People obviously don't understand the consequences we face and the sacrifices we make when we transition. Being trans isn't easy.

But we do it anyway, because the alternative is to be miserable.

I moisturize with a homemade lotion. It's really simple to make. Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, almond oil. I just do equal parts and put it in a double boiler until it's all liquid.

I use that everywhere, even in my hair as a deep conditioner. I will never buy store bought again.

I should definitely be using SPF though ๐Ÿค”

I'm relieved that it's not just me.

I rarely leave my house but I love getting dolled up. It just makes me feel prettier when I look in the mirror. Plus a little boost of euphoria throughout the day.

Being trans isn't a mental illness. We've existed across every culture and century, long before you had an opinion about it. Lack of empathy, however, actually is clinically recognized as a symptom of certain conditions. But hey, no shame, mental illness shouldn't be stigmatized either ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉต

Wow congrats, you should be proud! This is super inspiring. Not just the changes, but the sense of calm and quiet confidence that comes through over time :3

I took this pic a few months ago (5 months on HRT at the time). I've been too nervous to share it but fuck it, we're here :3 ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Edit: Holy cow, you're all so sweet ๐Ÿ˜Š Thank you so much for all the love. It means more than I can put into words ๐Ÿฅฒ

 

After 5 months, I guess I've fully cracked. Now I'm wondering about updating my professional website, that cesspool LinkedIn, etc.

I'm a Dev (yes, I use Arch) and I used to teach. I guess I'm nervous about having to tell my old students and coworkers.

Iโ€™d love to hear strategies, lessons learned, or anything that made the process smoother.
