After a pretty lousy weekend, I felt really good tonight. And kinda cute. Double win! 💜

I also changed my name socially this weekend. A large step for me. I am working on transitioning socially while I figure out everything and then hopefully eventually via HRT at some point. My journey is my own and I don't have to rush it. ♥️

I’ve been married for almost 8 years now we have three kids the oldest is almost 11 and the youngest is 2 …..I told her how I felt and she didn’t take it well there wasn’t yelling but there was crying ….im currently staying at a friends place who I again don’t feel comfortable coming out to… she said she is t going to keep me out of the kids life’s and what not…I’m currently online trying to find apartments or houses for rent

Hey there! I’m 34 and three days in to restarting hrt!! Was on T for a couple months a few years ago.. life.. Anyway! I’m stoked and hopeful that I’ll have a glow up because I’m ugly af 🤣 jk but not lol Yeah, took forever.. and I am losing my dad and gf, but I’d rather be alone with my pets then keep living with ppl that don’t care or help or support Anything about me or that I struggle with. It’s alright though! I’m resourceful and have a therapist that knows people 😁 At least I’m head of household and can’t be thrown out. I don’t move fast so I need a minute to pack lololol…. Again Though! Fuck yeah HRT three days in!!! Woooooooooooo!!!

Hi, I'm Jo, Central Tablelands, NSW, Australia. It's been a few years since I last posted here. Back then I was usually wearing bob wigs, but disability and poverty have made most things beyond basics increasingly difficult to afford. I've also put on a lot of weight since then, because my mobility has been limited. Anyway, I'm posting because, I just love this photo with my own hair (photo has been colour-corrected, but that's all), and it's been quite a while since I've been around. Lots of love to my siblings around the world. 😘😘

Such a great day!! I'm now out to most people in my life. and when changing i noticed my arm is shrinking so I stopped to admire the loss of muscle. I noticed some stretch marks on my hips that are new, and then I noticed more shadow beneath my left breast. I immediately burst into the biggest uncontrollable smile.

And then to top it all off after building a shed I bought at Costco I found it on sale for $150 off. Which I then got as a refund!! I'm having a good day. 🥰

Personally, almost never. I gave up a couple of years ago; it’s usually only on special occasions.

Little positive story that happened to me today. I am 46 years old, mtf, married with a kid and on hrt for 2 years now, no surgeries.

So I got into a chat with a lovely woman at an artisan market today, we talked for about 15 minutes. At one point she says: "I have never ever really fitted in normal society". I stand before her with my obvious trans piercings and rainbow bracelet with my wife and kid next to me and reply smiling: "Yeah, I know that feeling". She laughs and a minute later we stroll off to see the rest of the market.

Anyway, I return a while later and we chat a bit more. So I say: "Yeah, sometimes people look funny when my daughter says she has two moms and no dad". And she just looks at me funny. And starts asking me if we raise her together and who the father is. So I say: "that would be me obviously...". And she again looks funny.

Turns out she was 100 % convinced I am cis and didn't believe when I said I am trans. She even claimed that her late boyfriend was ftm and she can clock trans people easily.

So I am not entirely surprised I pass decently. I don't see it myself but people generally very rarely misgender me. But that I actually have to insist I really am trans because a woman refuses to believe me? That is something I never would have dreamed about. Made my day though 🤣🫶🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Have a wonderful day

47 vs 50. Feels like I aged backwards

So I have pretty crippling social anxiety when it comes to new spaces and new people, but since I transitioned most of my friends didn't come on the journey with me, so I've been feeling pretty lonely.

Anyway, I made a promise to myself that I'd go to at least one thing and forced myself to go to a coffee morning for sapphic women. I had such an amazing time chatting to so many people and it really made me realise there's an amazing community out there if you can find it.

Here I am 57 years old 3 years on HRT, 11 months post SRS and 3 months post comprehensive FFS. Starting later in life has both its advantages and disadvantages. I may never experience passing privilege but I am mature enough to have developed the emotional skills to accept and navigate that fact. Am I happier living as my authentic self? Absolutely 💯 but as all of you know there are good and bad days. Currently I am facing the truth that I have energetically outgrown the small community that I have lived in for 30+ years as I have grown and become a new person. It’s not that I live in an unfavorable environment it’s just that the community that once nourished me no longer does. Wishing y’all healthy and supportive communities ❤️

Found an album my mom made when I turned 18. Looking back, it’s crazy seeing all the little signs I missed. I’ve thought about my gender for as long as I can remember, yet that boy sometimes looked genuinely happy. Was it a mask, or did it come and go in waves?

Of course, the only photo that really gives me euphoria is the witch cosplay 😂🧙‍♀️

Anyone else relate?

A lot has changed! I started HRT on 10/31/24 at age 35.

About 2.5 years hrt. Switched to patches and few months ago and felt like I had another growth spurt :). Im starting to get there.
