#selfieaday — Public Fediverse posts

today we're back to #SelfieADay. i'd like this photo a lot more without the little white speck on my hat. but it is what it is. i love the stark shadows of evening sunlight, though. always a bit of a positive to be found.

i forgot to post this here too. for today's #SelfieADay this is definitely not a selfie but whatever. this is a picture from the past mri of my thoracic spine. take note of the little three circles in the circle in the middle at the bottom.

that is my spinal cord.

spinal cords are usually not supposed to be split in three. and that mass on the left where the vertebrae are is the bone tumor fusion anomaly on my spine, which while stable does press on my lung and cause a serious amount of discomfort. plus it's right there next to my lung, with a blood vessel right on top of it, et cetera, making the prospect of removing it quite complicated and dangerous.

lucky me, right?

been a while since #SelfieADay. dressed up like a real adult to be at the er for once not for myself but as an advocate and family member for the friend who has stayed with us on and off the past almost two years.

the arab-style turban doesn't actually help me get treated seriously but it does help me feel stable enough to be useful to her, in the same way as i've needed others to be with me in the past.

i'm horrid at alt text, if someone else can help out via dm and i'll get an image description post up in the thread.

know i haven't posted one in a while so here's #SelfieADay for today.

if someone can do image description as a response (id: …) or dmed to me, that would be great. thanks.

#SelfieADay to get going this morning. therapy/meeting with my Kaiser social worker just ended.

was trying to show how long my beard is getting, but the photo doesn't adequately do that.

it's still definitely not all the way grown in, and I have an intention of getting to and keeping a full beard for as absolutely long as possible, because again, as gender-affirming as the act of shaving is, having the beard is even moreso.

the beard, I think, is the reason I get gendered correctly nearly 100% of the time now, up to and including while wearing a dress; the other factor is my voice. anyway if I pull it out to its full length it's about two inches. which equals out to about 1 inch because my beard is made up of ridiculously tight curls, and if I want it to stay long I would have to use a hot comb.

anyway.

I have a serious question for the #transfem #transfeminine #transfemme communities; as a boy wearing dresses (I am transmasc, male-appearing on T post top-surgery, my gender identity is queer and boy depending on the time of day or what way the wind is blowing) as now that my masculinity doesn't feel threatened every day (not quite the words I want there; I don't know how to explain it other than that there's a huge metaphorical and physical weight off my chest now, and it unlocked doors that I had chained and barred shut for so long) I feel much freer to enjoy the feminine side of me that I truly neglected pre-transition.

I wear both dresses and skirts, especially ones that were mine pre-transition,. to paraphrase Suzy Izzard, it's just me wearing a dress, not cross-dressing or anything, just expressing myself in ways I never felt comfortable to as a girl.

there's some pictures of me hanging out around this account under the tag #SelfieADay, including a recent one of me wearing a dress. I'm 5'5", what's trying to grow into a full beard but mostly is on the sides and under my chin at least an inch and a half full length, about an inch practical length because it's curly. visible chest hair, back hair, leg hair etc that I have no interest in removing, and my hair is buzzed but it's always covered for religious reasons and some leftover modesty practise from pre-transition.

I'd like to hear anything someone (trans, fem inclined in whatever way, not interested in hearing from other trans masc folk except if someone also dresses in gender-transgessive fashion and has experience doing so outside of drag circumstances or whatever; local #blorbo folks also welcome to chime in regardless of identity/identification) feels is important to say so that I can make sure I'm respectful to y'all's communities etc. I never want anything I do to negatively impact other trans people, and I very much try to educate people when I have spoons that anyone can wear a dress, etc.

I am also fortunate enough to be in Los Angeles, and while I'm not in the heart of gay territory down here, I am also not out in 47-supporter land; and most comments I get are supportive (where I thank them and them gently inform them that I'm male and this is for comfort and fun) or compliments.

I bought what's probably going to be my primary summer sundress today (in three colours all the exact same dress because I am That Kind of autistic lmao). it has pockets, not quite enough for my phone but my vape can go in there and such. and it's super comfortable and therefore the same sort of same clothes I do with men's clothing.

so yeah. open forum, be nice, if you're rude I'm going to show you the door. I know I'm friends with a lot of transfem folks, I am mostly interested in their opinions over strangers'.

haha oops almost hit the character count over here.

#SelfieADay today is gayyyyyyy boy in a dress day! the socks are actually rainbow I just still like black and white pictures of myself sorry not sorry.

I've never done this in public with a beard before.

and of course I try to do this and act in a way that will hopefully make people more accepting and such. when I did boy in a dress day without a beard, most people mistook me for a trans woman, so I am always extra conscious of how my look gets taken and what that means to other people.

for a belated addition to #SelfieADay, April 18, 2018. I think @inoru_no_hoshi and I had known each other in person all of less than two weeks. a rare shot that I'll actually post a picture from my hair being uncovered.

looking at these pictures now, it's so, so obvious even though it took us most of at least six months for us to be even half aware.

#SelfieADay I feel very grown-up and put together today. and by that I mean that I'm dressed like a grown-up and on the inside screaming because I have no clue what I'm doing overall, and I guess when I dress well put together it makes people think that I have everything figured out lol.
