uh anyway
I love pre-op and no-op trans people and their bodies, and I wish we could accept and appreciate all types of trans bodies regardless of how they look. Pre-op and no-op trans bodies deserve to be seen. They aren't a curse, they aren't taboo, they aren't a secret. To be in the presence of such a person is the will of the divine
Woohoa you look like a woman but you're a man? Epic sauce!
First entry in a while, huh?
I hit a local barbershop on Monday and got my beard shaved off. Looking in the mirror for the next day or 2 kept making 🎶the person in the mirror isn’t me🎶 pop into my head, but since that’s passed, I think it was a reaction to not having that level of protection from weight shit (since that aspect is still here) and not a bad reaction to taking the next step in social transition.
Still dreading the inevitable coming out convo w/ my parents, and still stressing over writing the transname letter to my profs, but nothing so far is dissuading me from transition: I felt (and still actively feel) happier than (almost certainly) I felt all summer. I think this is the right choice, I just need to get over non-trans-related appearance fears to be really happy.
I wake up with a start and stumble out of bed
Making my way to the bathroom, I hit my hip on the side of the doorway
My heart pounds, pushing the estrogen through my veins
I look in the mirror and see a tired girl with messy curls past her shoulders
Everything is as it should be
I forget what I dreamt about, and brush my teeth
A comic I made last holiday season! Oldie but goodie
