most baffling reaction i've gotten to uncoming out at work is my coworker who bellowed "congratulations, my friend!" and gave me a hearty slap on the back

in the past week three people that i knew before transition said something along the lines of ‘honestly you are so different now that it’s basically like knowing a completely different person’ and honestly? that’s fucking ideal, thank you

every cis person that insists that trans people are Bad, Actually bc we haven’t freed ourselves from the oppressive institution of gender and should really just be living as very gender nonconforming cis people so as not to enforce oppressive gendered stereotypes owes me $20

i want women to feel comfortable talking to me about whatever they want to talk about but i just sure do wish that more cis women would talk about their anatomy or women-specific experiences without alluding to me, a trans man, “getting it” bc of my own anatomy and history or saying things that make it clear they don’t really see me as a man at all

periodic reminder that i love testosterone and hrt is the best thing i’ve ever done

finally passing is just.... the best shit in the world

i really can’t explain how at home i feel in my body now. coming out brought me closer to my body than i’d ever been before, which was amazing, but top surgery has really brought me into myself. this is my body and my home. there’s a peace in that that i don’t think i’ve ever felt before. i still need to heal, and there are still parts of my body that i’m not totally at peace with, but literally this procedure was life changing in the best way

i’m going to spend the next three weeks SCREAMING and VIBRATING THROUGH MY FUCKING SKIN with a heady mixture of joy nerves and stress and THAT’S OKAY
