Got the catheter and packing out on Thursday, and I got to meet her for the first time. 🥰
Pain has been up and down but generally managed well. Off the oxy and just ibuprofen, Tylenol and gabapentin now. And cannabis edibles. 😎
Dilation is really not a big deal yet, but doing it three times a day is already tiring. I can move around pretty easily without much pain. Just have to keep aware of my limits.
First gift to myself when the new job starts is a new pack of these bad boys because my last set (read: the binders I alternate through currently) was bought in 2020.
Hello, world! 👋 We are a British couple, David and I, currently living our digital nomad dream in beautiful Argentina. 🇦🇷
We are passionate about:
🍃 Naturism: Living life in harmony with nature and our own bodies.
🏳️⚧️ Authenticity: As a trans woman, living openly is my greatest joy.
☕ Community: Finding open-minded people for a chat, a laugh, and a connection. #NewHere#Naturismo#SanMarcosSierras#DigitalNomad#TransJoy#Introduction
I was walking into the bathroom yesterday, impatiently turned sideways to get around the door I was opening, and my boobs bumped the door frame. Hell yes.

I posted some #TransJoy on Threads.com and I got 250 replies! Wow I wonder what that's like?!
lol, of course it's a transphobia trashfire. This always happens. Threads.com is a cesspit of #transphobia. The Fediverse was right to shut that shit down.
If you are hesitating, because you feel like an impostor, not "trans enough", take this as your cue to start! You won't get irreversible effects right away and will know soon enough if it's for you or not (only took me a night to be sure, after well over a year of fretting, but I've been told it's not the same for everyone)
If you don't want HRT, you are valid, only do what feels right for you :neocat_heart:
If you can't get HRT, I'm sorry 🫂 and you are still valid :neocat_heart:
Three years of daily selfies, strung together into a ninety-second timelapse, to document my hormonal transition.
I am so glad that I started this weird little project three years ago, part of the absolutely wild leap of faith that was starting HRT. I had no idea where I'd end up, but I hoped it would be something I wanted to share.
The image shows a green metal bridge overlooking a city street with lush greenery. In the distance, a vibrant pink tree stands out against the backdrop of green trees. Text at the top reads, "This is how I see Trans people," with a transgender flag emoji. The overall impression is one of beauty and positivity.
I bring you... the glorious Messier 31, the most prominent galaxy in Earth's sky. The galaxy is six times wider than the full moon (but a lot fainter). I have seen the bright core with my naked eyes on a couple of dark nights. #astrophotography#astronomy#transJoy
A huge spiral galaxy seen obliquely, covering most of the frame of the picture. The galaxy features several dark dust lanes and a brilliant yellowish core.
There might be many pictures today, so I apologize in advance, but it's Halloween at work and I'm loving my costume! Today, I am Lady Molly, Princess of the Forest! (I hadn't done my hair yet for the first photo.)
5 years ago today I placed a needle against my thigh, whispered a small prayer, and pushed down the plunger. It’s been a wild ride since, but I’ve never regretted that decision for a moment.
To anyone facing their own leap of faith: make the jump. You’re worth it, and it’s never too late.

On the right, a woman with long, wavy, dark auburn hair wears a dark gray t-shirt with a graphic. She has a subtle smile and looks directly at the viewer.
I brushed my teeth, flossed and had another try at trimming my beard. I felt so good: clean and ready for bed!
In one way I'm like "man I've added another body-maintenance chore?!" but it's totally worth it because the feeling of my neck being smooth because I just shaved it is so so much nicer than it being smooth because hair never grew there in the first place.
I keep touching it, and smelling the remnant of shaving cream my brain still associates with my boyfriend, and grinning. #TransJoy

9 years to the day that my egg cracked. A little more than 2 years since changing my pronouns and using my name. Not quite 7 months since I started HRT, and in 3 days I switch to E injections. And I’m in my late 40s.
If you’re convinced it’s too late - it’s not.
And if transitioning in any form is unavailable to you for safety or other reasons, know that you are still trans to me.
We are who we are, even when we only have a glimpse of who that could be. Even when we can’t share that with the world at large, it’s still real.
If the closet is the only place you can be right now, you’re still valid. You are still Real. Hold that light that is You close, and use it to keep the shadows at bay.
We’ll all be here for you the whole time, and when you’re finally able to fly.
