I currently work on a small sail boat as a deckhand but unfortunately with the sailing vessel it's a seasonal job. I don't know why but I never told my regular captain this but I've told his relief captain that I'm trans preferred name and pronouns she's accepting and when I work with her I wear my favorite skirt. But she likely won't be able to house me.

Yes I should tell my captain but I feel like it's pointless now since the season is nearly over even though hes accepting (he has a weirdly intimidating aura about him even though hes not intimidating). But I really should tell him and ask if I can be a live aboard in the off season since he'll be at his own home 2 hours away from the Port we sail around and will eventually head to key west for the second half of winter.

Why because obviously because my parents are being transphobic and fear mongering me. Context to the fear mongering is well I don't want to be in the military but they're pushing me into it any way. They said "the hrt your on is dangerous and can kill you" in reference to the hrt I was on from folx I had to stop because I could afford to keep getting it from them and because of my parents. And just yesterday because I'm being pushed to being in the navy my mom said that they'll find it in my system and kick me out. Not that I'd have a problem with that if that was true. But sadly I haven't been on hrt for the past 6 months ☹️.

My sister and her boyfriend can't because of lack of income and space. So lgbtq housing it is then or finding another sailing vessel that will hire me year round. Also I wish I had told them when I was a kid since that's when they believe that is when people come our as trans. But it's to late for that (jealous of everyone that did) but it's better late than never.

Edit: how does the name Luna Méirí sound to you all?
