My posts are about me, not you. Go write your own—I’d love to read them! 💖
Start HRT now, figure the rest out later.
There is still time. The time will pass either way.

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!

I kinda want to post the names of some of the 🤨 accounts that I’ve blocked after they liked my selfie yesterday
but honestly that’d probably worsen whatever godawful algorithmic nonsense is fueling it 😞

Insta served me up this reel today, and I saved it to my “goals/inspo” collection
(more the vibes than the look; even I don’t care for my eyebrows to be quite that thin)
(and slutty as a vibe, rather than a behavior… regular station-identification post that I am merrily monogamous with Sweetie)

oh, 🏳️⚧️💉3️⃣2️⃣☑️ around 1AM this morning. I got back from my first family Thanksgiving of the Openly Jen Era like “ok, time to do my shot!” then just crashed out on the couch for four hours 🫠
Honestly, adjusting for my first family Thanksgiving of the OJE being *also a shot day,* it went uh-mazing lol

alright kinda wanted to write some stuff about yesterday (like a ten-skeet thread to say “wow, what a new experience that was! And yet in many ways the same. Overall, it went well. In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrasts”)

I’m actually past my 20-year high school reunion (weird feeling to remember that just now)
but if I could show up to my 25th looking half this “😈🔪❤️🔥💅🏻” I would never need therapy again

Terrible news, Bunny and I are now excitedly dissecting what a Matrix musical would look like and I've genuinely made myself invested in this tragic idea
Hi Smith I'm Cypher / Hype to decipher, gift and orient a Morpheus coordinate / Correct my abhorrent mistake / Pince-nez reality meet and greet / I'm tired of tasty wheat / Don't care if it's fake / I miss blonds, brunettes and redheads and most of all steak

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

submitting this as more support for my thesis of, “pretty” is different than “passing,” and right now I’m more the former.
IMO, I’m prettier than grandmother (for one, I know how to smile 😒🙄) but I feel like it’s evident which one of us is cis. 🤷🏻♀️
(also re-upping it so you tell me how pretty I am)

Happy Thanksgiving from (respectively) the stern portrait of my dad’s mother which hangs prominently in my parents’ living room & me.
or maybe the other way around, who’s to say? 👯♀️🤷🏻♀️😉

Hard to overstate how healing it is to take in, even just a little bit, that all this is a struggle that was already long underway before we got here.
Fellow white USA queers, regular encouragement to (if NOTHING else) read Alison Bechdel’s “Fun Home” & “The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For”.

The way that there is a whole generation of LGBTQ+ folks who refuses to educate themselves on the history and the culture of the LGBTQ+ community will never not upset me.
I think when I first came out to myself in my early 20s, that was the first thing I did.

“You’ve just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. No cheating!”
I won’t actually post it, but it’s a screencap of a news article about our current “secretary of health and human services” 🙃 hoping that saying this out loud keeps that from being prophetic 😬

[skims timeline] all the hot girls seem to be waking up with migraines this morning tbh
…oh, my head. Oh there is such a pain in my… head… because that’s where migraines happen. I’m pretty sure.

😮💨 ok, I’m mentally running myself in circles (in part this is what I get for having caffeine too late into the day 🤦🏻♀️).
I gotta call it a night. Please write your own long rambling threads with your own thoughts on these topics & send me the links.
(I’m not being dismissive; I genuinely mean that!)

no duh she’s a babe!
I just… I haven’t yet had anyone approach me with “excuse me, I see that you are a trans woman”—or “excuse me, I see that you are a woman,” full stop—in a positive or negative way. And I might be so anxious about the other shoe dropping that I’m making up a guy to get mad at 😅

like in most social contexts, I think I’d rather be pretty than pass, tbh? Where I’m at now, “you don’t pass, but you’re hot” feels… more honest? 🤔
and… if cis ppl feel slight discomfort at feeling attracted to a tr*nny… that’s kinda fun 😏
But in “safety matters” contexts it is SO the opposite!! 😰

i promise I’ll post something this week other than “when I went shopping with my mom”
BUT
yesterday I tried to lead my mom towards what I’ve been saying about how “pretty” and “passing” are not the same thing (to me), and it may vary by context which one is “better” or “matters more” (to me)

My mom was telling me yesterday that she’d seen a Facebook post about “trans awareness week,” and wondered if that was a real thing.
I said yes, but there’s some in the trans community thinking that perhaps “lack of awareness” is not really the major problem trans people face, nowadays 🙃
