Hi, I'm Rai. I am currently waiting for an assessment via Right to Choose with Psychiatry UK - referral was confirmed by my GP on 3rd February. I'm 42 and transgender ftm. I'm studying a BA in Education Studies with TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and planning a MA by Thesis related to translanguaging afterwards.
I am going through a lot of change and 'new' at the moment and really struggling so I thought I should look for some peer support.
I enjoy learning about languages and I am currently studying Mandarin, Klingon, Swahili and Hungarian - I like learning how languages work rather than how to speak them. I am also a bit of a Dr Who fan.
I would love to have some people to talk to who share my interests.
Not sure what else to say.
Hi Rai! I'm also a bit of a Dr Who fan, and a bit of a Star Trek fan. Not enough to learn Klingon, which is awesome btw, but enough to write a Discovery fanfic. ;)
Glad to have you with us!
Thank you. Who's your favourite Dr?
I still haven't watched Discovery but I will.
It has to be Tennant, I'm afraid as predictable as that is! I have vague memories of Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy from my youth. Who's yours?
I mostly enjoy Discovery for the queer/diversity representation, and also for Saru. There's a bit too much crying in the earlier series for my personal taste, but I recommend it for some pretty cool characters, some of which might even be a bit autistic.
For me it's Matt Smith. I loved Tom Baker too.
Where can I watch Discovery? I'm going to look at it when I've finished Elementary.
