This weekend it's a multi day queer hangout with friends and an all women comedy show, capped by brunch with some of my favorite improvisers!

I think my brain is still processing that this is real life.

"Yeah even after 11 months I still don't feel like eating pickles. Not sure what that's about." - me as I casually sprinkle more salt on my ramen for the 4th time because it's still not salty enough

Content warning:Selfie, eye contact

After joking about taking forever to try on a dress I bought online yesterday I talked myself into it today! Don't think I'll be returning this one ☺️

I'd be frustrated over conversations like those but honestly it just confirms I was right to trust myself and do what I had to do first, and come out when I felt ready.

Despite my being fully out to the important people in my life, apart from my girlfriend and my doctor nobody in my personal life knows I've been on HRT for almost a year now.

Which has made for a couple of amusing conversations about "not moving too fast" while I just stand there with a clearly visible rack wondering what exactly they have in mind.

Me buying a dress in person: Let's try this on as soon as I get home, even if it's actively interfering with my schedule.

Me buying a dress online: Let's keep this in the package for a few weeks so that if it doesn't fit I also won't be able to return it.

At this stage I'm out to everyone I'm very close to but I do still need to make a Facebook announcement just in case any distant relatives or randos I met at an open mic one time want to weigh in

Looks like folks are sharing timelines this #TransitionTuesday, so here's one of the few pictures of myself I really liked pre-transition (I think because the show itself turned out well, now I can't help but think I look so sad!) and one of my favorite recent pictures that was left behind on my old account. Dramatic lighting aside I think I can spot a few differences 😅

Me: OK I get it, the signs were there, we don't have to search out every tiny little example

The Goddess of Transfems: You sure you don't want to talk about the 5th grade?

Me: Ugh, that's the year I got bullied by the POPULAR girls 🙄

Content warning:Reference to food

I always try to make sure I eat enough during the day because I want to get as much as I can out of HRT and also if I don't I'll just wake up at 3 am and eat half a bag of chocolate chips anyway.

Content warning:Transphobia/sports

The way people treat Lia Thomas is so evil it makes me sick every time something new happens. From the swimmer who first complained Lia took her spot and is now making a whole career out of stepping on Lia's back to the absolute ghoul who released Lia's private social media that showed absolutely zero suspicious behavior I just want to send Lia the biggest hug.

Content warning:Family coming out stuff

Thinking about how my coming out to my parents unfolded I am suddenly putting 2 and 2 together and realizing there may be some confusion about the differences between being trans and performing drag 😖
