If you want to be a girl you can be a girl.

If you want to be a dude you can be a dude.

If you want to be neither you can be neither.

You’re allowed. Fuck anybody who tries to tell you otherwise.

“Most changes are done after the first 1-2 years.”

Uh huh. Tell me another.

There is no feeling quite so wild as pushing to production after hours and then immediately clocking out for PTO.

People watching at Disney World has taught me one thing on the very first day: my hair is not nearly gay enough.

When you find your people hold on to them like your life depends on it. Because it very well might.

Early is a procession of profoundly uncomfortable experiences. Every step, no matter how small, feels laden with terrible consequence.

The first times I went out in public presenting as myself I had to fight a nearly overwhelming urge to run home and hide. My imagination was on overdrive conjuring up nightmare scenarios. It was terrifying.

But we power through. We find reserves of strength we didn’t know we had, and it gets better.

Keep the faith. You’ll get where you need to be.

Modern computers: connecting us in a globe encircling mesh of high speed communications enabling heretofore unimaginable leaps in productivity, entertainment, and commerce.

Also modern computers: wasting 3 days of my time with cryptic error messages because I used a dash instead of an underscore.

A tale of four Thanksgiving’s with more to be thankful for with each passing year. Finally starting to feel like I’m getting the hang of this thing.

Dysphoria often has little to nothing to do with our actual appearance. It’s a warped self-perception filter, and it’s entirely possible to intellectually know you look great while simultaneously fighting desperately against a part of the brain that insists you are everything you’ve always feared.

Words for the year ahead borrowed from one long since passed…

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater…

Do not trouble your hearts overmuch with thought of the road tonight. Maybe the paths that you each shall tread are already laid before your feet, though you do not see them.”

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Living as yourself is not selfish. It’s a fundamental need. Damn anyone who would try to deny you that.

Trans women early in your transitions: when you look in the mirror consider that you’re seeing the equivalent of a 10-12 year old cis girl. Give yourself all the time and grace to grow up that you would naturally afford her. Judging yourself against grown women is cruel and unfair.

People like to give folks shit for going overboard with their gender exploration, but I’d argue that we’re owed. Every day, month, and year that we hid away in the closet the universe accrued a debt to us. Time to pay up. Compound interest is a bitch.

And now so am I… 😘

Every morning I look into the bathroom mirror and find a girl looking back at me. It’s somehow wildly surprising and the most natural thing in the world all at once.

Every morning that I get up and see Her in the mirror is a gift. It’s never too late.

Learned from a Jewish friend yesterday that there’s an argument to be made that what was taken from Adam to make Eve is not accurately translated as a “rib”, but rather “side” or “aspect”.

So that would mean God took the feminine from Adam to make Eve, leaving behind the masculine.

Working backwards then, if Adam was originally made in the image of God and encompassed both masculine and feminine, God is enby, and by embracing both we can draw nearer to the divine.

Weird HRT question: does anyone else have less eyelid crease? I feel like I have slightly more lip and slightly less eyelid crease than last summer.

@Willow Oh yeah and it gets even better with time. I submit exhibit A for the court’s consideration. HRT is bonkers.
