you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you
Top 10 posts that make me ask if “I never said I wanted to be a girl, just that it would’ve been easier to enjoy some of the things I enjoyed if I was a girl” was just copium
#tlbht - Theo Liveblogs (LB) Her Transition; exactly what it says on the tin: basically just journaling about my transition
#tlbhst - Theo Liveblogs (LB) Her Social Transition; the specifically-social-transition subset of #tlbht
It was never quite 'I wish I was a girl' but I vividly remember 'this [closet-watching mlp and wishing I could join the girls in my class in talking about it] would be so much easier if I were a girl.’
To the 4th-grader thinking that, who I think would fill the kindergartener's slot in this comic, I have so much I wish I could say to you, on this and other topics.
I avoided mlp for years, was always told to never touch it, I watched and instantly hit with inability to refute "I wish I was a girl."

A comic I made last year about how my past selves would react to seeing me now 🏳️⚧️
A comic I made based on dream I had shortly before starting HRT. Choosing my own destiny 🌸 Though what I thought I wanted when I was younger no longer fits who I am, my future is full of abundance and possibility.

The fact that I still have facial hair is a CRIME I need someone to scorched earth this shit.
Another unexpected (but very positive) consequence of being trans: I kinda "gentle parent" myself now, so to speak? For a long time, I've had a problem of being incredibly hard on myself in kind of every way, which is definitely not a good thing. Part of why this has changed is definitely due to mental health improvements, but I think my journey of improving my mental health and understanding my gender/transitioning are incredibly intertwined. The former kickstarted the latter and the latter drove the former forward. Had one not been present, the other would not have progressed to where it is today. I still am a bit hard on myself at times, especially when I'm frustrated, but I've gotten so much better at just being nice to myself, at just telling myself I'm doing a good job or that I did enough or that it's ok if I can only do part of this task because it's better than nothing, and I'm better at reframing my dysphoria into less of a "I hate this about me" and more of a "look how this has the potential to change." I'm just so much better at treating myself with the same kind of uplifting compassion that I try to show others. Like just. The impact transitioning has had on my mental health is absurd. I genuinely love and care about myself in a way I don't think I ever did before and it's pretty incredible. So. Some credit definitely goes to therapy and various internet people, but boy howdy is my transition already doing so much.

Hey if you’re a trans person who’s in the closet and wants to tell some trusted people who you know for sure will be supportive but you feel really intimated/nervous nonetheless, take this as some inspiration and confidence and a sign to give ripping off that bandaid another try (assuming it is safe and comfortable enough for you to do so; you wouldn’t rip off a real bandaid before the wound was safe from infection, don’t take off this one prematurely either).
I’ve also had a really hard time coming out to people. Not because any of them are unsafe, I’ve gotten incredibly lucky with my friend circle, but because it’s just intimidating and difficult. But this past week, I’ve been pushing myself to do it and it is so rewarding. Having people who know and support you is so special and the way some of them have reacted has just meant the world to me.
So. Don’t put yourself in an unsafe situation and don’t push yourself to do something before you’re truly ready, but if the only thing holding you back is just the intimidation of coming out itself, I say go for it. It’ll be well worth it.
I love winking.

hey. to the fat person reading this who wants to transition or is transitioning. make your transition goals fat like you. please. the things you aim to gain from transition can be gained while fat. you can be/express your gender and be fat. there is nothing wrong with that, no matter what anyone says. i promise.
let yourself exist. let yourself be happy. you have just as much of a right as every other person in this world to do that, especially as you transition. it's okay. you're going to be alright, and you're also going to look fucking awesome. you already look fucking awesome. it's your body. own it.
GOD I wish someone had told me I was trans so much earlier. Like. I actually take care of myself now. It's amazing. This isn't even sarcastic at all like I have just never had the energy or motivation to fucking take care of myself. But ever since I realized I was trans and figured out who I wanted to be, I've got that motivation now. I can actually get myself to put more than the absolute barebones minimum into caring for my body. It's actually incredible.
I will never not be offended that I got put in some gangly-ass testosterone-riddled skin suit when I could have been an adorable little girlie this whole time.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.
changing your life doesn’t mean you become a different person; it means you change how you live and where you stand.
you improve, grow, and transform, but you never change completely. that’s a good thing.
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
