Psssssstt - June is coming <3 And it's time to celebrate your beautiful queer asses with some queer self love and support to friends and family gifts:)

Coming out is hard, and coming out as trans is even harder. As trans folks, we have to do it in a way pretty much nobody else ever does.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're looking at the rhetoric of How To Come Out Anywhere, so you can feel a little more confident when you invite the people you love into a deeper relationship with you.
“When you show up as your authentic self, whatever that may be, you allow others to do the same, creating the world we all deserve.” — Shanna Katz Kattari (they/them)
Finally happy with my curves and female/intersex body 💚 no more dysphoria, because sex isn't gender, and gender expression is more about behaviours and personality to me than looks. Don't want to "pass", don't care about passing, don't care if people misuse my pronouns. No matter how I'm perceived, I'm confidently nonbinary, authentically me. And after so many years of confusion, stress and body shaming, that's something to be grateful for 🌈 #TheyThem#enby#nonbinary
New-to-me instance, so I suppose I should do an #intro again -- and pin it.
Late-realized #ActuallyAutistic#AuDHD#GenX#Enby and more or less lifelong Kansan living once more in the blue bubble of #LFK. In one year I will have lived in my current house as long as I lived anywhere else in my entire life. That is kind of scary to me.
I have no idea what I said as an intro when I joined Mastodon in late 2022. I had just gotten slapped by the book of face because I said I wanted to drive to Texas to punch a Nazi. That'll tell you a lot about who I actually am.
I'm still #Novid because masking is punk as fuck, as is caring about other people in your community -- not just the shiny loud ones who are always talking and saying everything is fine.
It's not.
I believe it's going to be some version of OK, but it's going to be really different, and it might be pretty difficult, and a lot of people are going to be really uncomfortable -- but you probably already know that.
I love reading, learning, sleeping, foraging, unlearning, listening, learning to repair things, and being quiet for long stretches. I grow as much food and medicine as I can on my own small property. I try to be a good steward and give back to the land and the animals.
I am a chicken tender, and they are the joy of my existence. Those goofy birds helped me get through some really rough years recently. When you've got creatures that you have to get up and tend to many times a day, there's a reason to keep your feet on the ground on this earth for a while.
I have two dogs, three cats, and never enough time to do all the learning and reading or even work that I want to do.
I've been in my profession of bodywork for over 30 years and still love it. I'm only able to work part time due to my AuDHD and chronic physical conditions, so my work fits my needs very well.
I'm redheaded, left-handed, short, fat, and existentially angry most of the time, but I am also one of those people that will usually shut up after complaining and try to find a solution.
I'm a #meditator, meditation teacher, certified #yoga teacher, certified listener #poet, am becoming a certified #herbalist, and I like to question everything, especially authority. I have too many #typewriters and only two hands, and never enough time for all the poems that want to be scribbled down or typed out.
I'm a big fan of classic sci-fi, new sci-fi, speculative fiction, memoirs, and #books packed with useful information. I'm on the hunt for an entire set of encyclopedia, as I'm increasing my useful paper book collection. My TV choices tend toward #StarTrek, British comedy, and documentaries about weird cults/religions.
I'm very literal, and my sense of humor is very dry. I cut my teeth on 1970s #Doonesbury, to give you and idea of what I mean.
I am a weird combination of mostly vegan/vegetarian, but I do eat some chicken -- and the eggs my hens produce. So figure that one out if you can. (I can't!)
I love to cuss but I am very, very bad at it.
Some things I love about Mastodon: My Au friends here, all your cat and dog and rat and plant posts, watching monster movies on Sunday nights, my Novid and Covid-cautious friends, my #MLS soccer friends, and the character limit on this new-to-me instance. Woot!
-wear a shirt, but not at home ever again (unless it is cold as fuck)
-try to do a plank for a minute, increase slowly
-go walk to a bog
-go swimming
-stretch
-have my partner's hand on my chest and feel happy
-cook meals and do dishes with relative ease
-take a selfie
-make a video saying hi to my ko-fi supporters for the first time
-maybe have a haircut first???
-buy new shirts
-feel worthy of self care
-live a happy rest of my life
Some (mostly cisgender) folks have expressed surprise that I identify as #trans, but being #nonbinary IS transgender. We are not part of the cisgender binary, therefore we exist in a state of transition. Not everyone who identifies as nonbinary identifies as transgender and that's fine, but to me the two are inherently linked. This does not mean I'm changing into something new, or rather in a sense I always am.
@kitoconnell Seems obvious to me … but maybe that’s because both of my offspring are #enby and say that is #trans. I know that I have to keep learning.
Wishing everyone a very happy Easter and Trans Day of Visibility 💙💖
We’re celebrating this very special occasion with a collection of trans pride creations by diverse artists from across the world celebrating Trans Visibility!
While some of us knew from a very, very young age that we were trans, a whole lot of us... well, we didn't. We thought that the way things were for us was normal.
And then, one day, maybe all of a sudden, maybe after a long time exploring ourselves, we said the magic words: "Oh, s#!t, I think I'm not cis."
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we've got a guide for what to do after the bottom drops out of your world, and you got your gender wrong.
AHHH So excited to introduce my first ever shirt designs featuring quotes from my poetic texts.
I used Printify as print-on-demand climate friendly ethical provider for my designs and they are now available for purchase 🥺 This line is from my text "Emotional Responsibility", a text about transphobia and my non-binary identity.

Hi Fedi Family,
In 2008 Californians voted for Prop8 that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the California constitution. While this was defeated in courts this draconian Prop8 language is still in the California constitution. Justice tHomas and the right wing SCOTUS is openly hinting at destroying precedent and trampling rights. If they overturned Obergefell - the Prop8 language in the California Constitution will act as a “trigger law”, raining havoc on queer families like mine across California.
Please spread the word to vote “YES” to repeal Prop8 (2008) from the California constitution in Nov 2024. Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about it.
When a trans person comes out, one of the most common, and challenging, parts of doing so is responding to family members who say they need to grieve us. A lot of pain, on every side, tends to swirl around the members of a relationship when that happens.
But it's not necessarily--even commonly--a bad thing.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're talking about Letting Them Let Go--when family members grieve us in transition.

Sometimes my jewellery is made to celebrate gender - chaos. Flowery, red, passionate and soft, also Hematite grey, sharp and bold. This set is one of my recent gender chaos favourites. Hoping to send it to someone who can appreciate the mixed expression of gender diversity and celebrate it in themselves
