Nothing like having some idiot snottily misgender me in Seattle’s Capital Hill neighborhood
Tabi and I had our nine-year "dateaversary" last night. One of the things she commented on over dinner was that she prefers the happy wife she now has to the sad boyfriend and husband she used to have. And that if she had any idea of what was going on, she would have "dolled me up" earlier.
Overheard at one of the UW dining halls while I was at work:
I always tend to get a giggle out of Glynn Stewart's @glynnstewart.com tendency to make references to other authors in their books. But I LOVED the reference in "Spirit Blade" to Kara Buchanan's @magicariot.com "Magica Riot" series. 😍
Three years now. Three years since I reopened this door and started this journey. Three years since I became myself. Three years since the alchemy of HRT worked it's magic on my body and soul. And I continue to grow into who I am. A wife, a girlfriend, a partner, a geologist, a woman.
Three years since the beautiful alchemy of HRT started to weave it's subtle and powerful effects upon a mind and body that were more than welcoming of it. The only regret I have is that I didn't start sooner.
Part of what I've been doing the last two weeks has been taking old equipment, cataloging it, and placing it into a storeroom in the garage area until college surplus takes it from us to sell. I supposed it says how Dorley Pilled I've gotten that I've been recording this process as "basementing"
"Realistic trans porn: It's just two girls trauma dumping over coffee and a trip to the good thrift store."
I absolutely think cis people should be able to access gender affirmative care. They just need two letters from a therapist, one from their primary care physician, and maybe two from transgender friends that have explained the risks and side effects to them.
I'm surprised he didn't take home part of the ship as a keepsake....
THIS FUCKER DID *WHAT??* THAT IS A WAR GRAVE!
My wife Tabi said something interesting to me this morning. She said that watching me claim my womanhood and absolutely revel in it has given her an appreciation for hers she thinks she would have never had otherwise.
This! 110% this. Absolutely and completely this. And you end up still being unable to cry properly because, again, what would be the point?
male socialisation is when they hold you down and [cut footage of trans girl’s entire childhood and teen years] and after a while you stop even crying because what would be the point

Give that questioning friend a makeover today!! After all, you're supposed to decorate eggs.....
So I have had two in-person interviews with the same company. I'm keeping fingers crossed, because this is looking....hopeful
One month after phase two of my FFS. Still a bit lumpy under the chin
"Sisters of Dorley, Book 57: The year is 2102. A group of brave trans women explorers set off to execute the Lambert Project, a bold, daring attempt to forcefem Mars itself."
I'm wondering if the voting control aspects of the so-called "Save America" act were so toxic and unpopular that the white house felt they had to staple gun the completely unrelated anti-trans bullshit to it after the fact to try and get more support.
2 weeks past the 2nd and final phase of my FFS. I look like a lumpy puffy squirrel from the buccal fat removal & SMAS lift. Some seepage around my ears and I have more time with the chin bra. But I’m starting to see faint traces of it meshing together with the earlier bone work. I’m not unhappy
For someone five days out from phase two of FFS (and who REALLY wants to wash her hair), I don't look too bad. Nor do I look too bad for someone who just turned 60 today.
Took my chin bra off for a bit. Not too bad for 48 hours after surgery
I had the second and final phase of my Facial Feminization Surgery today. Home resting now.
Yeah, finding out the rich chaser cabal is.....real, kinda fucks with your head.
Realising that the world is literally being destroyed by the evil fucks in the Sisters of Dorley is doing my head in a bit, ngl.
Trevor the kitten apparently wants to be a cheerleader.
The picture on the left is An Tir 12th Night, 2024. 6 months on HRT. On the right, An Tir 12th Night, 2026, 30 months on HRT. Yes, I've lost weight and had phase one of my FFS. But dear sweet Goddess the DIFFERENCES between then and now. It's amazing
Los Angeles, CA - Bit of a false alarm; crowd isn’t marching yet though they are assembled in the street currently. Making speeches still.
@impossiblephd.bsky.social Having successfully defended my Master's thesis and had it approved, there was an acknowledgement in that thesis I wanted to share with you.
My thesis was finalized, approved, and submitted yesterday. I just got word it was approved by the Graduate School dean. Now waiting for the formatting editors to finish their report
