Yay, good for you!

I didn’t realize it until I started transitioning, but self-expression is so important to good mental health.

Mine’s in a little under a month, so the only thing I can say at this point is keep yourself busy and the time will pass before you know it. If you’re anything like me you might start to worry that you stop feeling a sense of urgency about it (do I really want this?), but I think that’s probably pretty normal.

Are you on top of hair removal? I know every surgeon has different guidelines, but mine has said it’s not necessary and I’m pretty sure that’s bullshit. Got my last (downstairs) session this week.

It’s a yukata, a kind of light summer clothing that people wear to festivals and so on, a kind of kimono.

My makeup is very light here: foundation / powder, a bit of eye shadow, mascara and cheek, and that’s it.

I think your outfit looked great. Honestly it suits you and presents really feminine energy. Glad to hear you’re looking to the future <3

I don’t know how happy you’ll be to hear this, but I think you look a lot like Ashley Gavin (I mean it in a good way, honest)

I’d heard of trans people, knew most of the details about medical transition and deeply wished that could have been me, if only I was trans and not just a pervert who liked girls so much I wanted to be one.

I figured it out eventually.

The key to maintaining a conversation with allistic people is to realize they are expecting you to ask questions. So put on your “I’m interested” face, smile, and repeat something they said as a question.

For example:

Them: I went skiing last weekend.
You: Skiing? Cool! Who did you go with?

Etcetera etcetera.

But to be honest after a drink or two I usually get tired and return to my usual mode of talking about a related experience I had.

Yeah that sounds fun :3 But don’t let it stop you posting the rest of the year too!

It really was nice to see everyone, especially those posting for the first time <3

Yay! That’s a really lovely top. Knitted stuff is so cozy. And that shirt… mmm! :3

Now that is what I call a Kubrick stare. Awesome 😎

It’s always selfie day somewhere! And there you are <3

“And I said: promise?”

I went through a very confusing “yay, someone else in Japan! … zoom in … Waaait a minute”

Wow, thanks and congratulations for coming out! I have a lot of fun doing my nails too.

I hope you stick around and feel better.

Woah, you look amazing!

I thought you were in Scotland for a moment looking at the thumbnail. What a nice spot for a picture!

Hooray! I am pleased to see your face :3

Apparently? I’m happy to see pretty women any day though <3

Yeah it is! What a cute shot <3

Haha, I see what you mean about the overalls! And what a backdrop 🏳️‍⚧️

Super stylish!
