I know today isn't #transitiontuesday, but I'm posting a #transitiontimeline anyway. This one is special for me. I'm wearing no makeup, no distinctly feminine outfit, and I've done nothing with my hair except pull it into a bun. **And there are visible changes!!** I feel more femme, I see myself as more femme, and it doesn't require substantial effort anymore.
I wanted to share these photos because #transitioning is messy. It's long, it's slow, it requires a ton of effort and constantly managing #dysphoria , and **it works**. I feel better about myself today than I ever have in my life, despite the huge amount of change I still hope to undergo.
Fedi helped make it happen. I joined Mastodon shortly after hatching with a million questions and no idea where to start searching for answers. What I found here was a welcoming community of people, many of whom were making amazing progress in their own transitions.
I spent the past year learning and growing, becoming more familiar with who I truly am, and want to be. I've made friends who have changed my life in unexpected and beautiful ways. I've shared **myself** in ways that would have been unimaginable prior to hatching. I feel compelled to recognize this community for all the support, growth, and #transjoy it has provided me. Thank you, my dear, dear friends :Blobhaj_Heart_Trans:
I also want to acknowledge how difficult this process is. So far, I've spent a year painfully extricating my gender experience from the cisgender, heteronormative environment in which I was raised. I've spent two months now making sense of how my approach to relationships has been shaped by the mononormativity that pervades modern media, advertising, social systems, and American culture. And after some intense conversation last night (that went wayyyyy past my bedtime), I'm realizing that even my understanding of love was propagandized by my upbringing. The process of unmaking old habits and shaping new, healthier ones is excruciating. And recognizing how much of **my** life was withheld from me by xenophobic people and systems is frustrating to no end.
So thank you, Fedi, for saving my life, in the sense that without your help, I would never have taken ownership of it in a way that lets me be authentically me, and shape my future independently from, and in spite of, my past. You are **ALL** amazing and beautiful.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Did someone say #TransitionTuesday ?
It's been a while, so what the hell. 2008 (pre-transition, pre-HRT) vs 1-June-2024.

CW: Pre-transition selfie, EC
#TransitionTuesday #Selfie time! I was at the barber with my youngest kid yesterday, and took this from the same location as another pic, another lifetime ago.
Me on June 8th, 2021 (1.5 years before starting HRT) and me on June 3, 2024 (1.5 years after starting HRT). -
Things have been tough at home (relationships suck) but since it is 6 months on HRT I am trying to focus on the positives I have found being myself. Nothing like a nice dress to show my progress. From purchase back in Oct 2022 to wearing out in public the first time in Jan 2023 to starting to really be more me in April 2024. I think I'm wearing it better these days. #trans #transisbeauitful #transjoy #transitiontuesday

CW: CW: Transition selfies with eye contact
Yesterday I braved the high winds, cold, and impending lake effect snow in order to get blood drawn for my HRT labs. Then a picture from 10 years ago popped up in my FB memories. So here is a comparison, dressed for the cold ten years ago vs now. No makeup in either picture.

I've been wanting to do a transition Tuesday shot for ages, but I've been in pretty tough shape. Put some good tunes on today and so I guess it's gonna be a transition Friday instead. Feel more like myself than I ever have and I'm so grateful for that.

CW: Selfie, glowup
I started #HRT when I was 33. I'm at about 2.5 years and now google doesn't think I'm the same person. My hips are wider and angled differently, my shoulders are rounded even the structure of my muscle has changed. And that's just physical. That's not even talking about the emotional changes. It's never too late to transition. Happy #transitiontuesday #transjoy #glowup

I am absolutely far too in love with this coat. It's also made it easy to find me at the conference I am at this week.

So then there’s this guy.
Look at dat li’l baby face! Awww! How cute was that Marine boy? Ok, maybe not that cute. But seriously though, I had a pretty good thing as that guy, cute as he may or may not have been.I'm afraid my detransition comment from earlier was made when I was feeling really down and, I just…
I mean he was a good guy and he protected me but I just can’t go back.
Ya done good Marine.So #TransitionTuesday from June 1994 to five days ago.

Since I see some #TransitionTuesday posts, I'll be self-indulgent and do another before/after. My transition is purely a social one, and so I have to celebrate the little things. But I'm starting to realize the little things are adding up to enough.

Looks like folks are sharing timelines this #TransitionTuesday, so here's one of the few pictures of myself I really liked pre-transition (I think because the show itself turned out well, now I can't help but think I look so sad!) and one of my favorite recent pictures that was left behind on my old account. Dramatic lighting aside I think I can spot a few differences 😅

I guess it's #TransitionTuesday, so here's me, fancy duds edition! The first one is in 5 years pre-hatching, and the second is 27 months HRT.
Liiiiike... still wearing formal clothes with collars, I guess? 🤣

It's Tuesday, so I guess I'll participate in #TransitionTuesday . I came out for the first time in 2011, but had to go back into the closet by my ex-wife in 2013. I came back out in 2016 and finally started hormones in 2019. It's been a long journey but I'm much happier with myself now than I've ever been in my life.
