can't wait to start T and grow my own cunty little mustache

[horrid-thing]

I lived my whole tranny life hearing and repeating "Don't sleep in binders!!" and now that I've gotten top surgery I have to wear one 24/7 for a month which feels like a revocation of something

I don't need to be a toxic, sexist, piece-of-shit asshole, performing hyper-masculinity just to be validated as trans. I am literally better than every cis man I have ever met in my life.

Ughhhhhhh I hate talking to him bro

I hate being so open minded sometimes because when I wanna do something that makes me feel me, or just because I wanna do it. But I can't because he's so closed minded and traditional. 

I want a mustache. 

"No women don't do that." 

I want to have body hair

"No women don't do that." 

I want to use my preferred name, I want to use different pronouns, I want to date whoever I want, I want a binder, I want to be called brother, and son, I want to not be afraid to talk to my dad bout who I am. 

I literally can't be myself and it sucks. I feel like I can only exist online. And hell I can't even really do that because I'm afraid of my digital footprint.

Back when I was in school I at least had my teachers use my name, and sometimes my pronouns. But I graduated so I don't even have that anymore.

How my brain works for some reason

Nothing on my chest at all: 👍

A bra that's literally so small it doesn't even have a cup size because I got it when I was 12 and it still fits: 😫

Thankfully, my transition has been going pretty well, all things considered. Socially, I'm out to my family, my co-workers, and some of my friends, and they're all cool with it. Medically, HRT has been touch and go for a while, but now my levels are stable, and things are coming along and... growing, albeit slowly.

The mental aspect, however, has been the most difficult for me to face thus far. Rooting out internalized transmisogyny and poor coping mechanisms, working through my fear of expression, finding community to help stay sane...

It's a lot. A lot a lot a lot. To have the final boss be what you see in the mirror.
