Getting rid of testosterone, facial hair, etc, helped immensely with my dysphoria about masculinization. That, plus a lot of thought and experimentation, allowed me to find a gender expression that felt comfortable and simply correct for me.

That all couldn't have happened without my local trans community and the broader movement. Even if my expression didn't shift from one end of a binary to another, it was still a gender transition, and it's important that cases like this be visible.

FWIW, here is that story: I'm AMAB, and have been dysphoric about a lot of traditional male traits for as long as I can remember. For years I was stuck because 'to female' was the only available transition path.

Eventually more became available, and I gave non-binary transition a shot. For me, that actually meant many of the same medical steps as a transfeminine transition, but without the associated social transitions. This was not out of fear, or an unwelcoming environment.

I'm often so-so about proclaming myself as trans; that word in combination with my queer+masc presentation can sorta give the wrong idea about my story. Today, though, I'm here to remind folks that trans includes many different paths and approaches, and they're all valid. #TransDayOfVisibility

Oh right, not only did Elanna draw Hagalaz last week, we also have some Mercury Retrograde going on. That'd explain quite a bit of the bad I've had the last few days. -.-

*eagerly awaits to see what the runemistress draws this week*

Used the office phone-booth room for an impromptu divination session. Seemed appropriate. :D

Also, stepped out on the balcony beforehand and gave an offering of some of my lunch into a flowerbed too, because reciprocity is important. ^.^

Dream last night: I was the first Selonian in Starfleet. 💜 to my subconscious for being an enormous furry nerd.

Well that was certainly a Result.

I have had a dramatic increase in lovely cuddling and makeouts and such lately in my life. I think I may need to add a @makyo style "squish zone" to my polycule map. ;)

Still glowy from the ritual and cuddling last night, despite work doing its best to dampen it.

Also had an excellent dream abut Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that was great too. :D

OMGs, such a good equinox rite tonight. Thank you so much to everyone who came, and may you all find your balance and support where you need it. 💜🌊🌟

I acknowledge that 'all of the above' is a good answer. ;) (also maybe that's what number 3 means already. ;))

Okay so I've basically laid in bed all day after deciding need an extra day off work and could probably get away with it.

Not sure if it's because:
1) I really needed more rest?
2) executive function is hard?
3) I'm a plushie?

Trying to find wording to explain days off for seasonal ritual stuff is... fun. I think I've ended up saying "family event" and keeping the long explanation in my back pocket for any challenges (which I haven't gotten so far)

AAAA I'M SO HAPPY.

Cute boys smooching yes yes yes

👍👍👍 💯💯💯​

I had a lot of fun and it was surprisingly and wonderfully social for the short time I was here and I should probably try to go for more than just one full day next year.

VancouFur dance pics! (Oh yeah, I'm at a con BTW)

*surveys the last few weeks of chat logs, as social connections have been picking up*

I'm thinking I need to start putting 'not good at small talk' in my intro posts to things. ;)
