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.🏳️⚧️
The love and support with which she responded helped reinforce my confidence to embark on this amazing journey.💜
Thanks sis. I love you.🫂
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.💜🏳️⚧️
Today was the first time I picked up my HRT prescriptions under my real name!🎉
It was nice not having to mumble my deadname to a stranger to get my girl pills.💜🏳️⚧️
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.😔
Good morning, all.🌤💜
This girl needs to get out of bed and get ready to go run errands. I hope your Saturday is amazing, loves!💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Goodnight, lovely people.🌌💜🌙
Dar is pleasantly drunk and wants to wish you a wonderful evening and a restful night, loves.🥴💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
I've been struggling a bit with self-doubt recently. So if you want to, please share something good that's going on in your life, I could use the boost! Take care today, loves.🫂💜
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Some days I'm still just amazed that I get to be her. I was entirely certain this wasn't possible just a few years ago.💖🏳️⚧️
I've never been so happy to have been wrong.😅
Good morning, all.🌤💜
I've been struggling to keep myself together recently, so any positivity you could share would be welcome. I hope your day holds more joys than sorrows, loves.🫂💜
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Forcing a smile in an attempt to fight through some intense dysphoria.😬
Trying to find anything good about how I look and honestly? I can't see it...😕
Maybe a latte will help.🤷♀️
Every now and then my dysphoria spikes, and it helps to remind myself of how far I've come.💜🏳️⚧️
Roughly 6 years ago compared to now at 17 months HRT. A work in progress, but not bad, right?
After a lovely time watching the USWNT and chatting with the marvelous
@RJC_2018
, it's time to run out for groceries and a latte.⚽️🥰☕️
Provided I can pull myself out of bed.💜
Good morning, all.🌤💜
And welcome to the weekend! I hope you have an amazing one, whatever you get up to. I'm still a bit wobbly, but I'm trending better...thank you for being so supportive.🫂💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
I'm getting ready to head down to my cousin's place for Thanksgiving. It will be the first time that much of my extended family has seen me since I started transitioning.🏳️⚧️💖
Wish me luck!💜
As I get further along in my transition, I've realized that I no longer have the jealousy I once had for the looks of other trans women.
I used to want to look like them, idolizing them in a clearly unhealthy way. But now? I just want to look like me.🏳️⚧️💖 1/7
Good morning, lovely people.🌤💜
I want to wish you all a safe and enjoyable New Year's weekend, whatever your plans are. Please look after one another out there, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Goodnight, all.🌌💜🌙
I've been really disappointed with how I look today...but I wanted to wish you all restful sleep and sweet dreams. Take care of yourselves out there, loves.🫂💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.

My best çis guy friend texted me last night to talk about his relationship issues because he wanted "a woman's perspective".
And THAT, my friends, is some genuine, but bittersweet affirmation.💖🫂
"Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands
And bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight..."🌙🎶
I'm not doing so well. Goodnight, all.
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
So, confession time: I'm a trans woman who has never played the Fallout games.🫣
I agreed to watch the series with my gf because she enjoys the games and her taste is pretty impeccable.
After seeing a glimpse of that world, I NEED more. I guess it's time to try the games.🤷♀️
Good morning, lovely people.🌤💜
And a happy Friday to you! May the day treat you gently, and may you end the week in a better place than you started.🫂💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
This tired girl wants to wish you the absolute best weekend that you can have. Whatever your plans, I hope their reality far exceeds your expectations.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Goodnight, all.🌌💜🌙
I'm really hoping that all the sleep I didn't get last night arrives tonight. Sleep soundly and dream sweetly, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
This girl was up a bit too late watching hockey with her girlfriend last night. I will slowly get moving, but I hope your Sunday has already started off beautifully. Take care, loves.💖🏒
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Imagine my surprise when I woke up today and I was still visible! Nothing to do but go buy a coffee about it.🏳️⚧️🤷♀️☕️
Hope you're doing well today, loves.😘
For at least 15 years I dreamed daily of transitioning. But I never thought I'd have the courage to actually do it.
Now I'm just over one year in, and I am ridiculously giddy that I finally get to be her.🏳️⚧️💜
Good morning, lovely people!🌤💜
I hope your year starts off in the best way possible. May we all find the energy and inspiration to make all we can out of 2024. Much love to you all.🫂💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
It's a quiet, rainy morning in my corner of the world, and I'm lingering in bed for a bit. Whatever your plans for the day are, I hope you have the best possible time.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
May this anonymous Tuesday become memorable for all the right reasons. I hope your day is unexpectedly brilliant, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
I can't explain it, but I feel like this picture makes me look simultaneously older and younger than I actually am?🤔💜
My look is confusing me today...😅🤷♀️
Good morning, all.🌤💜
And happy Transgender Day of Visibility! I hope your day is beautiful, affirming, and safe. Let's do what we can to support and uplift each other, loves.💖🏳️⚧️
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all.🌤💜
I'm afraid I don't have much of a hopeful message for you today. Like most of us, I think I'm just trying to muddle through as best I can. Look after each other, we need to stand together now more than ever.🫂🏳️⚧️
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋

I'm posting this picture because my gf liked it so much...but I'm not entirely sure why. Sleep well, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
I can be pretty harsh on myself when I'm at my most dysphoric.
But I'm really appreciating how much my face shape has changed from 9 to 29 months on HRT.🥰🏳️⚧️
Good morning, all.🌤💜
I haven't been at my best of late, but I'm still trying to feel better. I hope the rest of your week builds some positive momentum that can carry you through, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Goodnight, all.🌌💜🌙
I was knocked off balance slightly by today's events. I'm hoping a good night's sleep will set me right. Sweet dreams, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Good morning, all!🌤💜
I'm not really one for pranks or practical jokes, so you won't find those here. I just hope that both your week and month start off in fantastic fashion, loves.💖
Be well, be safe, be kind.
😘💜🦋
Goodnight, lovely people.🌌💜🌙
Forgive my electrolysis-scarred face, it's been a day. May you sleep soundly and have the sweetest of dreams, loves.💖
