#transjourney — Public Fediverse posts

The past year has been fun as I have found my style and embraced my expression. However, in 2026 I need to get a bit more stability especially if I am going to continue to progress in my transition journey and grow my relationship. #Trans #Transfem #Transjourney #2026 #newyear #mtf #Transgender

Getting back from New Zealand, I have been reflecting on how much has changed since my last overseas trip, which helped me have such a more positive experience. #Trans #Transjoy #Tgirl #Transjourney #Translife #Transgendertravel

I've been meaning to start a manga-style webcomic for years. I got inspired by @[email protected] and many other artists, and like them, I also want to share a little bit of me and my life.

Unfortunately, although I wanted to hand-draw every illustration, I no longer have the time, energy, or ability (or money...) to commit. Hence, I will rely on AI for now. The last time I was serious about drawing and art was 20 years ago! I would like to pick up drawing again, yet my ADHD brain needs to see quick results to stay motivated.

Anyway, like many trans people, I came to a point in my life when I finally cracked my egg, though this happened much later in life for many reasons. Raised Catholic (#recoveringcatholic), in a very misogynistic and patriarchal society, my real self had to hide very deep, so much so that I lost her for many, many years. Unfortunately, I did not have the vocabulary to describe what I was feeling and experiencing throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Yet, I have been in therapy for almost a decade now, which helped me begin to let go of guilt and shame and accept my feelings.

I am an avid anime fan, and for some reason I did not fully comprehend at the time, I especially enjoyed watching gender-bend series, which at one point felt like a guilty pleasure.

It all began when I went to visit my folks during summer break, in a small town where there is not much to do except binge-watch anime the whole time.

This is where it all began...

Starting a new relationship is terrifying, and as a transwoman it really can be a leap of faith. However, a year on, I have definitely found a new source of joy and support, which has me looking to the future.

A few years down the road...

This was one of the first dresses I ever had the courage to try on instore back in 2022. I remember having one of the biggest hits of euphoria in that dressing room that I just had to buy it. It took me another 4 months or so to work up the courage to wear it.

It's been a few years now, and I have a wardrobe full of cute dresses, but this one still has special meaning for me and is a good reminder of how far I've come.

Starting to finally like my body.

Two years on HRT and I have reached an important milestone, I am fairly comfortable with my body. It's feminine and is finally feeling right when I look in the mirror. My journey is far from complete, but reaching this point dispell's some old fears and fills me with joy.

It's getting close to my birthday, and I can't help looking back at some old photos. While some may find this triggering and I admit there are definitely those that cause me a bit of pain looking back shows not only my progress on this journey but also the things that don't change, the things that are always going to be part of my identity. #Trans #transgender #Transjourney #transition #transfem #mtf #transglowup #glowup #transexperiences #transjoy #change #identity

Give yourself a break: the ongoing challenge of showing myself compassion.

I have been stuggling to show myself compassion. Instead, I tend to blame myself when things don't go well and have unreasonable expectations. It's a mindset I need to break by taking some small steps, and part of that is talking about it.

I used to be way too serious...

It used to be an effort to smile for the camera. Most of the time, it just looked fake, so I just had to perfect a cool stare.

Nowadays, it is hard to wipe the smile from my face. My whole mindset is different. Just looking at myself in the mirror sometimes leaves me on a high.

I started a new insta as I feel like there might be something going on @jeanieb_nc as it is just so stagnant. At least this one doesn't have my ex-wife checking on me or family members who can message me about stories they find insulting because she thinks they have all been amazing. Means I might have a bit more freedom. So help me build some followers and encourage me to keep sharing.

After seeing some concerning posts after the supreme court discission regarding terminology I felt driven to talk about gatekeeping in our community and the harm it does to vulnerable people. #Trans #Transrights #LGBTQIA #Transcommunity #TransExperience #gatekeeping #Transjourney #Pride

As a teacher, I get a yearly school photo and have found they are a good marker of my journey.

Deciding to date was a dauting and terrifying decision but a necessary step in rebuilding my life and moving on. Filled with nerves and being overly cautious, I found myself exploring the online #LGBTQIA dating scene. Thankfully, it has worked out for the best. #Trans #Transjourney #dating #LGBT

The ability to express myself and explore different parts of my identity without caring so much about what people think has been a huge part of my journey and continual work in progress. Currently, I love the chance to show a bit of attitude on the weekends, especially if it means testing out something new. #trans #transjoy #transisbeautiful #transjourney #transexperince #mtf

My latest YouTube video looks at the challenge and important step of finding our new name. A bit of advice as well as an opportunity to tell a bit more of my story. Hopefully, it is helpful for anyone struggling with this at the moment. #trans #transition #names #transjourney #transexperience

