I need advice? Or maybe just to rant? I have been put on this work programme by WINZ (look for job or else pretty much). My case worker made me buy "girl" shoes/girl sports bras despite my expressing my discomfort. It's just another cruel reminder that I was not born how I feel. I don't know what to do in this situation if I am honest. And she wanted me to get rid of my bag too (I struggle to deal with change and that bag is a part of me now). Also I expressed I can't work Saturdays because my nephew "oh you'll just have to work not have your nephew." SORRY I am afraid I cannot do that. My nephew is way more important to me, than any job, any work. It is getting to the point where I am so stressed out and anxious and make myself mentally ill. Not to mention it's getting to the point where I can barely walk due to my knees/hips. But WINZ don't care. And even if mum and I tried to talk to them, you can't get through because there are 1 hour+ waiting times and then they just hang up on you.
