the floor doing nothing

I’m submitting my PhD thesis today - it’s actually happening

That’s it. My PhD thesis is submitted. I genuinely can’t believe I did it. After all my setbacks, I still managed it. Thank you to the wonderful PhD Forum and to Donna Peach PhD Forum

Third appointment at Kings fertility clinic complete. I had more scans, tests and blood taken and we got taught how to administer the medication via injections. All getting very real now!

Given the go ahead to continue fertility treatment at kings college!!

So I had my operation yesterday at Kings fertility clinic. Still knackered and sore but I fucking did it. No more injections or scans for the foreseeable. Time to get onto the transgender clinic about treatment then!

Another day, another access refusal. This time from Ipswich Primark where the security guard told me that my Guide Dog wasn’t allowed in store and then proceeded to follow us around the shop which made my anxiety 200x worse. We raised it to a manager but it isn’t ok! Guide Dogs

Our latest group of fab interns have joined us today, determined to make the most out of their time on the #GetSetProgress internship programme Thomas Pocklington Trust Thank you to RNIB for their ongoing support

Passed my PhD viva today with revisions. Massive shoutout to my partner, my brilliant supervisor who has stuck with me and my fabulous cohort on PhD Forum #PhD #phdlife #phdchat

Love it when sighted people play blind chicken with me. Basically walking straight at us and seeing if I move out of the way which I don’t and then they have to move instead. Why waste your time when a blind person is coming towards you with a guide dog?

Had an access refusal today with my Guide Dog, again from another Subway® chain in Felixstowe where we were told repeatedly to get out even after we said Yash was a GD. This is now the 3rd access refusal I’ve had from the chain. And it happened on my day off work! Guide Dogs

Today is the day, I finally have my first testosterone injection after waiting 5 years. Man, I can’t believe it’s finally happening 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

The pre-recorded My Macular and Me session talks are about to be repeated in case you weren’t able to join us this morning. macularsociety.org/support/events…

So my little side project for #bnts24 is out in the world. I am continuing to "scratch the academic itch" but in the meantime you can read a bit on the CSBV blog. Shout out to @JamiePDavies and Erin for giving me space to experiment with ideas in Glasgow.

Anyone at Manchester Metropolitan Uni who received an email about an outstanding fee PLEASE IGORE BECAUSE ITS A SCAM. I just rang the finance department for confirmation Manchester Met Doctoral College

Love being sweared at in Starbucks because I got my order before a man and the nice barista brought it to a table for me. Like did you not see the Guide Dog? Why can’t people just be nice?

5 whole weeks of loving you, Tilly ❤️🥰
