A 37 year-old transsexual demisexual socialist who outlifts your shitty conservative uncle. I just want to lift weights, read transbian romance, and exist within cuddling range of the people who care about me. 2 dogs. Fitness coach. Maybe writer?

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

I did a lot of attempting to contain them as a masc
Not always successful, as I have always had big feelings
Now they just fucking GO

Hey, question: if conservatives are afraid of protesting because there are anti-fascists there, what does that mean about the conservatives?

Brooke-coded characters
I contain multitudes.

Striga, from Castlevania.
An absolute brick house of a muscle mommy. Her pale grey skin is contrasted by her emerald green eyes and black hair. She is wearing a blue cloak, with a raven-themed shoulder guard.

Morana, from Castlevania.
She's immortal nobility and grace. Vivid blue eyeshadow accents her pale lavender eyes and soft brown fleshtone. Her earrings, admittedly, resemble golden bullocks.

She is wearing a blue and yellow tunic with a white ruffled collar, and holding a gold chalice with blood in it.

Carmilla, from Castlevania.
She is trauma, turned to rage. Her pale skin and white hair are stained with a lot of blood, most of which is not her own. Her pale blue irises shine out of the whites, which are also red with blood.

She is wearing a red gown with gold accents, and holds a blood red dagger aloft

Lenore, from castlevania.
She's a kinder soul, and brandishes a blackberry to share with a puppy.

Her reddish-brown eyes and a little mascara offer some contrast against her slightly flushed skin. She has very wavy dark orange hair, and is wearing a white fur cape with a silver clasp.

In today's 'lernding with linux' I became aware it isn't always a good idea to tack on a "--syncdeps" when making a package. I did it while trying to make Zen browser and now I appear to be downloading new versions of literally every firefox dependency ever conceived.

I think it's the bottom lip that gives more my mother than myself; she has a slightly hulled bottom lip than I do.

A very tired staring ahead selfie of myself in a fuzzy partially transparent robe. My dark and wavy hair is pulled back kind of flatly into a ponytail, and my eyeshadow game is festive and sparkly

So I forgot to back up my saves on steam before beginning the Linux project, so that meant I had to restart Monster Hunter Wilds. I must have done an okay job at matching my face in game to my own, because I had a moment of "Oh hey my mother is in the game" 💀

TWO LIFTSPOSTINGS IN ONE DAY?!
I found my video editing juice, plus olympic weightlifting work a fun
I meant what I said about Hot Goblin, but also I learned about She Calls Me Daddy, so there may be some variety this week

Oh good, Bluesky doesn't want us to know they're following ghouls, bigots, and grifters.

Where did those bodies come from?

This wasn't originally your own body.

A meme. There’s a skull at the top, followed by the words ‘WRITE A HORROR STORY IN SIX WORDS OR LESS’
