Caught between “haha, get fucked fascists” and the reminder that simply using a restroom risks violence.

Walked into the cabin.

“Hey, Deadname!”

Fucking fuck why did I think this was a good idea.

Allowing myself to cry, to actually break down and just just sob for as long as tears keep coming, is something I haven’t allowed myself to do since childhood, when I was told it was just attention seeking behavior.

A good cry, especially tears of grief, is very healing. It’s not easy. It’s not fun. But it is healing.

Winning girlmode because my leggings, dress, and cardigan all have pockets.

I don’t ask all of these every time but this is a list of questions I like to ask hiring panels during interviews.

I’ve been told I ask great questions multiple times, so sharing here in case you want to steal some.

A trans woman experiencing gender euphoria over a gender role you personally associate with Patriarchy or sexism is a you problem, not her problem.

Just got invited to first round interview for the Coordinator of Transgender Student Support role I applied for. 💜

Society: You must cover your genitals at all times but wear clothes that represent your genitals because while you’re not supposed to think about other people’s genitals I get very uncomfortable when I can’t tell what genitals other people have.

Genitals.

I need a new hobby. Something I can do on the couch.

Well my uncle randomly came by for coffee and I decided to come out to him. First thing he asked was if I'm getting surgery. He also said “Jade” sounds like an “exotic dancer” name and I should have picked “Jane” instead.

I kinda don't even have feelings about this, because it's what I expected anyway.

I'm tired.

Got a prescription from my voice coach to play a TTRPG for voice practice.

Doctors appointment today. I’ve only had my hormones checked once since starting HRT in March, back in July, so very curious to see where I’m at. 6 months is too long, going to try to check in every 3 from now on.

8 people I've played RPGs with in the last 3 years also came out as trans in the last 3 years. 🤔

Any other nerds excited about Bear 2.0’s release today? It’s been my notes app of choice for years. I’ve tried Obsidian and Logseq but nothing has come close to the UI/UX of Bear.

If “self care” doesn’t feel right to you, try “system maintenance” instead.

My therapist had to cancel this afternoon so I’ve picked three relatable mental health memes to share with y’all instead.

Fellow folks:

  1. Stop gatekeeping identity
  2. Being inclusive is worthwhile

A large part of the reason it took me 10+ years to come out as trans, despite my social circles being almost entirely queer: implicit transphobia from cis gay men and being denied access to a transfem support group for not expressing femme enough.

That cishet boy sitting alone in the corner might be gay. She might be trans.

Inclusion is always better than exclusion. Let’s stand up for each other. 💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m coming to understand my transition not just being my expression, but also my identity. I think of my whole life as being my transition, with multiple steps.

For instance I don’t want to remove my past self’s autonomy by saying I’ve actually always been X. I identified as and called myself a cis man, so I was. I was a cis man who wanted to be a woman. To remove that part of my journey feels inauthentic and I could say it was trauma but that’s a dangerous road to go down. ⬇️

Hair extensions is the best thing I’ve done for myself since starting HRT. Talk about a transformation!

So. Fucking. Pumped. 💜💜💜

Does anyone have tips for iOS settings?

Specifically looking to listen to how my content is heard by those using voice over and audio description features.

Be the most authentic version of yourself you can be. Do it without shame. And fuck the haters.
