Hegel claimed that the ‘world spirit’ is developing towards an ever-expanding knowledge of itself. It’s the same with rivers - they become broader and broader as they get nearer to the sea. According to Hegel, history is the story of the ‘world spirit’ gradually coming to consciousness of itself. Although the world has always existed, human culture and human development have made the world spirit increasingly conscious of its intrinsic value.

Anybody who studies history will see that humanity has advanced towards ever-increasing ‘self-knowledge’ and ‘self-development’. According to Hegel, the study of humanity shows that humanity is moving toward greater rationality and freedom. In spite of all its capers, historical development is progressive. We say that history is purposeful.

Over 7 months on Testosterone and I am happy!

I've had me referral sent off and had a confirmation by Dr Kneeshaw's admin it has been received.

- I've noticed I'm getting chest hairs for definite as they're coming in darker now.

- My appetite hasn't really changed much since my dose is every 3 weeks rather than 4.

- I haven't noticed much change with my hops but I have in my upper body and muscle so I've included a photo to show how it is now compared to Pre-T.

- I'm really enjoying getting hairs on the back of my hands :D

- My voice hasn't changed much the past couple weeks at least.

- I do have my injection this Friday though!

- My parents aren't slipping up as much on pronouns now, which is great but me and my Mum's relationship still isn't good so I'm struggling living at home 90% of the time..

- I've been saving to move out and I know it will be a slow process but the savings are coming along so at least I'm inching closer each month to saving to move out.

- My chin fluff is coming through more than I have noticed before!

- I'm just so happy now! I bought some pyjamas ready for surgery as they were on sale and button down ones so why not!

- I am getting quite nervous for it now especially I'd I'll still be living at home I'm not sure if it will be as bad to deal with, easier or worse being at home in an environment that I don't deal well with generally.

- I'm also contemplating a lot to tell people at work about me being Transgender but I'm also very tied up in the fact I really like how they treat me and there's no funny looks or questions or anything that I had at uni where everyone knew!

That's all the updates for now! Hope you all have a great week and a good start to the new year!
