August, 2 years! I started walking for several hours per day, for both my mental and physical health.

There are so many mornings now when I wake up, put on my old worn out glasses, go to the bathroom and see a girl in the mirror. It's so joyful! Even if it's still sometimes confusing after so many years thinking that this was impossible. It clearly isn't though. đŸ„°

Here's some music I made. I'm pinning this and will update it if I publish more. I'll try naming the genres—but I kind of consider all of it to be nu jazz.

Hiii! (boosts welcome!)

To you queers I'm Jasmine [ʝasˈmiːn], neuroqueer baby emerita and silly mum to a lovely preschooler.

Most of my life was about music, until I eventually switched to philosophy, and then to politics, and eventually to myself. There's been a bunch of special interests and uncountable hyperfixations, and I've likely moved on from more things than most approach in the first place.

I'm on a mental health journey, uncovering, recovering, untangling and rebraiding my whole life. It is really taking me places. And I love the person I'm becoming! So I post a lot of selfies, but the changes on the inside are honestly the best ones. I'm learning so much every day!! đŸ„°

I'm a relationship anarchist! Flirting is fun as long as everybody's reading the room—just don't make it weirder than me please.

Lots of love! 💕

My important trans threads!

These three were pinned individually before, but I want to pin other things too, so I'm linking them instead now.

The quote that made me accept myself

“Fighting the world as your authentic self is better than fighting yourself on behalf of the world.”

On trans joy as the solution

Trans people deserve to start out from a place of joy.

Transitioning is an act of radical self-love

Transitioning is an act of loving yourself because it presupposes that you accept yourself and decide to let yourself blossom, and it is radical because your whole life has taught you not to do it.

@lulu thanks! 😊

the question is only whether you think it was more or less, when compared to the average cis person in general.

I was way more trans-positive than the average, even within my immediate social circles, which in themselves were better than the average looking at the whole spectrum.

I was using the android "read aloud" feature earlier, and it was kinda painful for a number of reasons.

So:

  • My brain won't let me read for many minutes, so I need things read out loud to me.
  • Android's built-in reader is too machine-like and my brain can't handle it.
  • I need some versatility in how to initiate it, like from the text selection context menu, or optionally using copying the text into a dedicated app.
  • My budget is practically zero.

Is this solvable?

from now on whenever someone says "can you google that" I'm gonna mishear it as "can you doodle that" and then I'll pick up my phone and do a quick drawing of whatever I imagine the answer to their question is.

Took me the entire day to get ready and go out—but I did it!

We're 15°C short of thaw and consequently have 2 dm of snow. It's nice for a change! But with how I lost two months this summer to trauma coping, I can't help but long for it to return as soon as possible. I have so many summer clothes I never got to wear yet!

transition selfies thread (cw: implied nudity)

July, 23 months. Time's running out on dealing with the eviction thing—but I actually manage to fix it. ✌

Slowly beginning to get into better shape again, with lots of walking and healthier eating. Feeling more playful again after replacing much of the impending doom with rest. (So much rest.)

No matter how little exercise I got, I always had a very muscular build. There are pictures from my yeti couch potato days, when all I ever did was eat unhealthy food and sit at the computer, and I still look really strong. It's just the way my body is, whether on testosterone or not. It's been stressful because of the dysphoria—but this month was when HRT had finally changed me enough that I could begin appreciating it.

This is actually the first time I've been able to appreciate my own body at all, ever!

June, 22 months. Had a close call and almost got evicted by the end of May, and the month that followed was pretty frustrating. Spent a lot of it in freeze mode with my mental health kind of deteriorating.

May, 21 months. I turned 41 years old! There was work training, but now at a car wash. And I almost reached my pre-transition weight again, which unfortunately made most of my clothes impossible to wear.

April: 20 months of HRT.

Continuing to improve my makeup skills. I started a new work training programme! Worked at a cafe the first week and had to stuff my hair into this little cap while wearing a workplace uniform. That was really scary, because my gender presentation now had to rely entirely on makeup, voice and the way I moved, while I simultaneously started using the women's locker room.

But I made it! The staff at this place clearly had a strategy in place to make me feel safe. I only really got misgendered by three people (out of dozens and dozens of other programmes participants) and the staff meticulously corrected them each time, sometimes even inserting themselves into conversations just to gender me correctly in front of people who didn't "get it".

This was my first experience with meeting new people after fully transitioning socially 8 months earlier. The confidence boost I got was huge! đŸ„°

yay let's go! another six months!!

Here's March first. I tried to start running again but failed. Got misgendered a bunch too. Honestly I was quite tired a lot of the time, but still had some silliness in me.

I had switched to injections in mid-February and I stopped taking androcur in mid-March.
