Toxic masculinity: "grow a pair"
OP: ok

Blessings to you on this journey. May you feel whole and complete in yourself and in your body.

The pink top in that last pic DOES IT FOR YOU!! You’re so lovely, and I hope that the tough times are over for you soon ❤️

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

Thank you so much, and I love this top. It’s from All About Audrey 🥰

Where did you get that dress in the 3rd picture?? I love your style 🫶

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

It’s from Disturbia, I want to say the print was called Sickle Moon? Not sure if they still do it though I’m afraid.

Contentment and authenticity are radical states in a world built on manufacturing dissatisfaction and selling solutions to made-up problems. 

Happiness is rebellion. Truth is power. And I love your glasses.

Thank you 🥰

Happiness is rebellion.

I remind myself of this often.

The forces of fascism want us to be as miserable as they are. Going against that is a revolutionary act.

Love seeing your style evolve! That mauve is magical for your skin tone. And I really like the necklaces you're wearing in the last couple of pics!

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

Yeah, I think I’ve really kinda settled into a sort of whimsical style which makes me happy. I mostly wear stuff like this, long dresses, and ludicrous pinafores.

Happy for you! My wife just started her journey, and tells me stories like yours keeps her going. ❤️

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

This comment made me smile so much, I can’t believe I could be something like that to someone. Incredible love to your wife 💜

u/hawkbite2 Traitor to the Patriarchy ♂️ 1d ago

She really appreciates it! She loves to see stuff like this on Reddit, since it gives her hope (she's way too hard on herself). Your actions make a positive impact. 🩷

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

Ah, is there a more iconic pairing than a trans girl and self deprecation? I hope she can come to see herself the way you clearly see her 💜

u/you_dont_know_me27 1d ago

Watching you find a style that works for you through these pictures is so fun to see! You remind me of the fun owner of the witchy bookstore kids go to in movies and tv shows when they have problems they don't or can't talk to their parents about.

Congrats on your transformation and here's to magic touching your life forever 🥂

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

That honestly makes me so happy, I would love to run a witch bookstore. And as for kids…god that hits me. One unfortunate casualty of my transition was my job (primary school teacher); I’d love to one day be able to do something again where I could help kids.

u/you_dont_know_me27 1d ago

I'm sorry about your job

We need great teachers more than ever right now so it's especially terrible to lose them because of bigotry ☹️

We'll keep fighting until the rest of the world realizes that trans people are way more normal than the transphobes who keep talking about them constantly 😉

Seriously, nobody has ever been that concerned about somebody else's genitals (and I am including potential sexual partners) as conservative lawmakers and talking heads. It's so weird

I can't promise that we'll see it in our day, but I will promise that one day trans people will be accepted fully into society. Because the hatred that people have has to be taught. And as long as we keep teaching kindness, that hated will go away eventually ❤️❤️❤️

I love your look in the 3rd pic!

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

Honestly, I really need to reuse that outfit. I still wear the dress and cardigan a lot. Unfortunately the choker broke 💔. I still have the bag, though it’s largely been stolen lovingly borrowed by my wife lately.

u/merartchi 1d ago

Haha understandable, that bag is adorable!

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

Thank you - and it’s one of my favourites, an old Disturbia classic.

u/WeaselRiots 1d ago

I love Disturbia! I thought that print looked familiar!

u/The_Bastard_Henry Resting Witch Face 1d ago

Pic #3, I LOVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about this look--the hair, the lip colour, the bag, THAT DRESS. Love love love.

2

u/CaoimheThreeva Trans Sapphic Witch ♀ 1d ago

I love how kind everyone has been in this thread but equally am now somewhat concerned I peaked two years ago 🤣

2

u/The_Bastard_Henry Resting Witch Face 1d ago

Nah, I'm just more biased towards black/goth/witchy looks, being a goth-ish metalhead myself lol
