Sorry, this is pretty much just me venting, but it is related to me being trans.
Anyways, I got my first pair of women’s glasses yesterday. I was very excited and euphoric, but I somehow managed to scratch them today while I was fiddling with the nose pads. Fortunately the eyeglass place has a warranty for lens scratches, but I unfortunately had to use it less than 24 hours after getting my glasses. They said they have never seen an adult scratch their glasses that fast…
I also have a hearing soon to get my legal sex changed however I also have jury duty. I had called the court a while back to see if I could reschedule and they basically said that it’s my problem, not theirs, and now that it is getting close to time, I am freaking out because idk what I’m going to do if they call me in when I have my hearing.
On top of that, I also have midterms this week so I’m stressed out from that as well. I just drank the last of my alcohol, but unfortunately maladaptive coping mechanisms aren’t actually that effective (Who would have thought).
Based on my experience, You should be okay with the hearing and jury duty. I had to miss a day of jury duty for a doctor’s appointment, and all they needed was a note, so I’d think they’ll accept proof that you had a hearing that day
If you’re in the US and required to do jury duty you can just tell them you know about jury nullification (look it up if you don’t) and they will deny you from doing it. Other places we aren’t sure if they will care or not.
That isn’t a guarantee. Some lawyers want people who say they know about jury nullification because it means they are informed.
