A few days ago I received my official certificate of legal name change and can now begin using my chosen name everywhere! And so the overwhelming mountain of admin work begins, but I'm actually happy doing it. A younger version of myself could never have imagined feeling any excitement towards scanning documents, making phone calls, and signing forms. Yet here I am in a euphoria-powered flurry of productivity.

woke up. hair messy. super warm. lazy. :3

(also why does this mirror make me look twinky asf 😭😭)

we had fun cooking with a friend today! made some rice noodles :)

remember to have fun and wear suncream y'all xoxo

Went out for groceries, including a couple 5-gallon water jugs. At the checkout, the lovely person at the register says Hi ma'am, pretends not to notice my 5 o'clock shadow that my makeup has for hours failed to hide, tells me she loves my bracelet, and then tells the young men helping bag items to "help this nice lady with her water".

I'll be hanging onto that. She was an angel.

Share your stories too, however seemingly silly or gloriously gargantuan!

I present to you this Banger of an outfited I got for a total price of 7€ (which I spend on the skirt). I found the top in a bag of clothes that has been given away for free.

The E also do be working on my tiddies, but they are still barely seeable.

Edit: Thanks for all the nice compliments. It really means a lot for me.

Believe it or not, but I moonlight as a local game show host when I’m not out taking pictures!

Thanks for seeing me!

this was nail polish which i found at home, hehehhe, ewwwwphoria, colorless sparks

Just wanted to share this: I went out and bought an Eyebrow razor and some scissors and trimmed my eyebrows and it's amazing! I can finally stand looking in a mirror, I don't even care that I really need to shave which usually makes me super dysphoric. I didn't even do a great job, they're kinda asymmetrical and still a little but bushy, but it helps so much and I just feel great about it

That's all lol

new (to us) cell phone!

shutter button allows for selfies with back camera:

stay hydrated and comfy y'all <3

I don't know what to say exactly. My emotions are intense. I feel like I'm alive. Like I'm human. I look in the mirror and instead of seeing a scratched out void I see me. A woman. Heck even a pretty one.

My community has embraced me, my partner has been so wonderfully supportive,my friends have my great. My family...well let's worry about them another time shall we?

I want to post selfies because (a) I'm cute now and (b) I want to be a part of the tapestry of this community just like our dear ones who post here often. But I'm just too sketched out about posting face on the open Internet for now. So you'll have to take my word for it that I'm real and not just a large language model trained exclusively on posts from this community.

Things are fucking difficult for us everywhere. The world feels so hostile but that's what makes pride so important. Love you all. Keep slaying.

:3 hi folks been a while, just living life not much going on so I haven't had much to share lol!

i ordered a new couch from IKEA is probably the biggest thing in the last month happening, I'll be sure to share when we get it and assemble it

anyway byeeee ily all stay beautiful

I've been meaning to do this for weeks, today I finally went through with it :3

Started out with staggering excitement, got out of my apartment and went right back in twice.

But I pushed through eventually and all the anxiety just got flushed away. I was absolutely not prepared to get hit by one of the biggest waves of euphoria and joy I've felt since finding myself! I've been giggling for minutes on my forest walk! It just felt sooooo freeing and exhilarating. Such a trip...

Awww, just had to share for once. Look at me, sharing pictures of herself... on the internet!

Wishing you all an amazing journey <3

i love this shirt so much and yes i got mileage out of it at pride lol

this was when we realized that we could use hats to cover up our very very bushy eyebrows to look much better! we did not have any bangs at the time.

Also neat, Japanese inputs work in Voyager title boxes, just not in comment boxes, at least for the ten-key keyboard.

If you’re illiterate in Japanese, “I bought a new hat at Beaverton Pride yesterday!”

It’s a pretty good hat.

good weather? yup

sunny porch? yup

warm hoodie? yup ❤️

sleepy? every day

2 blahaj? :3

after these I fell into an uninterrupted two hour nap. woke up and still felt warm and cozy with blahajs to greet me :3

Had two nice encounters today:
First, I was at the indoor spaces of a playground with my children. After some hours there, a six-year-old asked: "Are you a boy or a girl?", to which I said "neither one really. A little bit more a girl than a boy, but not really either one."
"But then why do you look so much like a woman if you are not a woman?"

(The child has no idea how warm and giddy that made me! My voice is the deepest male voice I know among my social circle, but my clothing and accessory style is that of a woman. Haven't really felt as female as I'd want to, but apparently there's more female to my appearance than I had really thought)

And then I was walking towards home with my children and learned that there's a trans-dar just like there's a gaydar. I'm bi enough to have a largely functioning gaydar and the searching signal and response seem to work in the same manner.

In any case, I was guessing she's probably trans, and let the transdar do its magic to be sure. And after that I read a lovely greeting from her lips, to which I gestured a friendly greeting back. And then we continued our ways, me towards the bus terminal, she away from it.

First I had my first experience of passing, which is nice. Even if on a very easy level. And then, under half an hour later, I learned that I'm a part of a more tight-knit community than I had really understood. It felt meaningful for a random stranger to turn out to be a friend.

I went into the city with my mom yesterday for an errand. Along the line we made a quick stop to check for some dresses and summer clothes, where we found this.

It was a present from my mom :)

Originally I was expecting it to be a dress, due to the way the pant legs looked. When I tried it on, I first felt quite disappointed and didn't want to take it until I saw my mom's reaction. She loved it and it gave me a huuuge confidence boost.

At home, my partner also was stunned when I showed it to them. Thus I am really happy about it :)

hell yeah
