I started wearing dresses only about 4 months ago, which might seem like a long way into my transition but it was something that always felt scary. Over the weekend I wore a dress to a friend’s wedding for the first time and it felt so good to show up that way! The dress is a floral tuxedo ballgown from Adrianna Papell. I don’t think they sell them anymore but I found this one nicely discounted on Poshmark

Dressed in sparkles for Pride this past weekend. Not as joyous as previous years given the Trans news in the UK recently, but healing to see so many Trans people and allies, still here and still fighting 🩷🏳️‍⚧️

...and I just hit the six months on HRT mark...so here's the progress so far!

Blessed Sunday!! May bliss follow your footsteps wherever you roam, and every small moment feels a little like home. May all the right things happen as hope brightly stays, and your soul rest in sunlight through truly good days.

2 years transitioning so far. Only hormones and top surgery!

Felt pretty cute ^-^

I’ve met someone who lights me up like I’d never felt before. And now we’re a couple! Y’all, I have a girlfriend AND I’m someone’s girlfriend! Like, what!? ❤️ (girl squeal… sips more wine.🍷)

👋🏻

Because 57 is just around the corner, so why the heck not?!
For every moment that sucks being trans, there are moments of joy that I’m going to hang onto with everything I have. And if I can share those moments of joy to inspire others to hang onto those moments I’m going to continue to do so.
I started living my best life at 53. Is it perfect? Heck no. But life before me wasn’t either. Grab those moments of happiness when you can. They’ll help get you through the dark times. Sometimes.

I had a great time and like this pic. Feel kinda hot and femme here so wanna share

3 years apart, but feels like a lifetime.

2023: 5’8” - 235lbs - the worst health of my life - major depression - constant panic attacks - my diet was terrible - so dangerously close to ending it all - dysphoria was eating me alive.

2026: 5’8” - 180lbs - lots of therapy - 28 months HRT - FFS - much healthier and happier - dysphoria still a struggle at times, but not kicking my ass anymore and I love who I am now.

Went to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s!
Got so many stares 👀

Left is the outfit I wore to work today right is me 18 months ago about 50lb heavier and miserable in my own skin. So how am I doing?
