🏳️‍⚧️🚺, finally 🐣ing & posting through it (💊24-12-06, 💉25-06-24). She/her. 40. Call an informed consent clinic TODAY to make an appt for HRT, even if you don’t want it—by the time the appt happens, who knows? There is still time. The time will pass anyway.

Well y’all, a bish welcomes any thoughts on the matter, bc it do be that time lol

Again, I’m most looking for tactical advice in doing this as an out trans woman, which is the new part for me this go-round 🏳️‍⚧️🚺🤷🏻‍♀️ Some of y’all are uniquely qualified, among my friends, to share that perspective!

Looking towards the setting sun, a woman stands on a sidewalk watching a bus go past her reading “not in service.” Words superimposed over the orange sky read “alright, time for a job search”

who among us 🤷🏻‍♀️

you’re doing it anyway. That’s better 💖

The boy meets world ep is a titan of the genre, totally. I should look up this YouTube channel… you don’t know of the top of your head what it’s called, do you? No, no, I can do my own homework lol

girl I would do an entire separate podcast series on The Secret World of Alex Mack, that was *foundational*. And they must have done a body-swap in there somewhere, right? I’m 85% sure they did (we were not a cable household during its original run, so I only caught the occasional ep @ a friend’s)

Like I would get stuck in a section of the mail, break free, get to the next section, still not the section with the Apple Store—then I’d get stuck there too. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also my main pseudo-ex from my 20s was there? 🤷🏻‍♀️

God. You take one night off the Seroquel & when you’re back on, it kicks you in the ass 😣

barely dragging myself awake from dreams where I was working jobs I’ve had in the past, like the Apple Store, but I had to do so under my deadname and the mandatory shirts didn’t fit right. Then I went on break from the Apple Store, but I got lost in the mall & kept wandering eternally…

hmmm… I am “between full-time jobs” at the moment… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 14h

maybe I should not let my dreams stay dreams 🤔

actually that probably already exists, right? Seems like it would almost have to. Some enterprising trans gals in the 2014-2021 era must have taken on this sacred duty.

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 15h

Someone should do a podcast where each episode looks at the seemingly obligatory gender-swap/body-swap episode of a different late-80s-through-early-00s kids’ show…

track down the ppl who wrote, directed it…

be like… “🙋🏻‍♀️! 📺🏳️‍⚧️🤨? 📝🤷🏻‍♀️.”

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 15h

“I mean we’re all watching the same cartoons and Power Rangers and stuff, right? So every kid has fantasies about getting body-swapped with the pretty popular girl who flies the pink pterodactyl, that’s just normal boy stuff”

🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️

it’s 2014 again? 😲 BRB I have an escalator to booby-trap

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 15h

yeah I don’t know why you would do that to yourself

if nothing else watch the horror version “Freaky” (2020)

🥰 Thank you, I was really feelin’ myself in this one 😊

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 16h

oh guess I’ll take this 👆 nonexistent selfie down 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hallowed Bae Thy Ween @randallsd.bsky.social · 17h

No wait, it's brilliant. Just loudly shout "NO ONE ON BLUESKY IS HOT ANYMORE PROVE ME WRONG" and wait for the sexy photos to roll in! That's how it works, right?

🥰 I do, I do know 💖 today particularly it was an “ok, now let me get out of my head about it” issue on my own part lol 😅

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 17h

🫂 incredible sympathies, Claire-bear (…do we like that, or…?). Hang tough. It’ll probably be fine, but just because your anxiety might be overactive doesn’t mean it’s unreasonable.

This guy’s gotten with the program… slowly… I don’t feel like he was misgendering me this time!

It’s just funny bc like… he knows, and he knows I know he knows… but we are (hopefully 🤞😬🤞) hitting the inflection point where he’d look more & more foolish to everyone in line if he called me “Mr.” 😎

Jen (early transition arc) 🏳️‍⚧️ @transducer.bsky.social · 26d

Tim Blake Nelson-looking checkout guy at the local CVS’ pharmacy counter just this last time, I think, started to finally figure out that the 5’11” skirt-wearing person may be picking up prescriptions written to a not-traditionally-femme name but she probably doesn’t want to be addressed as “sir” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Spacey Kacey @kaceyisspacey.bsky.social · 26d

Is it wrong to assume a part of the trans experience is to have a somewhat antagonistic relationship with your local pharmacy?

Lila I am taking it *all* around the block here, are you kidding me? I’m low-key going to project this selfie on billboards; call me Amaryllis the way I’m staring at it 😉
