The rain came back but ima still wear my dresses!

Im sorry to hear about the comrades who dont get to be their true selves this week, i hate to see it

Ill girlmode for you! This dress is actually pretty special to me. Its my first ever dress i got after coming out to my wife! She bought it for me and i loved it 5 years ago and i love it now!!

Excuse my mess and dirty mirror, im not gonna clean it 😂

Anyone else have special clothes like this?

finally got the tits for it yay

It started getting a bit difficult posting here because my old username, Tuuktuuk, is based on my official name that is slowly fading away, and the temporary username I invented to get started here, Egghead, no longer properly fit me either. So, I just became unable to post or comment anything at all in the Forumverse because the nicknames didn't feel "mine".

But this one really makes me happy. Before I was born, my mother still knew I'm a girl, and named me Linda, which then was changed to another name right after I was born.

So, I took that given name as a base. It has several concurrent etymologies, but one of them is the linden tree. It symbolizes softness and caring, and those have always been adjectives people have used for describing my personality. Linden in my native language, Finnish, is lehmus. But, in many Indo-European languages -us is a masculine suffix.

But then: added an a to feminize it a bit. Made the u longer to include the word "muusa", which is Finnish for muse, the goddess things from Greek mythology. And then Lehmuusa also sounds like a Finnish dialect reference, and it can be understood as meaning either "linden-y" or also "kinda cow-like" (from lehmä = cow), which is kind of a bonkers way to refer to a fine lady, but I have always had a very absurd sense of humour. Happy to be a little bit of a cow! Also, I'm very good in emulating mooing sounds of a cow, so it fits. Plus, there's also "muu", which is how you write "moo" in Finnish.

Also, an earlier nickname I had used for about two decades had been a reference to me being good in quacking like a duck, so the mooing, also an animal sound, connects to my past.

And then, I studied Latvian philology as my main subject for a long time before I changed professions, and the linden tree has importance in the Latvian folklore, as a symbol of feminity. And Latvian language and culture have become important parts of my identity even though I have no Latvian roots.

Then, I also lived in Germany for some years when I grew adult. My German was good enough that people confused me for a native speaker. And Lehm is German for "clay", and I like clay as a material. And it connects to my past in Germany.

And of course, I just really love trees and forests!

This is by far the best nickname I've ever had anywhere. Feels mine! 🌳💚♀️🐮🇫🇮🇬🇷🇩🇪🇱🇻🫖

Hey everyone, been a while. Honestly just been a tough week and really not feeling myself but i neeed to interact with all you wonderful people! Our weather turned to rain that might be contributing lol

Hows everyones weekend going?!

It's something I had to make this morning. It's been only since around Monday-Tuesday midnight that I've known I'm trans, and since Wednesday that I've understood I'm transfem. And there's still much to do before I will have grown into a woman. Female clearly yes, but when I opened to metaphorical container for my gender identity to let whatever flow out that might come out of, it all that I noticed was the inside walls were, very surprisingly, all pink, and that the container was ... empty. It'll take time for its contents to accumulate, but I am finding them laying around, here and there. For now I am still non-binary. Not so much about feeling imposter to others, but not yet completely really able to grasp a womanhood. But, I'm floating that way much faster than I would have expected.

Here's something about parts of womanhood I've found this morning:
All my pants are jeans. I've got like 10 pairs of blue jeans, and that's it. (That's how men often are.) Went to grab for clean jeans. And couldn't get myself to wear them.
So... Another closet has bedsheets. I like the grayish green colour of one of my duvet covers. And its material is a bit funny – kind of stretchy and nicely soft. I managed to fold the duvet cover into a reasonably passable skirt. It's not a piece of designer clothing, it's not perfectly fitting and it's definitely not perfectly beautiful: you can see it's more like a placeholder for a real skirt than an actual skirt, but it does its main job of empowering me very well, and it's the best I have. Until I go shopping for a real skirt this evening💃

