Transphแปbes in my replies: "No one will ever see you as a woman!"
The country boy who saw me and dashed halfway across the gas station parking lot to hold the door: "Let me get that for you miss!"
This is a friendly reminder that the bigots are lying.
Today is officially my 3 year anniversary of being on HRT!๐
It has been an incredible, joyous, and life-affirming journey so far. I can't wait to see where the years ahead will take me.๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐
Exactly 3 years ago today, I placed a nervous call to my sister to come out to her as trans, the first person to whom I'd done so.๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
The love and support with which she responded helped reinforce my confidence to embark on this amazing journey.๐
Thanks sis. I love you.๐ซ
3 months HRT...*sigh* "Is this even working?"๐ฎโ๐จ
34 months HRT, plus laser and electrolysis..."Oh wow, this is just how I get to look now?!"๐ฅฐ
Give it time, loves.๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Okay. Slightly embarrassing confession...
Today was the first time I had ever worn a dress in public. Maybe my reluctance was from the remaining vestiges of the fear and shame that kept me from transitioning for so many years?๐ค
I was so certain that I'd look ridiculous...๐
I have fresh estrogen in my thigh, ice cream in the freezer, and an abundance of love in my life. I'm in a pretty good place right now.๐๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ฅฐ
Well, it's about time to head over to the family reunion, where the overwhelming majority of the people there will have not seen me since I came out.๐ ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Please wish me luck, loves.๐
Just a note:
If you're trans and are following me, but I haven't followed you back...shoot me a message here so I can amend that.๐
I want to follow as many trans folks here as possible.๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
@PaigeChristineR
And it's a regular occurrence here! It threw me off initially, but I get called "miss" and "ma'am" all the time, people go out of their way to hold doors, and I can't remember the last time I was misgendered in public.
Most people just aren't bothered by trans folks.๐
But honestly? I think I kind of nailed my look today.๐คทโโ๏ธ
The barista who made my latte just raved the whole time about how pretty I looked and how much she loved my dress.๐ฅฐ
So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go ride the hell out of this high for the foreseeable future.โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
It has taken me a while to muster the courage to post this. I am deeply uncomfortable with how I used to look, and I struggle to feel good about how I look now.
Still, it is staggering to me that these are the same person. This is 2017 compared to now. Please be kind.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
I rarely post pictures of myself with my hair up because they make me horribly dysphoric. But I'm very wine-drunk, so here. Please be kind...๐ท๐คทโโ๏ธ
Today was the first time I picked up my HRT prescriptions under my real name!๐
It was nice not having to mumble my deadname to a stranger to get my girl pills.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Can be candid here?
All of this discourse on the relative effectiveness of estrogen on those who transition later...viewed through the lens of my dysphoria and my minimal results...is making the act of doing my injection seem entirely pointless.
I just feel like a failure.๐
I've been feeling a bit lonely and really down on myself today...๐ฎโ๐จ
And maybe dressing up nice, going out for coffee, and shopping for cute, handmade jewelry won't fix this...but I certainly have to try it, right?!โ๏ธ๐
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
Happy Saturday from this tired, but pretty upbeat girl. I hope that whatever your plans for the weekend are, they go brilliantly well. Embrace the moments of joy, loves.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Goodnight, lovely people.๐๐๐
I'm slightly drunk and a little overwhelmed by the recent attention. May you all sleep soundly and have the sweetest of dreams.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
This girl is vacation posting from a cool, breezy porch in Kentucky. I hope your week starts off in the best possible way and gives you a huge boost of positive energy.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
It's been a difficult weekend since my partner flew home. I'm hoping my injection can help me level out and feel a bit better about things.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
I'm really struggling with an erosion of hope, both personally and globally. If there's anything positive you can share to give me a boost, I would be deeply appreciative.โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐ซ
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Good morning, all!๐ค๐
My Sunday will be a Waffle House breakfast and then driving on to Lexington for the week. I hope your day gives you exactly what you need as we wrap up Pride Month, loves.๐๐๐ง
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
After much consideration, I've determined that being able to wear my hair up and not completely hate it is a huge game-changer.๐
Take care out there, loves.๐
The weekend is drawing to a close, my injection is done, and I'm using that as a shameless excuse to post thigh.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, loves.๐
I know I'm not that beautiful, and the world is far from perfect. But I've also realized that I've become the kind of person of whom pre-transition me would have been wildly jealous.
