more transition rambling
as upset as i sometimes get about not passing, i still love what transitioning is doing for/to my body so much. like i never get sick of seeing how hairy i’m getting, i’m impatient for more facial hair and so excited to have stubble and one side burn (and i would love for both side burns to come in.) my chest hair has started coming in the past few weeks and THATS been a thrill.
every time i hear myself singing and actually like how i sound? every time i laugh weird and sound like my brother, who i love so much? every time i see a friend for the first time in awhile
it’s just, life has been so hard for like, a year and a half now, and while i do think i’m finally on the upswing, there’s a lot of new trauma to deal with. but one thing i’ve learned from all this is how to take care of myself so, so well. i can love and care for myself now in ways i never imagined being possible. and having a body that actually brings me joy makes that so much easier.
and like, it’s especially resonant to have a body that actually brings JOY when i’ve had chronic pain since i was 12. when this all started because i got a new disability. my body can do less and hurts more and i still love it more. its harder to care for, but i’m trying harder.
transitioning has saved my life in SO many ways i could not be more grateful that i finally did it

what do you mean they brought back the cat in the wall shit 😭
the 'cat in the wall' shit from Mac and Dennis Break Up!
i mean... den said.. the cat either dies or Comes Out At Some Point. "end of the Vitruvian era" (aka this ideal of masculinity which tends to go hand-in-hand with heterosexuality) so uhhhh... he.. came out?
... or im a fucking buffoon. either option is 100% possible!
(uhhh also shoutout to Jackie's joke post abt Dennis falling out of the painting being a coming out metaphor that I am basically taking all the way seriously LOL)
