In a bar, tipsy and oversharing and listening to dear friends share in return. I go into the bathroom and see myself in the mirror. Damn I feel lucky to be me.

On the other hand, I'd never been asked about giving them grandkids before coming out so I'm certainly getting the pressures of a daughter.

Mostly we reminisce and repeat the same stories about childhood.

I absolutely recognize that and try to give them a lot of grace. Just getting to me after a week.

Oh absolutely out of habit. They intend to get it right, just only do about 10% of the time and it gets exhausting.

Oh thank you! I'm mostly just venting (and wondering if this should have been a shorter trip)

Trying to talk to my parents about being a woman, being trans, being gay, but none of these are interesting topics to them and that's 90% of what's on my mind. Even having a new face just gets a brief mention.

I'm doing fine. Just venting and feeling like a 3 day trip might have preserved my relationship with my parents better than a whole week.

Getting called he 30 times a day feels like gaslighting. "Am I woman enough?" I ask myself while the lady I just met on the airplane complains about her husband with an intimacy I couldn't have imagined from a stranger 5 years ago.

Longest I've been home since coming out. Parents are broadly supportive, but "oh it's so nice your friends get your pronouns right" is a dagger I get stabbed with every day.

Sure seems like they're working their way through every minority group and either declaring "you are a victim and should not exist" or "you are a villain and should not exist"

these two sweeties!
Tabby kitten and tabby older cat on a couch. The kitten is on her side and looking into the camera, the older cat is watching the kitten. Same two cats, kitten is snuggling against the older cat with her eyes closed.

Postmates forcing me to accept a delivery robot so I'm uninstalling after this order. Saving a few dollars on tip is not worth anything. I want to pay a human to do this job.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Nose and things are still quite swollen, but finally feeling ready to share my face post FFS.
My face - white lady, beanie, dark hair and glasses. I look just a little bit different than I used to. More face
