#traniversary

On october 11th 2018 i realized i was a girl. It's been 6 years. I've been 6 people since then. Here they all are.

Happy 2 years on HRT to meeeee, your favorite trains girl

Today is my ReBirthday. It’s the Summer Solstice, exactly 6 months from my actual birthday. And 13 years ago today I started HRT at the beginning of a cross country trip from L.A. to Cape Cod, where I grew up. The photo on the left was taken just before that trip. The photo on the right, a few months ago. Being trans was never a choice. But doing something about it, choosing to transition, was the best choice I ever made. I was finally able to simply be, the woman that I always was. This journey is the finest adventure I have ever said, “Yes!” to!!! #trans #adventurer #transwoman #hrt #transition #transgender #rebirthday #traniversary #beforeandafter #girlslikeus #femme #transfemme #model #improviser #queer #birthday #solstice #summersolstice #2007 #2019 #storyteller #tranniversary (at Northampton, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsvP3zBZTN/?igshid=3ijokkrbz89y

Also garlic bread! Woohoo!!!

One. Year. It’s hard to believe a year ago I was sitting at my endocrinologist’s office, stunned, as she said “you’re leaving today with hormones.” I sat the whole day, looking at my estradiol & spironolactone wondering. I wasn’t out to my family. I’d started a new job. I didn’t know we were on the precipice of a pandemic. But I wanted this - deep down inside me was the soul of a woman. One I’d expressed as a character for 10 years, & it was time bring her front and center. Despite my fears, I took my first pills that day. A year later my body & mind have gone through so many amazing changes. My mind is more focused, my emotions more genuine. And yes my boobs are present, my skin clearer. But the happiness I feel is because I finally embraced who I always have been. That woman is me & she’s finally alive. Quite honestly I would not have made it through a year’s worth of change without this! It’s why I have to shout out my support network: a huge part of why I thrived during such a shite year. My partner @briannafrostgirl had my back & guided me. I love her so much for it 💋 Thank you to my trans sisters like @skylightsoflife @Logan.mae99 @nokie.rae @boots_that_scoot showing the way. I’m so grateful to my bridesmaids/sisters Andrea, Draiy, @kelsiferious, @sl_maddydukes welcoming me into my feminine self. And my biological family (psst this includes you @nancyfitz4!) - my mom, my dad and brother: you all went the extra mile accepting me - and it’s been so beneficial to my gender identity and journey. But I’m just one trans woman though. I’ve been fortunate & lucky. It’s why today on my one year #traniversary - I encourage you to support trans advocacy groups wherever you are. Locally I’m proud to support @stlmetrotrans with donations, drag and more. Dem admin or not, this is a scary time for the transgender community, especially for kids with all these anti trans bills. Please stand up for us. We need more than support, we need action! We need you to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. But today I celebrate. I finally am myself. One year down, rest of my life to go.

Technically it ended 3 hours ago by my time but still wooo! Today uh yesterday, was busy though 😳 just over 360km of driving which got me slightly sunburnt while in the car, but it was an amazing day. Many more months to come and it will only get better I hope 😁
