@faithisleaping@anarres.family i love this!

this is pretty much how i approached transitioning, tho i wish i understood this before ~2 years ago

when i started transitioning, all i knew is that i was vaguely nonbinary and that i wanted the physical and mental changes from estrogen. or at least most of them, knowing i could stop if i hated it

for the first 1.5 years on hrt i didn't change much besides pronouns, i dressed mostly how i did before (which was already pretty androgynous). but after that point i felt like presenting more explicitly feminine and using a new name so i started to do that. i'm not sure if this is a genderfluid thing or a long term shift, but it feels right at this moment

that's just one way my sense of gender has changed over time. i honestly think i was mostly fine with my assigned male gender and body when i was in my 20s and early 30s, but the prospect of aging as a male became increasingly stressful and i was getting much more dysphoric

so yeah, fuck the rules and do what feels best for your body ​​

@maddy@thegayagenda.fans real! i hate it so much ​​

i'm starting to use makeup but it's such a learning curve (and kind of a pain)
