I ASKED HER HOW SHE KNOWS AND SHE JUST GAVE ME THIS LITTLE SMILE
You're a mensch Jenny.
Me, muttering to myself as I look at a Torrid order: Oh, this is so cute, but I don't have the tits for it... Her, not looking up: You will. Me: 🥺
Also relevant: There's so much more to femme voice than *pitch*
It's gonna suuuuuuuck
That's the bit which absolutely infuriates me.
Wish me luck. I take like three prescriptions and two OTC for allergies and starting Thursday I have to stop all of them for a week ahead of an allergist appointment.
"The US comics market doesn’t even want to make a new Batman." Of course not. The US comics market clearly wants to make a queer trans alien superheroine with talking dog sidekick.
Awwww, congratulations!!! I don't know you, but my wife and I were *also* married on Halloween ☺️
I'm so glad, I was going to suggest y'all try using email for this kind of thing 😅
That light belt with that dress was a smart move
I had heard the Greens and Lineham news! And of course Starmer is being an asshat.
I missed good news?
Fuckit. You can transition in your 40s, it is authoritatively amazing
If I'd been in skirts back then I'd call it even odds on whether I'd have been a plaid and checks punk girl or a grungy goth chick. Alas, for what could have been.
I got into ska back in the 90s. Had a friend in a local punk/ska group who did a reunion show I got to go to in 2019. I helped a mutual of ours make the album art for their one cassette release 💜
Oh no. Indy was also a ska kid?
I SEEM TO BE SPEEDRUNNING HER 'YOUNG AND HOT' PHASE RIGHT NOW, IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING 🤣
Drop an old person you are going to turn into in the future
That was Tuesday last week for me. Hope tomorrow's easier Nora. 💜
I showed my friend who I got coffee with Saturday That Picture and tried to unpack how it made me feel and she helped me get to where I was able to admit I hadn't felt pretty or really seen myself as attractive until the last few months. So yeah that's new, and neat, and still thoroughly bizarre.
Well you word good Tilly.
Speaking of, today was shot day, which means I get ice cream ✨😋🍨
I say almost *exactly* that during my Internet & Web Basics classes at the library 😂
I understood what you meant chellam 💜
Love you chellakutti 💜
I'm a big fan of allowing ourselves to be angry, to mourn, to feel those feelings. So long as we don't let those feelings *stop* us. 💜
I've been considering renaming Lefty & Righty. I'm thinking Cheese & Nutella are just as accurate.
Uuuuuggggghhhhh yes. The absolute worst.
These days I'm more about *acquiring* specific fat deposits ☺️
I don't even *know* Wynd 🤣 But then I haven't even done 7.3 MSQ yet. Right now I'm waiting on that promised cap increase on housing items 🤞
Jadzia’s is another must-sub imo!!
Of course, classic misdirection 🤘
As the fae trickster in my marriage, I salute your spouse 🤘
Stella, I sincerely hope you keep offering these thoughts/reflections as your playthrough continues, because they are absolutely delightful. (also I got an amazing purse from the Kate Spade outlet and you did this to me)
Exactly. My beard and moustache had sooo much grey and white in then 🤣 Means electrolysis will be inevitable, but it does mean my beard shadow isn't too bad in the meantime
Would've looked like Berronar Truesilver herself, I'll tell you that 😤 (If a bit on the tall side 🤣)
HA! Yeah, I hadn't been carded in nearly twenty years, but I'll be damned if it didn't happen the day I got my hair dyed 🤣
Something I tell all my friends and co-workers in their 20s and 30s nearly every week 🤣 Moisturizer AM/PM, and sunscreen in the morning, at the bare minimum! 👏
Honestly, my skin was already pretty amazing even before E 🤷♀️ A dedicated skincare regimen was a very early gender cope (though I hadn't started it yet in the 'before' picture there)
Also, for the record, I was not 21 in that picture.
I have quite enough hobbies, thank you, especially with the small human still running around causing havoc 🤣
I'm just saying that I wish I could've seen what estrogen did to it, and then had the chance to turn all the tricks I've used on the hair I've kept (and regained) to my beard. Because I'm confident I would've been a very specific kind of beautiful.
Thanks! I bought a lovely rose quartz and black hematite bracelet shortly after coming out, and when it broke about 9 months later my efforts to fix it became a new hobby 🤣 I've made... a lot of bracelets at this point.
