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.

Amazing how often we can look at a problem and ask “huh, I wonder where that comes from?” and the answer will be “misogyny.”

I ran this incident by @caprimoon and she said “I can see it,” sooooo...🤷‍♀️

In it to Femme it.

Figuring out eyeliner has felt like a godsend.

Sometimes roles play out even when specific titles are rejected. You can say “I am not this, I am not that,” as much as you like, but sometimes...functionally, you just...*are*, even if that isn’t what you are called.

I love your sappy gf posts. That kind of wholesome and rich sincerity really enriches the timeline, and I hope you never stop putting yourself out there.

Just got to finish watching Tottenham v. City, and that was well worth the wait.

What a match. So much for Spursy.
