Being generally positive and thankful for being trans without being Pollyanaish and erasing the struggle so many of us face.

That’s the space I try to occupy and maintain.

This is an excellent primer on voice feminization. It has a useful glossary and covers some key exercises.

I am often more enamored with the idea of a thing than the material reality of it.

Living as a woman is probably the most notable exception to this. The reality has actually surpassed my meager expectations.

Every day I am like “goddamn, I am so glad I did this,” as I find small details to enjoy.

But honestly, the biggest thing is just looking in the mirror, and seeing myself. I mean seeing the *actual* person I am, and not the person everyone else wanted to be.

Nothing could be better.

This reddit comment is a really nice summation of Estrone Theory and why pills are not great. I highly suggest that all trans women become at least familiar with its existence.

The doctor who has done a lot of work on this theory endorses this summation in the replies to the comment.

One of the best parts about putting “queer” in your bio is that people know what they are signing up for when they follow you.

If a woman has her friends come over to collect her records and then changes her number...you are very likely a gigantic asshole.

It’s a little bit after 9 on a Friday, and I don’t know if I will ever get used to leaving work this early.

The more I think about deities, the more absurd it all becomes.

I am a big believer in it. Probably even more than I let on.

Is it for everyone? Of course not.
Do you need it to validate your transness? Absolutely not.

But it’s also not this big frightening thing, and the history of gatekeeping surrounding it seems to give it an extraordinary weight. This idea that you have to be really sure. And you really really don’t.

I wasn’t sure when I started. Like, intuitively I was drawn to it, but i hadn’t weighed it for months.
My bias is that i loved it.

Weird. I don’t see my own post in the TL.
