Last week was pretty good despite my wife being in fuckass Iowa for it. This week has blown pretty hard particularly at work with several issues and minor, easily avoidable, catastrophes piling up.

I really appreciate these comments. I’ve written about it before but I struggle a lot with the grief of having missed out on so much on the life I wanted to have. I consider myself unapologetically trans, and I find a lot of strength and motivation in continuing the long lineage of tough and badass transgender people fighting for better futures. However, the fantization of starting over as a cis person and shedding by trans identity if given the opportunity is incredibly strong.

Y’alls perspectives really have helped me connect back with my reality and find comfort in it. Thank you 💜

Sweater, absolutely. I have soooo many lol

I dunno why those instructions say to not use the foot, I did and it worked fine.

But anyway, I found these to be much more comfortable and comparable to how having boobs would feel as opposed to rolled up socks.

My carpet is much dirtier than the outside. I implore people to keep their shoes on in my house lol

Next try rice boobs.

This is it. This is the one that got me to unsubscribe.

I’ve been doing 2 hour sessions of electrolysis every month since June 2025. I’m now finally seeing more noticeable results. It, unfortunately, just takes a long time and persistence. Facial hair is thick and wirey and notoriously resilient. Laser and electrolysis sessions have to be consistent as to treat as many follicles as possible that are in their new growth phase.

It’s a dysphoria that I mostly just try to live with and understand that it’ll reduce over time. I have a pretty new throat tattoo so that helps mask the color gradient caused by facial hair shadow on my neck. I mostly just try to shave as close as I can using tge shaving attachment of my Braun epilator, followed by a normal men’s electric razor, and finally dry shaving prominent areas like my chin or upper lip. If I put makeup on, I use a peach color corrector (since I’m white) under foundation and concealer.

I love my electrologist and I’m glad that I’m finally seeing results and that they’ll be permanent. But I would probably opt for laser if I had to do it over again.

I love this shot, Tanis!

Kimberly, the pink Power Ranger, was my first “do I want her or want to be her?” conundrum.

It was both.

O hai cutie! 💜💜💜

I have a crocheted opossum named Ester and a blahaj named Genny. They’re fantastic cuddlers.

I would love this honestly.

I use queer as well when talking more broadly. I think, as a whole, it is appropriate especially since “queer” has been fairly ubiquitously reclaimed. Although I’m sure some pockets of the LGBTQ+ community may disagree.

No problem. It typically depends on the context but I’d say a safer alternative to use is just “trans folk” or “trans people”.

Just a heads up in case you’re not aware, “trannies” is typically seen as a slur.
