K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer.
From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.
She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.
She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

One part of being trans that I don't like is how much time you have to spend on your transition, and how it takes away time for other stuff. I went to a laser appointment today, and then I had to pick up my Finasteride, and then I had to sign a document for starting HRT appointments, and put the next appointment in my agenda and then I had to research if it will be covered by insurance and what I exactly have to do to get the costs insured, and put the deadline for payment in my agenda.
This was today. I have a school deadline in a couple of days and I couldn't work on it yet today.
Yessss this so much. There is so much opportunity cost due to being trans. Like having to wasting time on various transition related things and also working and saving money for surgeries just to reach the baseline of other people, like I could spend this money on so many other things, but I just can’t. It sucks so much😵💫😭
