As someone who has "You waited too long!" blaring on constant repeat in the back of her mind, the replies to this post were just what I needed.

If you have transitioned later in life, please know how deeply you are needed here. Your story is the exact proof someone else needs to finally take their first step.

a fun part of transitioning that they don't tell you enough about ahead of time is that you get to PAY someone to STICK ZAPPY NEEDLES in your FACE

Thinking about building a transfem anthems playlist and need recs. What songs feel like your transition, your empowerment, your euphoria, whatever "anthem" means to you right now? No wrong answers, I want to hear everything 🎵

oh god what have I done. just hit me that I started hormones two weeks before I drop my daughter off at college. was already going to be a wreck, now it's perfectly timed for ALL THE FEELS

CHRISTMAS IN JULY, Y'ALL

"I'm sorry, SIR, we don't stock estradiol, you'll have to try another pharmacy" was not the phone call I needed this afternoon 😞

confirmed hrt appointment tomorrow afternoon! baby's first steps into the unknown. now I'm going to spend the next 18hrs flipping between thrilled and terrified, no in-between

went to see The Odyssey tonight (it was good! it was looong!), after was my first time using a public restroom since deciding to transition. completely froze in the fork between the doors. all I could think about was not being able to use either one in a year. am I really going to do this to myself?

A friend pointed me to this insightful essay from @impossiblephd.bsky.social and it explained so much about why certain of my… uh… needs have felt much less urgent since I started self-accepting. Maybe everyone else got here before me, but reposting for whoever's behind me on the same road.

No, it isn't just a fetish

Haven't had to build a social network from zero in 17 years. New account, new name, new everything, honestly no idea what I'm doing yet. Say hi?
