This time on Wednesday, my top surgery will be completed and I'll be back in my air bnb. JUST 2 DAYS TO GO!!

I’m so nervous and excited, though the nerves are getting to me now. I’ve never even had to go into hospital for a small procedure so it’s a bit daunting!

I know I’m doing the right thing, but it’s going to be a lot of healing and rest and recovery afterwards. Sadly, I’m not very good at resting but at least I’ll have @georgiacooked with me to keep me from going insane.

Trying a birth control implant because every other time has gone terribly but I'm already going into a depressive episode. I hate this shit. Stg.

Govt has refused my gender affirming hysterectomy so....

Birth control is my only option. Hormonal pills weren't good for me and Ive tried and been on several, some for years.

Between dysphoria and suicidal ideation, I feel like Ontario just wants trans people gone.

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Aspen?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Sai, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."

Edit: Ok, this has gotten alot of attention, but right now my other posts is what really needs attention. I have a few fundraisers for people trying to evacuate Palestine and Gaza, but also a diabetic who needs her insulin shot. Please please please, go to my page and at the very least repost those posts, have the day you deserve and free Palestine🇵🇸

Kellie Maloney: The Journey of Self-Discovery and Identity

In the realm of professional boxing, Kellie Maloney is a name that resonates with determination, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to self-identity. Kellie Maloney, formerly known as Frank Maloney, has become a symbol of courage in the face of societal norms. Her journey from a renowned boxing promoter to embracing her true self as a woman is not just a story of transition but one of self-realization. At the heart of this narrative lies the deep-seated understanding that Kellie Maloney was always destined to be the woman she is today.

The Early Struggles: A Hidden Truth

Long before the world recognized Kellie Maloney as a successful boxing promoter, she grappled with an internal struggle that few could comprehend. Despite her accomplishments in a male-dominated industry, there was an undeniable dissonance within her—a constant battle between the life she lived and the identity she yearned to express. For years, Kellie Maloney navigated through her professional and personal life with a hidden truth, one that she could not articulate even to herself. The societal expectations placed upon her as Frank Maloney were a suffocating force, preventing her from embracing her true identity.

A Society Unaware: The Misconceptions of Gender

Kellie Maloney's story is not just her own; it reflects the broader misconceptions surrounding gender and identity. For centuries, society has confined individuals within rigid gender norms, often dismissing the complexities of identity. The transition that Kellie Maloney underwent is not merely a physical transformation but a profound alignment with her true self. The idea that one can simply "decide" to change gender overnight is a misconception that fails to grasp the depth of the journey. Kellie Maloney did not wake up one day and decide to be a woman; she has always been a woman in her essence, navigating a world that only saw her through a limited lens.

The Media's Role: A Call for Respect

The media's portrayal of Kellie Maloney has often been marred by misunderstanding and insensitivity. Referring to her past with male pronouns or questioning her identity demonstrates a lack of respect for her journey. It is essential to acknowledge Kellie Maloney for who she truly is—a woman who has fought not only for her identity but also for the respect and recognition she deserves. The language used to describe her should reflect this understanding, emphasizing her identity as Kellie, not Frank. By doing so, we honor her courage and the profound sense of self she has embraced.

The Courage to Be: Embracing True Identity

Kellie Maloney's life is a testament to the strength required to live authentically in a world that often resists change. Her decision to transition was not a choice but a necessity—an affirmation of who she has always been. The fear, confusion, and isolation she experienced before her transition were not signs of weakness but indicators of the immense pressure she faced in conforming to societal expectations. Today, Kellie Maloney stands as a beacon of hope for those struggling with their identities, showing that it is possible to live authentically and find peace within oneself.

Conclusion: Kellie Maloney—A Legacy of Authenticity

Kellie Maloney's journey is more than a personal triumph; it is a powerful narrative of authenticity, courage, and the relentless pursuit of self-identity. As we reflect on her story, we must recognize that Kellie Maloney has always been the woman she is today, regardless of the name or identity imposed upon her by society. Her legacy will continue to inspire and challenge societal norms, reminding us all of the importance of living true to oneself. In celebrating Kellie Maloney, we honor the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of embracing one's true identity.

My First Year on Testosterone

I've been on Testosterone for a year, and I want to try to do a write up of all my experiences with it so far.

These are just things I've noticed so far - there's probably a lot of smaller changes I haven't noticed yet.

Month 0-6 First off, I was on half a sachet of Androgel (25mg) for the first six months, as I'm nonbinary and anxious and wanted to go into the process slowly. The first six months nothing big really happened, and I've also heard people say gel works slower than injections do.

