Honestly? Did read this immediately after taking my progesterone, so yeah, I'm kind of killing it, with regard to these edicts!

Daaaaaaw, blushing now

It’s fun being out at work, it opens up certain possibilities…

I’m now wandering around work loudly talking about how I’m masculine now, and have masculine interests, like hunting, suppressing my emotions, and feeling a deep, constant sadness I don’t quite have the language to express…

I sometimes see it ☺️

Hells yeah!!!!!!

Right? It certainly does make my heart glad ☺️

And maybe learning that has been the best part of it all.

Happy Munsi’s trans-anniversary, everyone. It’s been a lovely five years.

So I’ll continue doing the work of becoming, and continue meeting this soft, silly, warm, supportive person who I’ve always been, because I’m worth knowing, and worth allowing myself to be known.

It’s a scary world, out there, and it’s only getting scarier, but I get to be a whole human being in that world now, and it’s been so, so worth it.

I don’t like myself every day, but I like myself some days, now, and I like myself enough to make the work of increasing that number of days feel worth doing.

I see a human face in mirrors now, rather than abstract shapes and sometimes Shrek, and it belongs to a person who deserves love, and warmth, and empathy, and I understand that face to be me in a way that I don’t know that I did for the first 40 years of my life.

They just kind of… stopped, once I went on hormones. Almost overnight, and I didn’t even realize it was happening until years later...