And I kind of love that for me.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
@Tranzilla77
I lost weight by doing a ton of cardio and adjusting my diet to cut out a lot of the empty calories. My diet had been pretty atrocious previously.๐
A note to the convenience store employee in West Virginia who started LOUDLY reading the bible in my direction when he saw me in the store...
I regret to inform you that your efforts were in vain...I'm still happily trans, very queer, and firmly atheist.๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
So, I'm about to go 8 days without shaving so my electrologist will have enough to work on at my next appointment.
My account is about to read like a found-footage horror film about a trans woman's descent into dysphoric madness...๐ฌ
My injection is done, and it neatly marks the end of one of my most remarkable 10-day stretches in recent memory.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ฅฐ
I hope your weekend has been wonderful, loves.๐
Christmas day 2014 to Christmas eve 2023. That first picture feels like another person in another life.๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐
Best decision I've ever made.๐ฅฐ
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
I'm a bit sleepy and sluggish, but it's nothing that coffee won't fix. I hope your Sunday gives you exactly what you need, even if you don't know what that is quite yet.๐ซ๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Transphแปbes legitimately think I'm going to argue with them here about my lived experience.๐
No thanks! I'd rather just block them, be positive, and enjoy my Friday. Love you all.๐
Nothing gives me more joy than watching trans people survive and flourish in a world so bent on burying us.๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
We are truly fucking amazing.โค๏ธโ๐ฅ
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
Monday morning definitely calls for coffee in a bird mug. I hope your week ahead is filled with more successes and progress than it is with difficulties and frustration, loves.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
As the week begins I want to simply thank you for being here and making the effort. You all matter immensely, and your presence means more than you can possibly know.๐ซ๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.

It has been just over two weeks since my love
@RJC_2018
flew back home, and I miss her terribly. She has realigned the stars in my sky into the most wondrous and beautiful constellations I have ever seen.๐๐ฅฐ
Our next time together cannot come soon enough...๐
It's Sunday evening, my partner is here with me, and I just injected estrogen into my thigh. Things are really good right now.๐ฅฐ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Enjoy the last hours of the weekend, loves.๐
Good morning, all.๐ค๐
This girl needs to get out of bed and get ready to go run errands. I hope your Saturday is amazing, loves!๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
I met some lovely people, got some new jewelry, and now my estrogen is topped off for another week.๐ฆ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Time to chat with my gf and let the remainder of the weekend wash away...it was a good one, loves.๐ฅฐ
Another great day out! This time we had brunch with a lovely couple my partner knows. We're really making the most of the time we have together.๐๐ซ
My weekly injection is complete!๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Time to post a shameless thigh picture, eat a little ice cream, and chat with my girlfriend until it's time to sleep. I'm making sure to embrace these moments of joy.๐
Good morning, all.๐จ๐
It's a gray, rainy Tuesday and I'm trying to find some motivation. I hope we all find that spark of energy and inspiration that can drive us forward through the day, loves.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Goodnight, lovely people.๐๐๐
The combination of my injection and progesterone dose has me feeling in *complicated* ways emotionally. Get some rest in case I can't, loves.๐
Be well, be safe, be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Goodnight, lovely people.๐๐๐
Here's a picture from this morning, before the dysphoria brain worms.๐ฎโ๐จ
Be well, be safe, and please...be kind.
๐๐๐ฆ
Goodnight, lovely people.๐๐๐
My injection is done and I need to get some sleep ahead of a busy, exciting day tomorrow. Sweet dreams, loves.
Be well, be safe, be kind.
