One year ago today, the state of Washington officially changed my gender marker to female. On paper it was a small thing, but for me it meant feeling seen and finally being able to breathe a little easier. I still get emotional thinking about it. Today I am celebrating that moment and myself. 💜🏳️⚧️

CW: Father's day, Deadnaming, Gender Dysphoria
Last year, Father’s Day was tough. I wasn’t out to many people yet, and I received a wave of “Happy Father’s Day” messages—well-meaning, but painful. This year, fewer people reached out, which in itself was a small relief… until a phone call this morning.
My mother-in-law, who knows I’m trans, called early to wish me a Happy Father’s Day. She meant well, I know. But then, from the background, her partner—who doesn’t know—shouted my deadname. I froze. Managed to whisper, “I’d prefer not to...” and then the call ended. I’m still not sure if they hung up or if the line just dropped. I went to the bathroom. That’s when it hit me.
I didn’t expect to be deadnamed. It felt like being stabbed from behind—like I was dragged back into a version of myself I’ve fought hard to leave behind.I crawled back into bed and held my wife. Asked her for affirmations. And I cried. Cried hard.
Later, I put on makeup—something I usually skip on weekends—and went to my waxing appointment. That simple act, being treated kindly and affirmed, helped me breathe again. Helped me feel me again.
I found the words and texted my MIL. I thanked her. I let her know gently that I’m a woman now, and that part of my past no longer defines me. She responded with understanding and an apology. For that, I’m grateful.
But still… Father’s Day hurts. It reminds me how far I’ve come—and how far I still have to go before the world truly sees me as I am.
To those who know, who remember, who see me: thank you. It means more than I can say.
For the people who do celebrate this day, happy father's day!

After a week shadowed by heavy anxiety and deep depression, finding light felt almost impossible. But life has its way of surprising us when we least expect it. Last Thursday's concert was a beacon of hope; the band's outspoken support for the transgender community was not just a statement, it was a warm embrace, a validation of who we are, and a reminder that we belong. That night, I felt seen.
And just when I thought the week had given all its surprises, today brought a gift that words barely capture. My wonderful wife, understanding me in ways only love can explain, organized a makeup party! With some of our closest girl friends, margaritas in hand, we dove into a night of beauty tips, gifts, laughter, and singing our hearts out to 90s girl anthems. It was a moment of pure joy, of sisterhood, of being unapologetically us.
Though each of us carries the responsibilities of our own families, and such moments are fleeting, I wished tonight could stretch into forever. This wasn't just a party; it was gender affirming care in its most beautiful form, something I've longed for, desperately needed. For the first time in a long while, I felt an undeniable sense of belonging, completely at ease with my soul sisters, a contrast to the countless guys' nights out that never quite felt right. Tonight, it wasn't about letting off steam; it was about being our true selves, together.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who shared this magical night with me. Your support, your laughter, your acceptance mean the world. Tonight was a reminder that joy can find us in the most unexpected moments, and when it does, it's nothing short of transformative. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this unforgettable night of joy. 💖

My mom is not in dire need of help, mind you.
My nephew is having his name legally changed for his 17th birthday. It's not a cheap application process. I'm basically pitching in to ease the cost burden. I have a bit of cash on hand, but wanted to pitch in more.

Today I'm mostly devoted to bringing my partner to their top surgery.
It's okay! Their topp-ness will remain intact. (Thank goodness)

Hey dudes, just so you know: 90% of cases of men getting testosterone shots is not about a medical need. It's gender affirming care! And that's okay.
Don't oppose others doing the same.

I can't help but think the troubles caused by "your" government about who owns your body (#GenderAffirmation, #ReproductiveRights, etc...) can be traced to when the U.S. went off #GoldStandard.
The #FederalReserve wanted to know what would be used as collateral. Why of course... the American people ARE the collateral.
#BirthCertificate changes will only confuse the value of the loan/bailout since they believe there is a value difference between men, women and unborn children. 🤪Thoughts?

Young and trans: How does access to gender-affirming care for minors differ across the EU?
From Ireland to Spain, access to trans healthcare varies dramatically for young people, depending on where in the European Union they live. In some countries, it is virtually impossible.

For transgender women of color: legal gender affirmation – changing one's name and gender marker on official documents – can lessen economic vulnerability and overrepresentation in the criminal justice system by improving access to employment, housing, education, health care, and social services.

This morning I did a gender affirming thing for my appearance for the first time and I just felt so much better about myself than I thought I would.
If you're someone like me who is trying to figure out their gender but nervous about how you'll be perceived, try some small steps first. If it ends up not feeling right after all, no biggie. You deserve to feel right in your own body :)

CW: request for help #trans
I hate asking for help. But I have to accept I can’t do this on my own. If you have some $$ to spare it would mean the world to me. https://gofund.me/dd2ccd28 #trans #genderaffirmation
