It's 2026 and I'm still a mess

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my blog!

I'm Kyla!

she/her/hers.

♌☀️♍🌙♍↗️

Pacific Northwest, USA until it collapses ⚒️ Proud Wobbly, member of the DSA, prospective SRA member. Resident tumblr Mom. Married, ethically non-monogamous, and not sure how to flirt. Problematic age gap between me (36F) and my vagina (1F).

No DNIs but several WNIs. Follow me if you want to, and I'll block you if I don't want you to. No anonymous asks, only people I follow can DM me.

I have 3 degrees in music and am hoping to get a doctorate in ethnomusicology someday, specializing in queer and non-binary musical subcultures. I play saxophone, flute, clarinet, percussion, bass, keys, and whatever else I can get my hands on. I love getting asks about anything music related! Here's a few tunes I've written over the years:

Hi girls, let’s do something! Reblog to this post with a picture of yourself, or a transition timeline if you feel comfortable about it, and things that make you happy and comfortable about yourself! To spread a bit of positivity, and show the girls that are scared that there’s joy on the other side.

[asaflowerblossoms]

I am at peace.

I hope you find someone who can’t believe they get to love you.

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."

[mentohol-blog]

My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.

For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish

being on estrogen is so fucked up. all i wanna do is show off my tits to everyone but apparently that's "weird" and "inappropriate"

[recoveredcombatsister]

Made my own jewelry out of an old N64 controller for my symphony orchestra concert tonight (the theme was video game music). With nails and eye makeup to match 😁

[asaflowerblossoms]

instrument repair sounds fun but it sure seems like it would be a pain in the brass to mess up :<

Fuck your dream job what’s your dream hobby that you don’t have the means to take up yet. Mine are falconry and aerial acrobatics

seeing trans women out in public is like warm sunlight washing over me it genuinely brightens my mood

[asaflowerblossoms]

Men stop becoming DJs, we need Event Coordinators!! These festivals are run badly 😭😭

[asaflowerblossoms]

Your pride festival is not inclusive if it's in a grass field with no manual wheelchair accessibility.

Your pride festival is not inclusive if you're blaring techno pop right outside the low sensory booth.

Your pride festival is not inclusive if there are no options for people with dietary restrictions at the food trucks.

Your pride festival is not inclusive if there is only one bathroom location.

After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy

[catboybiologist]

I take a shot once a week, and even if that was too much, I could do it as pills, and so many of my problems just evaporated overnight.

And not one person thought to bring it up.

When I was talking about how horrifying puberty felt. When I was cutting myself. When I was in inpatient care. When I attempted suicide. When I talked for YEARS in therapy about how dissociated and trapped I felt in my body. When I felt like I never truly fixed something that was deeply wrong about me that started at puberty.

Not one person said it was a possibility. No one thought "hey, maybe this kid should go to someone trained to identify dysphoria". No one mentioned that trans people weren't some weird other group of people. It didn't have to be pressure. It didn't have to be "forcing" me. Just mentioning that trans people exist and it could be me. That it was possible and it was easy. No pushing, just laying the option out there.

HRT is treated like this last ditch option. This horrific, mutilating thing that I GUESS we can give to you if you have NO OTHER options. Because did you know it's permanent? Did you know you'll be on it for the rest of your life? Did you know the health risks? Did you know it'll make you infertile? Did you know that it's deviant? Did you know that it's an alternative lifestyle for other people?

No one said it was okay to WANT it to be permanent. Or noted that most people are reliant on the medical system in one way or the other anyways (and it's not even necessary for HRT). Or that the health risks are the normal parts of having that hormone, even in cis people of your gender. Or said it was okay to not want kids, or mention that you can just freeze gametes. Or acknowledged that the "deviant" people are just people, living their lives, that have been violently pushed out of "normal" society.

I grew up in an area that Republicans mock for being a kind of "woke central". And even then it's just. Not treated as an easy option. It was never on the table if you don't specifically already know you're going through gender stuff, and no one will help you get to that point. At which point, it's still treated like the last ditch option. Did you know you can be a feminine man? Did you know you can slap a "she/her" in your twitter bio and be done with it? Did you know that you're oh-so-valid without it? Did you know that you shouldn't take HRT? Maybe don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't ta-

When you've been in it a while, HRT is the easiest, most casual thing in the world. Just pop a shot on a Saturday as part of your "everything shower" routine and you're done.

Anyways. Support trans kids always and forever.

[catboybiologist]

And if anyone comes swinging in here with "but Sierra you don't have to take HRT to be trans this is toxic" I'm going to fucking scream, because that is the status quo. "Just do this without doing this" has become a "give them an inch" refrain when making ourselves "acceptable" to the cis. Of COURSE you don't need to take HRT. I'm only reminded of it a dozen times a day.
