“Wait, so you’re telling me you can pull out your eye?!” Papyrus asks, a disbelieving tone to his voice.
“Well, it is a glass eye, so yeah. Wanna see?”
“No! Human please don’t pull out your eyes.”
“Oh like I didn’t see you sword fighting with Sans using your own arms.”
“Skeletons are different.”

PSA: most trans people on hormones don’t pass after a year. I think the prevalence of “passing at 11 months!!!” type stories has given a lot of people the impression that somewhere around there is when people start to look like what they want. And like yeah, some people do, and fucking great for them, but you don’t see nearly as many people talking about how they don’t pass at that point because a) people share those things online less often and b) those posts get less traction because they’re heavier
Me? I passed for the first time at 7 months. I passed for the second time at 19 months. That fucking sucked. I felt like I had been given exactly what I wanted and watched it get taken away from me, and the idea that I should be passing more regularly in the months following really ate away at me and made me feel like I “failed” in my transition - I legit thought that I would never pass
It certainly didn’t help that, in addition to overwhelmingly seeing narratives online of passing early in one’s transition, every piece of medical information that was presented to me said that most changes would happen over the first two years. Maybe I was deluding myself, but baby trans me thought “oh that means I have two years to transition or else I fail because hormones won’t do anything past that”. And that ate away at me more than the not passing, cause I felt like I was “missing my chance” at having the body I wanted
And boy was I wrong, in the last year (my third year on hormones), I feel like I’ve seen more changes than I saw in my first year. My boobs are filling themselves out, my body hair is getting even lighter, my skin is noticeably softer even though I stopped moisturizing/doing most of my previous skincare routine. Hell, even my hips and ass have gotten wider. And this was *all* during an era that the medical information I was presented with gave me the impression that any changes that did occur would be minor
To show you what I mean, compare one of my first trans-flag photos, taken at 11 months on e, verses a semi-recreation I did earlier today at 33 months on e (same clothes and roughly the same pose/lighting, different mountains)
Notice a difference? I sure do - and to prove to you that this happened in the third year, here's a similar photo of me in between these two at 23 months on e:
I’m usually not one for transition timelines, mainly because my whole project is kind of a transition timeline, and if you wanna look through and see more of what I'm taking about feel free to either scroll a few posts down on my blog, or check out my google drive with all the photos from my projects. The difference doesn't look *too* dramatic to me, but some people I know irl have expressed that it is
Regardless, the point I'm trying to make here is that my experience on hormones was *not* passing at one year - and that's the experience of the vast majority of people I know who've been on hormones. Puberty takes many years, and yeah, that can suck to hear when you're expecting it to take two, but trust me, it's a healthier mindset to think of yourself as continuously moving in the direction you want, rather than waiting to arrive at a particular destination
If you've started hormones in the last year, be sure to give your body the time it needs to make the changes you want - transitioning is a marathon, not a sprint
Happy pride month and a word of advice: when you're interacting with/referring to a transfemme, you should default to she/her pronouns. Yes many transfemmes use other pronouns and yes you should use said pronouns but, when in doubt, you should default to she/her and other feminine words
I say this because many people default to they/them in situations like that, and even when it's coming from good intentions, being called they/them as a transfemme who uses she/her just feels so similar to the degendering we experience every day
Our lives are already so hard, little things like that can make them just a little easier
I'll always hate how, for white-collar workers who spend most of the day sitting, it's seen as quirky and cool to have a standing desk - and employers actively encourage people to get those desks. Meanwhile, for working-class people who have to stand all day, it's seen as lazy and disrespectful to sit down on the job - and employers actively punish those who do
It's just such an obvious bit of classism and it drives me up the wall how flagrant the double-standard is and how few people seem to see the problem here