It's been 3 years since I came out as trans, and it continues to be a challenging journey. The last 12 months especially I have seen some new lows but hopefully it has put me on a more positive trajectory for the future. #Trans #transjourney #Translife #Seperation #transexperience #movingon

So far 2025 has been filled with firsts where I am constantly adapting to life. It has broaght pletny of challenges and some amazing positives but I find I need to remind myself that some things take time. #Trans #Translife #parenting #Life #Transjourney #Changes #LGBTQIA #thingstaketime

My journey so far has been one of the compromises to save my relationship and fit expectations. In 2025, I am done with that nonsense and plan to priotise myself. I've got a lot planned and it should be a lot of fun. #Trans #NewYear #2025 #Transjourney

After the year I have had, it seemed at times hard to think about getting to Christmas, but here we are. It's great to be able to have a laugh and celebrate with family today. Hopefully, anyone else struggling at the moment can also find a little joy. #trans #transjourney #transjoy #transisbeautiful #christmas #christmas2024

It has been two years of sleeping on a temporary / 'fold out' bed before 6 months living with my parents and working through a separation. It's been a rough journey, but I feel like I am starting to move on and build something new. Moving into my own place with a proper bed this week has been a massive step forward. #trans #movingon #relationships #separation #transjourney #transexperiences #lgbtqia

I'm breaking in another new skirt tonight for my new annual transversery celebration with a couple of friends. #trans #Transgender #transjoy #transisbeautiful #transjourney

Celebrating 1 year on HRT 🎉. A little over 2 years ago, this was the first dress I wore out in public, all self-conscious and full of nervous energy. Now, I'm definitely rocking a lot more confidence and feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. #transjoy #trans #transjourney #transisbeautiful #Transgender #mtf #hrt

After discussing dysphoria, it was only right that my next video, this #TransAwarenessWeek, was focusing on something positive, like exploring the Gender Euphoria and the impact these positive moments can have. #trans #transjourney #gendereuphoria #lgbtqia

Today, it is massive step in my own personal journey and really symbolizes how far I have come this year to feel valid and confident within my identity. #trans #transjoy #transjourney #Transisbeautiful

It's #transawareness week, so I am sharing more of my experiences and discussing some big topics over on YouTube. First, let's talk #genderdysphoria, everything from triggers, and how things change to strategies I use to get through the bad times. #trans #transisbeautyful #Transjourney #transexperiences

I have been thinking of volunteering or working more closely with the community for a while, but I never really thought I had the time and knew it wouldn't go down well with certain people in my life. However, as I am trying to move on, I aim to prioritize my values and the things I care about more.

So, I have been on the lookout for new opportunities to get involved and be more active within our community, so I am signing up as a TGV volunteer. Partly since in the early days, I relied a lot on information and support from groups like Transgender Victoria, so I think it is time to give back. #trans #transjourney #lgbtqia #community #LGBTQ

It's hard to move on & let go right now. After 14 years there are lot of things to work out. Instead I'm struggling to let go of negative emotions & waiting on things which keeps pulling me back. #Trans #Transjourney #Relationships #Breakups #LGBTQIA

Today marks one year on HRT, and what a wild ride it’s been! 🏳️‍⚧️

From walking into my PCP’s office expecting to be placed on a long waiting list, to navigating moments of frustration and uncertainty, it’s incredible to think about how far I’ve come. I started this journey thinking it would take months just to get started, but fate had other plans. A last-minute consultation, my therapist’s support, and a gender dysphoria diagnosis all aligned, allowing me to take my first steps toward becoming my true self.

Starting HRT wasn’t without its challenges. Every dosage change brought migraines, and my emotions were all over the place, but it also opened up a part of myself I’d kept hidden. Crying over the smallest things has become more common, but it’s a reminder that I’m feeling everything more deeply, more honestly. My therapist has been my guide, but at the end of the day, I’ve had to walk this path myself—breaking free from gender norms and expectations one step at a time.

Sharing my journey with friends and family has been mostly welcomed, though not without its bumps. Still, those who truly matter have shown me such love and support, and that’s what I hold onto. 🥰

Dysphoria is tough—it’s brutal, really. But HRT has helped me manage it. I’ve had to mourn the female childhood I never got to live, but I’m learning to embrace my inner girl and listen to her needs. This is just the beginning. My body and mind are evolving, and there’s still so much ahead.

Here’s to many more years of becoming who I’ve always been inside, and finally seeing the real me in the mirror. The core of me hasn’t changed—just freed from layers that never belonged. ✨

I have literally just discovered the utter comfort of wearing sweatpants. Where have these been all my life. The added bonus is that I still think I look pretty cutie. #trans #casual #comfort #transjoy ##transisbeautiful #Transjourney

Due to circumstances, I am currently compressing a lot of things into one little room and making it feel like my space. It might be a little crowded, but it definitely says a lot about me. #translife #transjourney #identity #life #lego #deskspace
