We undertake many journeys in our lives. From going off to college to starting a new job, we set sail to new horizons. Often, we undertake a journey that does not have a definitive signpost telling us to “start here” or “you have started a journey.”

That odd moment where you boymode for TSA only to pass and trigger alarms for not having ciswomen equipment

Feel like on any other day and context, would be a source of joy or maybe euphoria...at this moment was a trigger for terror

If I could explain anything to cis people, it would probably look something like this.
I didn’t become someone new.
This is the first thing, really. I didn’t turn into a different person.

Transitioning is a good thing.

It makes people happy in themselves and excited to be part of the world. It's a fascinating, beautiful and wonderfully human process that is worth celebrating.

It's good when people are able to access gender affirming care.

Do the last few days ago I had my last laser hair removal for my beard (outside of top-ups I will have to do) - and considering where I started I’m SUPER pleased on the end results! :apartyblobcat:

Any steps towards transitioning must be done for yourself.

You are the one who will live with the consequences of your choices whether that is living as you already are or taking steps to change things.

This is something that simply must be about you.

#TransPositivity #NonBinaryPositivity #transitioning

It's fine and normal if you want to gain some gendered characteristics out of your transition as a nonbinary person.

"Nonbinary" can look like anything. All human qualities are possible for nonbinary people.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinary #transitioning #GenderAffirmingCare

Nonbinary people can and often do take steps to transition.

It's not because they're really trans men or women in denial. Nonbinary people transition so that they can live better, more fulfilling lives.

They're not ending a phase. It's the start of metamorphosis.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinaryPride #NonBinary #transitioning

You can take your time settling into an openly nonbinary life.

It might feel urgent to "get it all done" due to paperwork deadlines or simply the pain of having to live in your current state. Nevertheless, you are strong enough to survive until other chances come along.

If you need it, you can take the time to experiment.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinary #transitioning

I struggle with the desire to be seen as simply a person without the gender baggage. I'm sure many other nonbinary people do, too.

However, we can't control what other people think or believe about us or anything else, and chasing that is an endless task.

Try to adjust things for your own sake, so that you can feel contented on your own.

Become yourself even if others pretend not to see it.

I feel like I'm only truly motivated by negative emotions like anger and disgust. It's why of all the things/projects/hobbies/lifestyle changes I've started in my life, #Linux (2010 - ) and #veganism (2012 - ) are among the rare of examples of ones I haven't quit. And of course, #transitioning (2017 - ).

I really am very crochety.

Consider following your heart more than your head when charting a course through a nonbinary existence.

Many of the labels out there are unlikely to match perfectly with your experience. The more common narratives of transitioning tend to fit poorly as well.

But the labels, hows, and whys will sort themselves out with time for you. If not, then they will settle into a brand new and fascinating arrangement.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinaryPride #NonBinary #labels #transitioning

It's alright to miss some of what you were before coming out and/or transitioning into your nonbinary self.

But, you can bring some version of your past back into your current self if you like. It's not necessarily gone. It just needs to adapt.

For someone that wrote books in which the characters are constantly #transitioning into cats or something, #jkrowling sur hates #transitions.
Totally Terflogical though; cats don't visit bathrooms.
Shame on #Trans people for their desire to relieve theirs selves of their urine when they are somewhere else then their home.

#StayHuman

Transitioning can be more than moving from one end of a binary to the other.

There are all sorts of ways that nonbinary people transition. Some journeys are essentially the same as binary women and men. Others take a winding path that includes some changes and not others. Still more will go through cycles of change.

There are as many ways to go through a nonbinary transition as there are nonbinary people, and all are real options.

A man commented that it’s a privilege to transition. To make things worse, a woman agreed with him.

You deserve access to all forms of gender-affirming care and legal resources as a nonbinary person.

Such things belong to (and are designed for) you as much as anyone else.

Your feelings about your body will likely fluctuate in a given day, week, month, or year.

You have made and will continue to make the best decisions you can regarding it. So, have faith in yourself as you weather the ups and downs.

You're the expert here.

#positivity #dysphoria #GenderAffirmingCare #transitioning

You can transition to any extent as a nonbinary person (as can other trans people).

You can change nothing at all beyond your label. You can take all the steps that trans men or women may typically take. You can try a mix of it all.

It's your journey and you get to decide how to pursue it.

#NonBinaryPositivity #Nonbinary #NonbinaryPride #transitioning #GenderAffirmingCare

You should be able to decide how to embody your nonbinary nature.

Your body is yours to dress and shape as you choose, and it is very adaptable.

Any forces that impede your needs in this are unfortunate at best and unjust at worst. In any case, such barriers are undeserved.

Okay well, since I have a little more visibility now (hi, thanks for being here, love you ​:Blobhaj_Heart_Trans:​), could y'all kindly point my ADHD ass to the manual on how to be a girl?¹ ​:blobfoxpleading:​ (see edit for specifics)

I don't know how I come off, but I am anything but calm and collected right now and could use a little direction. ​:blobfoxsweating:​​:trans_fire:​

I am likely the most unprepared cracked egg you've ever met.

Edit: To narrow the scope, the biggest unknown to me is the actual medical process of transitioning. Like, I don't know who to talk to or how to start receiving care/consultation and I don't know what pitfalls to look out for. I would love general advice on how/where to begin and start building my timeline. Oh and I'm hovering above poverty line (as many are ​:blobfoxupsidedown:​) so that's something else I need to navigate (though I think my state is good for it).

Happy to chat about this all privately via Signal or Matrix if that's easier. Just DM to coordinate.

Edit edit: Sorry for me trying to be funny getting in the way, I tend to deflect difficult to process things with humor.

¹ joke, I know there's no one source

To achieve permanent hair removal, there is only one FDA-approved option — electrolysis. This procedure is done by a technician who inserts a thin probe into the follicle and applies electric current. The produced heat damages the follicle’s ability to produce new hair.

The process of transitioning can be difficult and imperfect. It's often painful, complicated, and far from a linear process. For nonbinary people it's even harder to find anything resembling an end point.

It's much the same as any kind of personal growth. There's pain and unexpected turns in the journey, but it's an experience that ultimately adds to your character.

Embrace the wilderness of it.