THANCRED HAHAHA OH MY GOD
I've been making my own pride bracelets (and plan to do necklaces as well, eventually) but I bet those make the best little jangle noises when you move your head.
Thank you~ Those are *great*
Wait wait wait. Where are those earrings from?
A different woman would demur, but I'm just going to smile in pleasure if that's alright. Thank you, you're both very sweet.
Silver-grey on black brocade and you're mad if you think I'm not hoping to find some way to repurpose it 🥰
Thank you Jenni I have some understanding of the mechanisms which allowed this to happen But how this is the *result* of those mechanisms remains utterly baffling to me
My 'after' picture is the one I mentioned here, btw ☺️ Taken approximately 15 months on HRT.
Thanks Ces 🥰
Fuckit. You can transition in your 40s, it is authoritatively amazing
I got this one when it was super bonus on sale (and thus below $50), but it's likely too large for a back pocket. www.katespadeoutlet.com/products/mad...
I bought this thing *very* early in transition, and it is *not* the size I would have gotten if I had more information available at the time (it's too big) but it *is* covered with estradiol molecules.
Some days you just got to check your tire pressure in a miniskirt (I'm wearing clearly visible shorts that go down to just above my knees beneath them)
Yessss thank you so much for logging on to help 💜 I have to get some chores done around the house this afternoon and then I'll likely be back at it. You should pop over to Faerie and see the company house 😁
Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
She did it to a lot of us, yes. 🤣
Shep, what do you have to say about the Walmart gendered pay discrimination suit?
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
Gimme time Kathryn, should be getting surgeon referrals in the next couple weeks.
That was twice (two times!) I RPed on FFXIV this weekend! And I even did some MSQ on the alt I play with my wife, and worked some more on getting the venue I run reassembled in the new company house 😤 On top of a lot of chores around the house and a 'spa day' Saturday. Amazing holiday weekend!
Really, the magic of a holiday like this is being able to wake up but not get out of bed.
Really happy to be able to say that every reply on this picture (so far) is a mutual. You're not alone, Emily.
I got to RP with my wife, taking out characters out on a cute dessert date and it was adorable but now I want to take @gosmrwngz.bsky.social out on a meatspace dessert date. Ah well, at least we shared a couple spoonfuls of nutella tonight 🤣
Horrible times. Decent shaving gel on sale at CostCo right now
Can you... put it on the grocery list to get a different one?
Thank you! 🥰 I'm the beneficiary of a lot of practice, a lot of luck, and a lot of estrogen ☺️
You're so cool Bre! Cannot wait for DOG KNIGHT 2!
The trick is to avoid the sun and dip your whole face in retinol most nights.
Eeeeyyyyyyyyy Also dying a little as you were born the same year as my little brother 😭
I am dying at 'Ozymandiette'
Jen I did that five minutes ago
You want the copy/paste?
Good *gracious* this is a tasty drink, my goodness 🤣
Lightning Swords of Death #chidrinks Another entirely @lilyazneval.bsky.social's fault It's amazing how the sweetness of the apricot, the orgeat, and the brown sugar syrup is balanced by the funkiness of the rum and the bitterness of the Malört (the Malört only comes out on the finish)
I cannot wait for the next volume to come out
SO GOOD BROOKE
FUS-RO-D'AWWWWWWW
If there's any Galaxy cosplay at DragonCon you have to tell me.
Cosplay orgy
Which reminds me we need to carve out time for a video chat where you aren't demonstrating how to jab yourself with a needle one of these days 🥰
You know I'm fond of your name chellakutti 💜🩷
I mean it has lots of dimensions. They're just somehow all in the direction of burnt tire 🤣
Charteuse is so delicate and flavorful (green is even sweet to my taste) And Malort is *not* 🤣
Oh, I bet that would be neat.
*Thank* you
Eyeshadow is magic Jen
I wasn't Online during the rise and fall of tumblr 🤣
Right? Shaking your hand, other member of 'Trans Woman With A Cool And Unique Name' 🤝

It is a very good book.
One of the downsides about being coy over my actual name is I can't take part in those 'What does your name mean' posts. Which is a shame because my name is fucking rad.
The hair that's been growing since I began hitting my scalp with every prescription hair treatment I could get has mostly been Quite Blonde and I'm trying very hard not to take this as a sign.
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo...
Mischa my replies are like 78% nice by volume 🤣
