  1. I just got my orchiectomy, and it "hurts" less than my heavily hurt foot right now.

    Don't let fear delay this surgery if you're a trans woman. Just get it. I'm walking like nothing happened for example.

  3. @oldladyplays I want to share a longer story that is not recent, but that I have thought about last week. It's about Carmina Burana, #transjoy , and things coming full circle.

    When I was a teenager of about 14, 15 years, in a small town (and being categorized as a girl), I took part in my rather large school choir. It is special is a way - not only students, but also teachers, parents, and alumni. I loved singing Carmina Burana as an Alt voice, but knew I was in the wrong category. The conductor was also my music teacher, a passionate person about all acoustic things and highly talented.

    Some twenty years later, after a lifetime of different experiences, I moved back to my hometown for a year. When I heard that the same person conducted the choir and Carmina Burana was done again, I joined, now as a Tenor. It was at the same time tricky (as some parts differ quite fundamentaly between those voices, and I had to stop myself from singing what I was used to) and very satisfactory as I could finally sing the male parts that I wanted.

    I also discovered that the conductor and I had something in common: she was now living as the woman she had always been hiding inside. She also recognized me from my student days. We were never close back then, but seeing us both after transitioning gave us a kind of connection, of kinship in a way, that is hard to describe. I am grateful that we could have this moment together, of standing proudly on stage as us.

  4. You know a gender affirming moment I had earlier today while I was out was I was by the bridge at a river, amazing view, I rested my arms on the bridge and instinctually (yet unintentionally) stuck by butt out and just leaned onto the bridge while admiring the view. This + the clothes I'm wearing (that I showed earlier today) made me feel SO euphoric and feminine. It was just so gender affirming despite not talking to anyone, and was just by myself. I was just happy how cute I was...

    Sometimes it's the simple things that can be the best gender euphoria. :akko_excited:

You know a gender affirming moment I had earlier today while I was out was I was by the bridge by a river, equitable view, I rested my arms on the bridge and instinctually (yet unintentionally) stuck by butt out and just leaned onto the bridge while admiring the view.

  9. @oldladyplays My #transjoy :

    Seven years after I started transitioning, this is what I’m doing: resting, enjoying Dutch wine and cheese, and writing something I want to do a video on for my class.

  10. I stopped letting myself settle for thinking my makeup looks good enough when I put it on and I got my eyebrows in check. Frankly, I've never looked hotter ツ

  11. @oldladyplays I recently fell in love with another woman, the gentlest, most accepting person I know. She recently called me beautiful, and we've said "I love you" to each other. 🥰

  12. @oldladyplays

    Meeting up with a couple of trans friends on Friday and enjoying a Steve Hackett concert.

    And tomorrow (Monday the 25th) will be an anniversary of sorts, as my transition began 7 years ago!

    And all the hugs, and may you find joy in this difficult time. 🫂

  13. @oldladyplays

    I had a girls' afternoon with a bunch of girls and they fully embraced me being openly and vocally trans without ever making me feel the slightest bit out of place for being the only non-cis one.

    I count it as #TransJoy because I'm different and I still belong. I *am* the same as the cis girls without pretending I'm *made* the same way. And they were all about letting me feel that way. Differing but not being something abnormal.

    I'm struggling to phrase what I mean but hopefully it comes across between the lines.

  14. @oldladyplays

    How about some joy that is coming up soon? June 12 will be the 30th anniversary of getting my name changed and I'm really looking forward to celebrating that day. It feels really good to know that I've made it this far!

  15. I am having a painful day.

    Would you kind folks, in the next 24 hours or so, tag me on a post you make about the last moment (or much longer?) you had or saw some #TransJoy ? Or #NBJoy ? Or #AgenderJoy ? Now you see why I'm asking? Too many possible sources. #BlackJoy or #DisabledJoy or #DeafJoy or so many others.

    If you've a marginalised identity and found joy recently, tell me what it was. Don't be afraid to say it was about discomfiting your oppressor. Speak your joy. Doesn't matter if I share an identity with your oppressor, I don't do defensive. If I've done what you say, I'll apologise and/or accept responsibility for my failures and misdeeds and privilege. If I haven't, then I will share your victory joy, bc any oppressor is too many.

    I just want to hear what's bringing you joy in an identity important to you?

    Thread RULE: if it isn't about you, don't make it about you. You need to defend yourself for some reason? This is neither time nor place. Joy only. You wanna hurt someone? Not here. This is a braver space than that.

    What's your joy, if you want to share?

  39. To every trans sister still hiding pieces of herself: I see you. You are not too much. You are not wrong. You are beautiful and worthy exactly as you are. The world needs our real, messy, radiant selves — not another polished version. 🌸
    I’m learning to love her out loud. Slowly. Tearfully. Proudly. One unfiltered photo at a time.
    Which slide feels more like “me” to you? 1 or 2? 💖
