ATL (Decatur) she/her/hers 🏳️⚧️🇨🇺 Very open about who I am. Weirdness & kindness 24x7. Occasional writing. Cathartic venting. Puns that may qualify as war crimes. You’ve been warned.
Without downloading new pics what is it like to date (and/or be married) to you?
And the away jersey is very cool too… While I’m sure the color palate is just coincidental it does remind me a certain flag, which I adore. Happy Pride y’all.
I remember when Starbucks aspired to be a third place for folks in their local community. It’s nice to see some locations are getting back to that. Now…they just need to let their workers unionize, and I’ll get back to patronizing them regularly instead of just occasionally when I’m traveling.
Once upon a time, my internalized homophobia and transphobia made me think the pride flag was silly. Today. In a random Starbucks outside of Cleveland, OH…a state that isn’t exactly welcoming to me…I’m very happy to see it.
Sometimes I wonder if the only reason I came out of the closet was to make room for my shoes.
Cleaning out my closet this evening to do a final purge of pre-transition clothing. Decided to see how far I’ve come. Think the best I can get to an official boymode is “trans boy mode”. Also my ass and thighs do NOT fit in these jeans anymore.
4 year ago today the very unhappy person on the left swallowed hard and took her first steps to become the very happy person on the left. It was a moment that literally saved my life. It’s been an amazing 4 years, and can’t wait to see what’s next! 🎉🎉#genderaffirmingcaresaveslives
My pre-workout is a chocolate orange Japanese KitKat. Follow me for more fitness tips.
Now THIS! Is the representation my wiggly little ADHD ass has longed for her entire life! Normalize sitting comfortably!!
Anymore I put the Bandaid on after my shot so I can remember that I actually did my injection. 🙄
You’re absolutely right. Not a goddamn thing can stop me from being out there, and nothing will.
I’ll share some Christmas / trans joy with y’all: This is me on Christmas in my childhood bedroom. That mirror (which I hung in my closet as a teen) has never shown me a reflection that made me happy…until today.
How this happened: 1. They said to the engineer who controls the search code & said, “Don’t let ppl search for Trump.” 2. The engineer said, “Exactly the word Trump?” 3. They replied with, “YES! Are you stupid?” 4. Engineer muttered under her breath, “Well fuck me for asking. Exactly Trump it is.”
Post your lock screen. Mine is boring, but meaningful. That’s a beach near Miami. The day before my bottom surgery I buried the ashes of my old identity documents at sea. Life changed for me in way I could never have imagined the next day.
