Figuring out that I'm intersex explained a lot for me and gave me a way to make sense of traumatic things from my pubescent years. Meeting people with similar experiences, even though they are traumatic experiences, was something very joyful for realizing I was not alone nor a weird freak.
Learning the term ipsogender was also a joyful thing for me since gave me a way to articulate that even though I agree with my assigned gender I have a lot of baggage about it and honestly relate more to trans people than to cis people.
(I'm also bi but I figured that out at an early age, my parents were reasonably supportive, and it wasn't the same kind of galaxybrain process for me as figuring out sex/gender.)
I regret living in the Plateau - I have lung problems and there are a lot of people in my neighbourhood who smoke and/or wear perfume/cologne :( I'm told other neighbourhoods aren't so bad and that the Plateau is bad for this since there are a lot of people from France but have yet to live anywhere else in the city.
For me the other pain points are Loi 96, how many offices/clinics/etc close at 4pm (or even 3pm now), and the heat of the summers here.
I actually find the winters an improvement over Toronto! There are so many cross-country skiing routes within the city parks and the bike paths are actually plowed in the winter, so going outdoors in the winter is far more enticing for me. I also have more tolerance for cold than for heat. (I bought a used pair of cross-country skis off kijiji and it was the best 60$ I spent on combating seasonal affective disorder.)
Primary care medicine is an absolute disgrace but I will say the specialist care I've been getting has been hands down the best I've had in my life. Getting referrals from random walk-in clinics was annoying but now that I have a team of quality specialists I'm actually getting better care than I did in Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary.
