For the trans ask game: 4, 5, 27, 42!

4. What do you do to perform self-care when you’re feeling dysphoric?

Take a long shower, make tea, light a scented candle, and nap / lie down / watch nature docs if I’m feeling introverted; go thrift shopping with a friend if I’m feeling extroverted and have some spare cash

5. What was the first time you suspected you were transgender?

As an adult, it started dawning on me when I was 20, in the middle of my first major depressive episode in the winter of my third year of college. But apparently when I was 6 or so, my then-best friend told me about SRS (in six year old terms). When my mom picked me up, I told her I wanted to marry him, and she said “silly, boys can’t marry boys” and I said no it’s okay I can be a girl! That ended up getting buried pretty deep and not coming out again til adulthood, but it’s the first memory I have of expressing transness.

27. What do you do to validate yourself?

- Post selfies here and bask in compliments bc y’all are great and make me feel great

- Get cute new clothes as mentioned above. I have a rule that when I go thrifting, I should try on and preferably get at least one thing that’s out of my fashion comfort zone. That’s how I ended up falling in love with tanks, crop tops, florals, and this incredible set of pleather overall shorts.

- Remind myself of good things I’ve done for other people recently

42. Do you interact with other trans people IRL?

My roommate, one of my apartmentmates, my best friend, and my girlfriend are all trans, as are several of my former and current partners. Honestly, if I don’t count work, most of the people I interact with are trans (and it’s frickin fantastic).

You deserve all the love in the world and you are absolutely allowed to take up space.

Okay, but catch me jammed into this closet anyway not able to appreciate all the love that I have been given and, instead, crying by myself because I’m a mess that has somehow manifested into a human form.

Orange blossom, azalea, magnolia!

!!! thank u!!! :Dorange blossom: if you could pick the gender and appearance of your child, would you?probably not? that seems a little unethical but i’d kind of like to have both a boy and a girl so i would maybe like to make that happen.

azalea: what’s a movie you cried while watching?i sobbed during harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2 hahah. also during avatar? like the one with the blue people? i don’t know what my deal is.

magnolia: favorite kind of candy?i have such a sweet tooth it’s unreal. my all time faves are kit kats and jawbreakers but at college i eat INSANE amounts of Hershey’s cookies and creme chocolate bars and tropical flavoured Hi-Chews. they are my life force i would be dead without them

Hair, cheeks, chest, stomach

Hair: What hair color looks best on you and what’s your natural color?

A couple months ago it was dark blue and purple, with pink streaks in specific spots and it was HAWT. Natural color though is a medium-brown.

Cheeks: Do you blush easily?

hella

Chest: Are your maternal/parental instincts strong?

Honestly I’m not entirely sure what the basis for comparison is so I don’t know how to answer this question. I’m tempted to say “no,” because people have to be really dear to me to unlock my protectiveness. Or you can just… remind me really strongly of someone else I cared about but lost, and that can unlock it, too.

Stomach: Do you feel confident in your body image?

I have a very strange relationship with my body image that’s a bit hard to explain. Essentially, I have enough self-confidence to acknowledge that I have some characteristics that would be considered conventionally attractive… but they don’t really fit my personal aesthetic of what is attractive. So it’s this weird internal struggle of “I look good, but I wish I looked a different kind of good.”

☁️, 💗, 💫

☁️ talk about your dream universe.

Fantasy realm.

Fae exist; you can befriend them if you are pure of heart. There are mermaids, but similar to humans, some are nice and some are violent so it’s not like you can walk out in the water and expect to make a new friend. You can bend the elements like in the Avatar series, but instead of it being a power that you either have or don’t have, it’s more like a martial art that you can train for. So you can pick an element, or all the elements, depending on your level of self-discipline. Also you can become a wizard, but on top of being studious, you have to be in good standing with the fae and they have to be the ones training you and decide whether you are worthy of the power. 

💗 if you could hug anyone, who would it be?

My Broski. I miss him so much.

💫 who inspires you?

Also Broski. He’s been through so much pain but he still finds reasons to smile, and time to always be there when you need him. He inspires me to pick myself back up when things go wrong, and to walk through life always learning and seeking to become a more understanding and compassionate person. A deeply loyal friend. True cinnamon roll. Beautiful heart. Deserves all the happiness the world can offer. <3
