I am two years post op top surgery today! I've come so far in the last two years and I couldn't be prouder of myself and my progress. And I'd be lying to say I can't believe it's already been two years, because really I can barely remember what it was like before (thank god lol) but I finally feel more at home in my own skin, which is amazing in and of itself. I can't wait to see what changes will come one year from now. Swipe to compare how different I looked just one year ago today 😊 • • • • • • • • • • #tbt #tb #throwback #postop #topsurgery #anniversary #doubleincision #medicaltattoo #ftmtransgender #ftm #trans #transguy #transmasculine #transisbeautiful #lgbtq #lgbt #queer #testosterone #vitaminT #hrt #18monthsonT #facialhair #bodyhair #shorthair #weightlossjourney #weightloss #vegan #plantbased https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnr6RNshSMV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dadd7uh7d4sg

Today I'm sharing these photos to show the progress throughout my weight loss journey so far, because I have officially lost fifty pounds! The first photo is at my current weight, the second is from March of 2018, and the third is from January 2017, at my heaviest weight. I've made the most progress since March of this year, with about a thirty five pound difference. I've been working really hard by exercising regularly, but what made the biggest difference was changing my diet. Also, I recently got medical tattoos on my nipples since I lost part of one of my skin grafts and the other didn't heal as well as I'd wanted it to, and I'm so pleased with the results! If you look between the first and second photo you can really see a big difference. I'm really proud of myself and all the ways I've been making progress recently and I just wanted to share that with you all, along with many other exciting updates that I can't wait to share with you soon! 💗💗💗 • • • • • • • • • • #tbt #tb #throwbackthursday #throwback #weightloss #weightlossjourney #progressnotperfection #bodypositive #vegan #plantbased #crueltyfree #ftmtransgender #ftm #trans #transguy #transmasculine #transisbeautiful #queer #17monthsonT #postop #topsurgery #doubleincision #scars #medicaltattoo #testosterone #vitaminT #hrt #lgbt https://www.instagram.com/p/BmkK5whhctd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mb7z9rx4dcw0

Beach hair and scruff 🌊 Also, I took my shirt off at the beach today for the first time and it felt SO good! I have so many good things going on in my life right now and I can't wait to share more about them with all of you soon 💗 • • • • • • • • • • #ftmtransgender #ftm #trans #transguy #transmasculine #transisbeautiful #queer #17monthsonT #postop #topsurgery #doubleincision #testosterone #vitaminT #hrt #lgbt #facialhair #shorthair #beachhair #beachday #bodypositive #weightlossjourney #vegan #plantbased #crueltyfree

Today marks my one year anniversary of starting testosterone! Me in the first picture never would have guessed that I would have come this far today. I've grown tremendously as a person, and I'm so proud of myself for the work it took to get here. My journey is far from over, though. Over the next year, I hope that I continue making progress in the right direction, and I can't wait to share it with all of you ❤ • • • • • • • • • • #OneyearonT #1yearonT #12monthsonT #ftmtransgender #trans #transguy #transmasculine #queer #vitaminT #testosterone #lgbt #facialhair #hrt #transisbeautiful #bodypositive #weightloss #vegan #plantbased #crueltyfree #genderrolesaredead #grad #tbt #tb #throwback

Happy Valentine's day from my lovebugs 🐞💕🐞💕 Despite the terrible news from Florida today, I hope all of you had something that brightened your day, even if just from seeing these pictures. We all have to show up at the polls this November because the only way to make change is to boot the toxic gop out of office. p.s. my mom made both Toby's hoodie and Poppy's bandana • • • • • • • • #valentinesday #valentines #GunControlNow #FloridaShooting #dogs #pets #cutepets #brothers #cockapoo #poodlemix #cockerspanielmix #cockapoosofinstagram #funny (almost)➡️ #12monthsonT #ftmtransgender #ftm #trans #transguy #transmasculine #queer #testosterone #lgbt #vitaminT #hrt #transisbeautiful #bodypositive #vegan #plantbased #crueltyfree

It's been one hell of a year, to say the least. I've matured and grown so much as a person in this last year, more than ever before, and I don't plan on stopping expanding my personal growth anytime soon. For me, one of the prevailing lessons I learned in 2017 had to do with accepting the dialectics in life. If you're not familiar with dialectics, simply put, it's a way of thinking that acknowledges and accepts that two seeming opposites can BOTH exist, AND be true, at the same time. This rings true for many of my experiences in the past year. So, I leave you with some of them now: • I have felt so weak and incapable, AND at the same time, had the strength and resilience to rise above in the face of adversity. • I have been angry with AND still have love for those closest to me. • I can accept myself exactly as I am AND continue to move towards more healthy, positive changes. And most importantly: • I have been scared of what the future may hold AND I am still continuing to make headway to forge a life that is worth living. I send my love, positivity, and good intentions out to all of you, and wish that you are able to expand and reach all of your goals in the new year as well.

I know I'm always late on these haha but yesterday was my 10 months on testosterone! I've faced many challenges these past 10 months, but I have never wavered in my decision to start taking hormones. Before starting testosterone, I knew I was a boy, but now I'm learning what it truly means to be a man. #10monthsonT #ftmtransgender #ftm #transguy #trans #transmasculine #queer #vitaminT #testosterone #lgbt #facialhair #hrt #transisbeautiful #bodypositive #vegan #plantbased #crueltyfree #browneyes #browneyedboy

Normally I don't believe in fear mongering, by if you aren't already aware of the issue surrounding net neutrality, or you aren't concerned about it, you should be. I strongly urge you all to call your representatives to demand that the FCC maintain net neutrality. Remember: there's strength in numbers. If we all rise together as one, we will likely create a more desirable outcome, and achieve the goal of preserving an open internet, which is crucial for giving everyone fair and equal access to all the information and resources out there. I've put links below explaining this more in depth, as well as the link to a website that makes it incredibly easy to contact your representatives on important issues, such as maintaining net neutrality.

Today would have been my Nana's 90th birthday. She used to tell me that she would always be in my pocket, so that I would always carry a piece of her with me wherever I went. Something my brother said after her funeral service perfectly captures how we all feel about her; he said he felt so much love that it hurt. As I'm sitting here writing this, crying, I can say that his words stand as true right now as they did that day. If guardian angels exist then I know you're mine. I love you Nana, so much that it hurts.
