Trans Day of Visibility! I can see my wife today! For 24 hours she is visible in her corporeal shape, as opposed to her typical ethereal form.

Which is a good thing, because if she went around being this visibly beautiful every day, I would be stunned stupid.

Everyone once in a while I'll notice that one of my blog descriptions is "what it's like when your partner transitions." You know what, Nina living out as Nina is so normal now that I forgot this was a thing.

So for any you going "what the fuck do I do now!?" You wait. You love them. You are patient. You will find your new normal. It's the road to transitioning that's bumpy; the hard work is already done.

New Name, Who Dis?

Okay, some quick takes on building an inclusive museum membership program.

Allowing easy name and title changes on memberships is one the simplest things museums can do to be more inclusive.

Nina and I are holders Member Plus cards at the Art Institute of Chicago because they are one of the few institutions that have a membership option that works well for a polyam family, allowing four adults to visit as long as one named card holder is present. Having membership options that work for households with more than two adults isn't just about polyamory. Many families do not fit the very white idea of what a nuclear family looks like. We choose to renew with the Art Institute because we can go there as a polycule AND we can also go there with our whole family.

(Pardon the Warhol, we need to wait a month before conveniently loosing our cards.)

Princess: I figured out where my leggings were. You're wearing them.

Me (innocently): ...These?

Dreaming

Me: Pants, what gender are you in your dreams?

Pants: A man. I'm cis.

Me: Princess, what gender are you when you dream?

Princess: I've always been a girl. Except lately people have been misgendering me, even when I have long flowing hair.

Me: Huh. Well dreams are for processing daily trauma.

Pants: What about you?

Me: It changes.

Princess: You're gayer than you think.

Things my girlfriend has said since starting HRT

Princess: I once saw a theater mom open a can with a fork and I was sooo confused. I get it now. I'm not chipping my nails on a La Croix.
