Wanted to repost this with dates scribbled on, to give folks an idea of how long I have been changing myself.

...or as my deeply hilarious transmasc nephew put it, "Okay, fuckin' Gender Frieza!"

I can't wait to see what my golden form is like, eventually.

A collage of the different forms the trans woman in the center has taken over her life.

Panel 1: Standing in a bathroom. Is heavyset with mustache and goatee combo, wearing a red and gold floral print shirt. Has a small smile. 10/2020

Panel 2: extremely underweight and naked, with no facial or body hair, with a NOPE sign scribbled over the chest. Looks a little glum. 10/2011

Panel 3: topless and fairly muscular build, with visible. A little stubble, and some chest hair, too. Has 😱 on each nipple. Is kind of smirking. 12/2015

Panel 4: finally clothed again, now with a flannel shirt tucked into belted slacks. Has grown a neatly trimmed beard and is giving drag king energy. Expression is fairly neutral. 11/2017

Panel 5: the build has regressed to a less muscular one, and has patchy stubble and greasy hair, while giving a double thumbs up gesture in a garage gym, while wearing a red tank top and baggy black shorts. Is giving smiling through a disaster. 10/2021

Panel 6: taken in the same bathroom as panel 1, is clean shaven again. Build still looks a little soft, but hair has grown some since panel 5. Is wearing a rust colored tshirt and dark shorts. Small smile very much like panel 1. 02/2022

Panel 7: she is standing in the same bathroom as panel 1 and 6. She looks maybe like she could be panel 4's sister, and is wearing a brown camisole and blue jeans, with a happy smile on her face. 12/2024

probably not helping that

a section of partially see-through fabric in a blend of chiffon and paisley pattern velvet

a freshly shaven and still slightly damp woman with her hair clipped up because today wasn't a hair wash day. She's standing slightly awkwardly wearing a soft grin and an even softer velvet robe/poncho garment where little bits of her pale skin peek out between the paisley pattern

For me I love the feeling of fabrics on my smooth skin
kind of a stim for me, I think

Especially the little chiffon/velvet throwover thing I bought a couple of from torrid when a friend gifted me torrid cash lol

Bath is my biggest grounding activity
Singing is another one for me 🥰

the time spent defuzzing my body is a hassle, though

many extractions when we finally got dental care... in 2019
eventually maybe I can have replacement chompers 🥺

there's a bunch of stuff to do here to mitigate the flood of junk from the MIL mines
but for now, chatting with you and shaving my fuzz in the bath is winning out 🤭

Yup
literally a cursed bloodline lmao
a rare bleeding disorder that is typically recessive is dominant for most of our women.

Ooh oof on that one. We got doctors, but dentistry was a lmao nope because costs

We have a lot of bipolar/bpd/autism/adhd in my line, plus von willabrands

Impulse control issues are why I do not allow myself to play CCG anymore. Too competitiv, and too eager to amass all the cards to make and break metas 💀

My brain running a process to determine the plausibility of assigning regions of the bottom lip to different sources

Yeah... I was definitely very normal about the Borg Queen being extremely hot, and also grafting flesh onto Data to arouse and corrupt him 😳👉👈

Oh yeah, in that respect absolutely
I think it only got along for so long because Cawthon doesn't post gleefully about the funding evil initiatives

Would be cool if people could maybe stop giving money to things that hate us

in FNAFs defense, it's less racist, sexist, and fatphobic than Joanne's works

Many will deny it, of course.
"I don't believe in labels" okay, but also you had a total retching meltdown because the ice from the dispenser wasn't the texture you wanted, followed by info dumping about the challah you braided and baked

You may want to be gentler with the left side of your bottom lip 😏

I was basically out of commission for a couple of days while I grappled with the feelings and tried to process the source. Deeply repressed dysphoria is a fuck. Not to mention all the IRL pressures against doing it, which included my wife for the longest time.

Now I'm 18-24 months out. 🥹

I microdose on fixing myself via hot bath daily 🥹
Bath so good

Yeah back in February someone has posted their healed bottom surgery results in hot fishnets and it caused a crashout where I realized that I needed it. 🥺👉👈

It was the most dysphoric I had ever actively felt, and I had been operating on the assumption I was indifferent to downstairs.

He's so weird about it, too
Every time I inquire he goes "Uh I'm gonna pull them out and set up a gaming station in a man ave"

Weirdly our house didn't have any fighting games Parents thought they were too violent, and also the but hurt of getting your ass beat by someone in the room was unhealthy
