lots of new footage for me to edit now...

then the East River and sunrise to end off the night, well, morning, by then, hehe

having so much fun just being... free. not just to do as I please but to continuing to explore what feels like me without any judgement. can't thank my friends enough for supporting me and helping me along the way, I'll never be able to repay them ❤️🥹

Edit: Looking at this in the morning, I realize this is not a very joyful post for a community called transjoy 😂. I was half asleep when I posted it yesterday and somehow didn’t realize I was in the wrong community.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I need to get ready for work, but I’ll be reading through the comments on my commute.

Hopefully my sleepy-brain mistake isn’t too much of an issue 😅.

Original post:

I’m not sure if this is a common experience, but I’ve noticed that since starting my transition, some people I used to genuinely enjoy being around have started to annoy me.

It’s not because they mess up my name or pronouns. That happens occasionally, but they usually correct themselves right away and apologize. It’s more that I just don’t seem to enjoy their company anymore.

For some context, I’m a civil engineer, and most of my friends are engineers as well. I’ve noticed this most strongly with some of my coworkers lately. It’s hard to describe exactly what changed. Part of it is that a lot of them have a very “macho” attitude, but it’s not just that.

Sometimes I wonder if, before transitioning, I was convincing myself that I liked being around certain people because I wanted to fit in, and now I’ve stopped doing that. But it’s strange, because there are days when I feel annoyed just seeing them, or when they make plans and invite me.

Has anyone else experienced something similar after transitioning? Did your social circle change, or did you start seeing certain relationships differently?

Just in time for pride month i guess 😁

How was everyones weekend? Hopefully good, but free internet hugs for those that weren't ❤️❤️

Day 3! Been feeling a little more bitchy lately, but not much else 😂

Thank you for being you.

pre transition I hated formal wear its wild how different I feel now that I like my form and look overall. some day I'll get a tailored suit

wasnt so bad, pretty tired tho lol. did my makeup in about 60 seconds this morning cus I forgot until the last second, think I did good all things considered xd

poor girlfriend couldn't find someone to work the closing shift tonight, I hope she doesn't have to stay till 11 :(

i haven't worn this since before I started hrt, the difference in feel is astounding

that is all :)

I got my ass roundly handed to me though, but I’m still satisfied with my work I submitted for the contest.

So this contest had a hundred photographers submitting five photos each, across seven participatory categories. To make matters more interesting, we were given a twenty-four hour time period, and a quarter mile square of Portland, in order to make our works!

Here’s four of my five (the last one has an uncensored license plate that’s crucial to the nature of the image and I don’t wanna be banned):