My acne on my face got a bit worse, but I've always had terrible hormonal acne, so this was both expected and not that big of a change

My skin and hair got very oily, but it wasn't consistently oily all the time - just like once every one or two weeks for a few days I'd notice my skin being more oily than normal.

The first two months my PMDD got easier to manage, but then it went back to being as bad as it had been before.

I started masturbating usually twice a day instead of once a day, but I'm not sure if that was because of horniness or just because masturbating helps my anxiety and falling asleep.

My upper-lip hair started growing in faster and thicker, though not any longer. I always had upper-lip hair though so it didn't feel like a huge change.

Month 6-9 6 months in I moved to taking a full sachet of Androgel (50mg) every day for 3 months. When I did this I planned from the get-go to go onto injections, as the injections are waaay cheaper than the Androgel (like, a quarter of the price), but stayed on gel for a bit longer because I was going on holiday and didn't want to have to worry about injections while away.

This was when I noticed my first long chest hair and little chin hairs

My voice started changing around this point

Month 9-12 For the last 3 months I've been on injections (0.25ml). I prepare the syringe but get my dad to give me the actual shot because I haven't been able to get myself to do it yet.

Voice has been steadily getting deeper, though it still breaks pretty frequently (and I haven't gotten fully used to talking at a lower register all the time)

I've gotten a lot more chest hairs as well as more hair in various other places on my body too, though nothing as obvious as the chest hairs.

The acne around my jaw has gotten worse, and I've noticed some acne on my shoulders, though not a lot. The skin on my shoulders feel like a different texture than previously (more rough and dry)

My period for the first two months on injections were ROUGH - they were both late and I got worse PMDD and headaches before they started, but the most recent period started a week early with no signs of it coming other than a headache the day before.

MUCH hornier. All the stuff I write lately is so fucking horny.

Noticed I had some bottom growth - my clit is bigger than it was before I started on T, though I had to double check some photos to see because it's not a huge difference.

I've also been slightly more anxious this month, and have gotten more throat-related colds over the last 6 months than I used to (like, I've gotten sick with very similar symptoms 4 times since September) but I don't think that's related to T?

This is what being a trans woman feels like

[alienbycomics]

[Begin image description: comic with 4 panels. Panel 1- Title: “Progress Report.” A transfeminine person named Riri undressing in a dressing rooms looks in the mirror in surprise, saying “I have boobs now!”

Caption: coming up on 6 months on HRT, I’ve already noticed some big changes.

Panel 2: 2 people are shown wearing backpacks. The first is a male presenting person looking worried, Riri pre-transition. Dark tentacles spill out of their small backpack, representing anxiety and depression. The second figure is Riri post-transition, femme- presenting and looking calm. They have a bigger backpack with the dark tentacles contained.

Caption: I cry a lot more, but I can handle my emotions so much better, instead of letting them crush me.

Panel 3: post-transition Riri, teary eyed, is in a pose implying they just stopped clutching the sides of their head. Stormclouds roll away in the background. Behind Riri is a line of test tubes, with a new sparkling pink chemical just added to the lineup. Riri says “Oh” in relief.

Caption: It feels like I finally got that one missing chemical my brain chemistry has always needed… my noisy, restless brain can finally calm down.

Panel 4: Riri smiles and hugs themself in blissful euphoria. A bandaid is on their tummy.

Caption: I was so nervous to start HRT, but I feel so much more connected to my body and my emotions now. I love the me I’m becoming. End image description]

It’s too early but it begins! See you all on the flip side! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

[chrissy-kaos]

Today 9/1/2024 marks my 4 year HRT anniversary!. I don’t have words to express how incredible that feels. I started this journey at 31 now at 35, I can’t believe I’m even here right now. It feels like I just started this journey yesterday. It’s been an adventure to say the least. But I’m so happy I got the courage to take the first step. It’s changed my life so much and I couldn’t be happier! And to think I thought I’d never be pretty at 30+, Oh my gosh was I wrong! I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. If you bust your ass and put the effort in, anything is possible! Never give up! It’s never too late to transition and be the person you’re meant to be!

To me, "having made it" as a trans woman isn't passing.

It's about not needing to shave your legs anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not needing to wear makeup anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not worrying about every step or sound you make to make sure you seem feminine.

It's about trying to get your hair to look just right, and instead of thinking "RAAAH NOO!! I'll never pass like this everyone will think I'm a man!", you think "Bleh, bad hair day... Oh well"

It's about feeling feminine no matter what you do, no matter what others think. Especially that last part.

It's about knowing, accepting, deep down, that you are a woman, and nothing you do or don't do will change that fact.

That's when I know I made it.
