Snapshot of a woman on a rainy day who just spent the morning digging into insurance coverage changes, followed by folding laundry, and now wants to hear about the latest in trans selfies.

Today the initial pieces are in place where I may do something fills me with mega excitement and a dash of anxiety.

Nothing like starting a birthday by doing a celebratory shot of estrogen into one’s leg 😉

This birthday, is the one I feel most connected to in my life.

It is a twisted sense of amusement when I explain to CIS people why I plan extra time to go through airport security.

That said, so far I’ve been lucky and only had some extra groping during my first flight after transition 🤢. Last few flights I breezed through. But with everything going on, I plan for the worst and hope for the best.

That means getting there early, having extra documentation even a domestic trip, and everything as close to perfect as possible for security checkpoints.

This morning was a big achievement.

I walked the hallway (with the help of a walker)!!!

Recovery is going good. Pain is well managed. Eating solid foods. Only issue with has been my blood pressure dropping and I would get faint when standing, until this morning, which is a big step forward and that blood pressure drop didn’t happen.

Will be doing more walking throughout today.

Probably should be out of the hospital Friday, maybe today, but probably Friday (we all want to make sure I am able to walk without a walker and pain is managed).

Finally, I got to see how things look, and they look lovely 🥰 #trans #transJoy #euphoria

Is “wha-CHA, BOOBS” an appropriate unit of measurement to give to a surgeon for goals for a BA? 🤔

While in conversation with four trans fems, the topic of fashion came up.

I noted we cover the four styles of trans fem clothing.

• Goth @NicolaElle
• High Fem @Impossible_PhD
• Casual fem @Reborn_Cat_Mom
• Hospital gown @kelidanovus

Been seeing these types of posts lately, and figured I should add another data point.

Came out as #trans and started HRT at 38. Currently 40, with 2.5 years of HRT and one BA since coming out.

It is never too late.

Left is a picture from 2020. Right is today (September 2023).

Busy week with business travel, so quick while I’m doing professional things.

Trying to style it up.

For those that know where I am, no issues at all thus far (except boob pat down and medical dilators getting flagged while going through airport security).

I’m feeling good.

Energy is getting better, but doing things drains me quickly, so lots of resting.

Reclining chairs are the best. So comfy.

I’m doing good, minimal pain, mostly just soreness and being tired after doing things.

A photo of my legs while I’m lying in a reclining chair. I have a black skirt with Darth Vader and lightsabers in white, a banana on my lap 🤪, and purple socks. I am in a living room with other chairs.

Professionally done good hair day declared I think.

How to have a beach body in one step.

Step 1: Take yourself to the beach.

Never thought I would be comfortable doing this. Transition is magic!

Tis one of those evenings, after a long week, where the unshakable feeling strikes…

… that my boobs are too small…

Reborn_Cat_Mom, 7 months ago to trans

I am on my way home today!!!

It feels like such a long time since I was last home. Can’t wait to be home.

Does “ugly crying in work bathroom stall, a stranger asking what is wrong, offers tissues, listens, and compliments my skin when I joke about how it is a good thing I didn’t wear makeup cause it would be ruined” check any transition checkboxes?

Asking for a friend.

The friend is me.

That feeling when you get you blood work results checking estrogen levels, and it immediately prompts you to do a shot over 12 hours early…

Today, started off great. Little one was excited and happy, and enjoyed presents as she opened and played with them one at a time (I know, I was surprised).

Then, a package from family. I won’t say more other than anxiety spiral and an hour walk to clear my head and let my injection of estrogen kick in more.

After a lovely lunch by the wife, little one wanted to go bike riding and attempt taking off training wheels at the local playground. She was so happy and had fun, through she needs more practice.

Anxiety is slowly settling down. It is like a lashing tentacle monster, slapping everything in reach to try to find something to stick. Tools I have been working on are helping to mitigate that.

All in all, despite no snow, it was a good day, even with the package drama. Especially when I was out walking and saw this.

I hope you all are having a good day, and for those that also have drama and situations going on, a big 🫂 for you (if wanted).

I miss Babylon 5.

Watching the Road Home, was comforting. Yet sad.

So many have gone beyond the rim.

It is a good epilogue.

It is a nice cool fall day today, and I need to go to an appointment. Decided it would be a good day for some fall fashion for the first time since last year.

After getting dressed, I figured I should post this PSA for all of you looking to upgrade your boobs 🤣

I may need to go shopping… 😉

At a convention center currently at an event for my child.

This is the same one that I’ve been to before for HRC yearly dinner / gala (I get invited by my job due to some of the LGBTQ+ work I do at the office). I am standing in the same room where the gala took place last year.

During the galas, the bathrooms are proudly listed as gender neutral (one set with a sign saying with urinals, another without).

Now, at this event (dinosaur exhibit), all bathrooms are gendered “ladies” and “gentlemen”.

Guess we only get gender neutral bathrooms when the queers pay for them here 😔. Wonder what the cost is to have gender neutral bathrooms added to an event contract.

Good morning everyone.

Today marks the start of a long holiday weekend for me, one that is hard for many people, myself included.

Give yourself space. Carve out self-care. Lean on friends and chosen family.

I hope you all are doing well.

Damnit.....

Jan Ors partially trans'ed me.

Friday night realization. Carry on.

Edit: Curious if this really dates me / who gets the reference.

Lately I have been feeling so much more comfortable in my body.

That was reflected today when I went to a friends baby shower as myself. It was a great time, though it is wipe me out.

For me, a month ago, I would have not been able to wear this outfit. Now, I love how I look and feel in these outfits.

I am so excited for the future!
