Went to a Gala Saturday evening. It being ND and trans (run/organized) made it reasonably comfy despite not knowing anyone but a few people there was nice.

Wife and I are both mostly femme’s, we got to dress up and get some love.

I got one of them, “it’s nice to get to see you as you” from someone who mostly only sees me on early morning/off days and I’m not always even washed yet, let alone shaven and done up.

Anyways, off to quest for more places to engage and help drive content.

Now that the weather’s warmer I bought some nice, sensible, not-baby-trans-I-hope dresses. Now that I can (very slightly) fill out the bust a bit (and not the stomach!), they are extremely affirming. It still feels a bit weird, but nice, to wear fitted stuff that’s tight around the chest.

The other day I went out on some errands in full-on fem (not that I boy mode ever, but I was trying to push the boundary). The sun was shining, the breeze pushing my skirt against my legs, etc etc. It was like a dream. As it happens I was updating my name on All The Things, and most places asked “and what is your relation to <masculine name>?”. Every time I replied that we’re the same person I got the “blink… blink… huh? … oooOOOhhh” response :3

🎵 Trans Joy 🎵

I am somehow immune to the stereotypical pickle and olive cravings, but I am devouring these almond-butter filled pretzel bites. I don’t even like hard pretzels. At least, I didn’t like them before! I also went and got my ears pierced this weekend. That felt right, somehow. I only got flat white gold studs, and my spouse says they look punk more than anything, but they somehow make my face feel smaller. I’ll take any win I can get.
