Me three and a half years ago, two weeks after starting HRT, vs. me now. I'll take it. #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transmom #translesbian #notadisguise #wewontbeerased #transgender #lgbtq #transvisibility #nofilter #nomakeup #exceptlipstick #thisiswhattranslookslike #lifeinquarantine #lesbian #queeratx #actuallyautistic #pride #transitiontuesday #transformationtuesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CQcfafXn8vn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not particularly happy right now. Things will get better, though. #bleah #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transmom #translesbian #notadisguise #wewontbeerased #transgender #lgbtq #transvisibility #nofilter #nomakeup #exceptlipstick #thisiswhattranslookslike #lifeinquarantine #lesbian #queeratx #actuallyautistic https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPWYq5ntjh/?utm_medium=tumblr

I spent my day at the Austin Trans Picnic. It was great to hang out with so many other trans folks! #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transmom #translesbian #notadisguise #wewontbeerased #transgender #lgbtq #transvisibility #nofilter #nomakeup #exceptlipstick #thisiswhattranslookslike #lifeinquarantine #lesbian #queeratx #actuallyautistic #pride https://www.instagram.com/p/CQphQvnH1v6/?utm_medium=tumblr

One problem I have in my attempts to make new friends is that I apparently come off as aloof and unapproachable (that’s the nice version). Combine that with the difficulty I have approaching other people, and socializing is somewhat of a challenge.

I'd love to find someone to share my life with, but as an fifty-six year-old, autistic, trans, lesbian mom with two kids who are with me half the time, and who I might be called on randomly to help with during the other half, I don't actually hold out a lot of hope in that department. Still, I'm a heck of a lot happier like this than I would have been as an overweight, dysphoric, autistic, half-time single dad, so there's that. #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transmom #translesbian #notadisguise #wewontbeerased #transgender #lgbtq #transvisibility #nofilter #nomakeup #exceptlipstick #thisiswhattranslookslike #lifeinquarantine #lesbian #queeratx #actuallyautistic https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1fylanXOy/?igshid=1u0zw0dl04rme

This weekend I'll have my fourth birthday as myself. I'll be turning fifty-six years old. It was a long, sometimes frustrating, sometimes sad, but sometimes pretty okay road to finally discover who I really am. Here, with my transition pretty much over and done, I've got to say, it was worth it. Last pic is my ridiculous birthday present to myself, which I found at a thrift store today. #transisbeautiful #girlslikeus #girlswhocode #transmom #translesbian #notadisguise #wewontbeerased #transgender #lgbtq #transvisibility #nofilter #nomakeup #exceptlipstick #thisiswhattranslookslike #lifeinquarantine #lesbian #queeratx #actuallyautistic #birthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CPuAXh6HDL9/?utm_medium=tumblr
