New blog post!

🏳️‍⚧️This post is both intensely personal and surprisingly universal, at least for trans people. It's a must-read for anyone who knows the name "Chara" and how it relates to me, but even if that's not you, it's still a great way to understand the trans experience.

🏳️‍⚧️New blog post! This one has a gallery of photos of my progress, and also I wax philosophical about it, as I am wont to do.

Week 7 of me posting something beautiful each week!
This isn't trans-related, but is instead a music video that I think anyone who's had emotional difficulties can find meaning in, as it always makes me emotional. It's also mesmerizing to my brand of autism for some reason.

(1/3) My experience at the pharmacy yesterday:

Essential post-op 🏳️‍⚧️ HRT pills? Oh, sorry, you can't get a refill yet: those are tightly controlled date-wise, and even though you can come in literally tomorrow and refill, we're not even going to let you try today.

🏳️‍⚧️Had my orchiectomy today! This means that, no matter what ignorant politicians may enact, they ain't shoving those two things back in me!

Now that TikTok got banned/unbanned, I figured I'd pop in to my account I hadn't used in like two years. We'll see if I'm active there or not, but you can follow me there if you want. I posted two things today, and the rest of posts there are super old, so that's fun.

Week 4 of posting something beautiful each week!
Sometimes humor can be beautiful, so to lighten the mood as well as honor everyone's favorite blocked Chinese app, here are a couple of bad/bizarre English translations. I couldn't pick which was my favorite so I posted two:

New blog post! I've been asked enough times about regretting the parts of my transgender transition that are irreversible that I decided to write about it. I hope it helps people understand, or at least stop asking!

🏳️‍⚧️Nothing better shows how much HRT has put me in touch with my emotions far more than I thought possible, yet I'm still passionate about the same things I've always been...than the fact that I just started spontaneously crying upon seeing footage from some DOS game I hadn't thought of in 30 years.

Week 3 of posting something beautiful each week! This week: my new hair!

I'm not saying that *I'm* necessarily the beautiful thing being posted, but the fact that, with this hair I'm that much closer to looking in the mirror and seeing the real me...that in and of itself is beautiful.🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍⚧️New vlog! I used to post these more often during early parts of my trans journey, so this is the first one in several months, and as such is more or less a status update. Take a look!

My new year's resolution for 2025 is to post something I find beautiful every week. I know this'll skew toward my eclectic tastes, but hopefully you'll find the beauty in these things too as the year goes on. First up is this gorgeous music remixed from Mario Galaxy.

This happened! Here's a blog post about it!

I don't use Spotify so I don't have a Wrapped, but I do want to say that, among my top 5 most-played songs of all time on my iTunes/iPod (which is what I still use) is still the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme because I let my nephew listen to it on repeat one day...about ten years ago.

When you make a change, everyone who meets you from that point on only knows the new version of you.

And that's nice.