Some hours of having worn this skirt, and I took a pen and a piece of scrap paper. I said a name out loud. And then I scribbled it with as beautiful cursive letters as I could. It felt weird writing that name, as it's always been more of a joke, a funny thing from a story. A story about how my mother somehow assumed she was expecting a baby girl, and had a name for her daughter. And then, much later during the pregnancy, she suddenly understood that she might actually get a male child. And then she invented a new name for me, that I've been using all the time since this week. The name didn't first look very good. The d got all wrong, but then scribbling again atop the word, it started looking better. Now I've been glancing at it in front of my computer screen every now and then when doing things online, and it's starting to feel familiar. I know people with that name, and they are absolutely unlike me, so the name doesn't really feel like my own. But it's the one my mother gave me, and there are reasons that are compelling enough to change it for something else, so that's what I'm going to go with. And when I was coming out to my parents about this slight teeny-weeny change in my identity I've had on the Monday night, and mentioned that I believe I was born with female as my internal gender, she suddenly got tears in her eyes and blurped out that same name I had already figured is going to be my name one day. And I said "Yup." An agreement was made without really saying anything.

This is not my name yet. It's definitely going to be my name in the future. Maybe I'll feel friends with it already tonight, maybe in a week, maybe in a year. We will see. That's why you need to click here to see it. I do not have a deadname. I have a name that is on palliative care, being made comfortable during the last moments of its life, as its life force is seeping away. I am very very happy there's another name that is able to absorb that other name's life force.

Anyway, Tueday I was extremely euphoric all day long. Butterflies in my belly and all. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were all-in-all very nice, nicer than anything I had had for years. But now I'm having something closer to last Tuesday again!

This is my outfit for the bar tonight. It’s my first time wearing a dress out!

Rocking a very Avril look today, love this skirt! I wasn't sure what footwear I could girlmode in with out spending a ton until I remembered I have Doc Martin's from when I was 15 and was trying to pull off a punk rock look.

Got some new fat laces for them, my favorite color combo purple and white on one and trans pride on the other. Just need to cut them to length, got them long since I had no idea how long they needed with the layering. Have multiple pairs of each so I can switch to anyone color or combo.

Hope all you lovely ladies are having a splendid day!

Felt cute last night in my new matching skirt and socks!

♡♡♡Nissa♡♡♡

hope you got reasons to smile ✨

I think I did alright, I think I projected a sort of futuristic elegance.

Realized something awesome this morning. After girlmoding off and on all weekend, the wife and I took a mental health day yesterday. She needed some boy mode time with me to help sort through our feelings. We were also hella wrecked from all the easter socializing.

Anywho, as I've said before I work in the trades around mostly straight right-wing men. You know the funniest thing about straight right-wing men? They are the gayest mother fuckers on the planet. I squeezed past a guy in the shit shack durring morning huddle and he said 'oh so you don't want to cuddle with me?' Which I replied ' No, I just want to hold you from behind' 'okay, you can be the big spoon'

Later on the guys were signing up for softball and were pressing me to join. I'm really not a sports girl, so I told them I'd just be their cheerleader. 'I already have a cheerleader, it's my wife' and I said 'that's okay, you can have two. We'll even get matching outfits!'

They laugh cuz it's a joke and I'm just sitting there picturing myself in a cute uniform with pig tails and pom-poms.

I may have to boy mode on the outside, but no one can stop me girl moding on the inside.

Stay tuned for more thoughts and (hopefully soon) pictures from me! Have a wonderful day ladies! Love you!

♡♡♡Nissa♡♡♡

Edit:Spell check

A guy from straight different trade just came up to me and said 'Hey Beautiful, how we doing'. Inside I'm grinning ear to ear!

Im hoping to make it a season of firsts for me. This picture, for example, is the first time in daylight public that i wore a dress with no way to hide or cover. Also first time you can see my face! It was scary but it felt so right afterwards. I got one nasty comment from some miserable dbag that im trying to keep out of my head.

Anyways im finishing this up because im trying to post before anxiety convinces me no to. Hope everyones day is going well!
