You know a few nights ago I had a simulation (dream) where I introduced myself as "Evie" and preferred pronouns to a stranger. Which I know it doesn't sound like anything special; but considering how often I am still deadnamed and misgendered by family - it's nice that I used my preferred name... kinda shows it's sticking internally now, and it feels right.

"Ask a hundred trans people what their greatest regret is in transition, and you’ll get the same answer from 99 of them: “Not starting my transition sooner.”"
This couldn't be more true. At least it is for me.

CW: Trans ID law, caregiving
When Kansas voided Jamie Miller's driver's licence, she bought an electric tricycle. She's an Army veteran who cares for her disabled adult daughter.
A judge restored her driving privileges on 17 Aug, on process grounds; the marker question is still open. The state now calls it "inconvenience".
"Just allow me the courtesy to make my own decisions about my own life."

May 29th, 2026, my bottom surgery day, a day I could never have foreseen would become so special, not even at my surgical consult back in November of last year. I have come a long way since August 2023, back when I realized I was not a boy. Three months after that, I began HRT.
In that same month, the month my egg cracked, I came out to my wife. She had already expressed words of support even before I realized I was trans. She had figured me out before I did, and it was still one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. Then the "coming out" began in full swing, starting with my mother-in-law in December 2023, along with some close friends. In February 2024, I came out at work, and to someone I had considered my sister from another mother until that point. She invalidated me and just played the far-right script instead of looking me in the eye, at my heart.
I came out to my mom in April 2024, and I knew I was fortunate to experience the unconditional love of my mom. After that, in the spirit of Pride Month, I came out to several high school friends. I also began coming out to my in-law family. In September, I came out to my brother, who began calling me his sister from that moment on, no questions asked.
From there, I began to build up the courage to come out to my dad, who was the one I feared the most. That did not happen until a week prior to my surgery, and... it did not go as well as I had hoped.
Coming out was only one side of all the work I have done in my transition. In December 2024, I changed my gender marker on my driver's license, and in February 2025, I did the same on my birth certificate. My gift to my mom on Mother's Day that year was the news that she had given birth to a daughter, legally recognized as such.
Dysphoria is a bitch. I did not know I had it for four full decades. Anxiety. Depression, they said... of course nothing worked! Once I knew what it really was, it hit me like a truck. HRT began alleviating some of it, making it more manageable as my body transformed. Heck, I am so afraid of needles, yet I have to inject myself weekly pretty much for the rest of my life!
Some things cannot disappear by themselves, though. Early in 2024, I asked for a referral to be put on the waitlist for bottom surgery and facial surgery. In April of that year, I was notified that I was on the waitlist for both procedures, and that it would take a couple of years to hear back from them again.
Then came April 2025, when I was notified that I was now eligible to schedule my surgical consult for bottom surgery, which landed in November of that year. After being accepted, I was told I would receive a call "eventually" to schedule a surgery date, and they did not know exactly when.
From that day onward, I was glued to my phone, hoping that each time it rang, it would be the surgeon's scheduling office. In March 2026, I received such a call, but I was still fresh out of my gallbladder surgery and within the healing and recovery window. Fortunately, it did not take long. The following month I received the call again to schedule my pre-op consult and my actual surgery date, and both went ahead as planned.
Today, four months have passed since my surgery. I can say I am almost fully healed. My dysphoria went down dramatically! I had not realized how bad I felt each time I felt and saw what was down there... and the euphoria I feel from having a vulva!
I do not feel like "something is missing." It is more like feeling free of something I had to carry for the past 40+ years, and I did not know how much it was really hurting me, since I had always had it from the moment I was born.
Yet the journey continues. This Friday, I will have my consult for facial surgery! Yes, I have come a long way, on a journey I never thought I would have. Once I decided I was going to take it, knowing I would face so many hurdles, I have not regretted it once!

With my hand tremor, I can't possibly paint my nails myself.
So a church friend of Jalan's comes by now and then to re-do them for me! I or Jalan can to touch-ups here and there, and I can apply a fresh top clear-coat in between.
So they're always this color. I'm loving it. It fells like me.
I saved the photo of the thumb in particular for its length and shape (yes, it's a thumbnail image, I know) to show her next time as the "Lindan ideal" of my nails.

Yesterday my neighbour was speaking with my brother and he said something like “…and your sister doesn’t have…” with me present and it took me a moment to even register that he meant me because it was the first time someone referred to me as my brother’s sister. And damn, it’s one of the best feelings. I’ve been waiting for this for sooo long.

Was using the magnifying-and-lighted makeup mirror in my hotel bathroom to shave and could not help noticing that after a few years of bupkis, my chest now is covered with 1/4"-long hairs, and they are coming in dark unlike my head hair. They are harder to see without the mirror due to my chest tattoos.

63° feels amazing after all this heat. Walking in the morning doesn’t cause instantaneous sweating. 🙌 #TransJoy

Things have been a little quieter around here lately... and there’s a reason for that. 😎
I’m currently enjoying three weeks of vacation, with just two days left. 🏖️😅So yes... I’ve been busy doing very important things, like wandering around, taking photos, enjoying the coast, and generally forgetting what day of the week it is. 😂
More pictures and stories coming over the next few days. 💜📸

I remember being read the ugly duckling story as a kid and getting angry at it because obviously that wouldn't happen for me.
I was wrong, it just took me a long time to get there.

I went to a meeting this morning. I met the meeting, and the meeting met me, and we parted on good terms.
Then I spent a good few hours at the library being quite productive. I actually got a good slice of the legendary ADHD hyperfocus. When I pulled myself out of it, I had that just-coming-out-of-the-cinema experience of "Wait: where am I and who am I?"
And then I remembered, and was terribly pleased. Walked round for a bit, had a drink at the Dickens, went home.
Look at me! Whee!

Basically been told by a friend who has known me pre-transition that Oestrogen has saved me (not their exact words but it’s ultimately what they meant). And the more I process (think) how much happier I am now and how much more I like the chassis (body) I inhabit compared prior my egged cracked and started E (AMD wearing femme clothes)- the more I think they have a point. :akko_excited: :QueerCatHeart_Trans:

As I approach 5 years of being a trans woman, with 3 on HRT, I fully am seeing the girl in the mirror now and #dysphoria is much less of an issue

On 17 September, Cuba's Civil Registry Law takes effect: any adult can correct the sex on their ID by simple request — no surgery, no court, no criminal-record check.
Danny Ortiz, 25, in Havana, waited years for a card that reads the way he does. "I have plans to get married and have children. But first I need to change my name."

#Trans people deserve more than just surviving in public spaces. We deserve ease, safety, employment, love, and the ordinary peace of being seen for exactly who we are. Stop debating our right to exist. 🔥 #Transgender #TransJoy #PrideMonth
