gluten free baking

made some gluten free and lactose free cream puffs recently. The dairy free heavy whipping cream didn't stay stabilized very well. I'll have to try carnation version see if it's any better. Other than that, the gluten free flour and ghee worked great for choux pastry.

The idea that trans women are just like, cosplaying women or something for some ulterior motive is so utterly absurd to me, especially when I consider what I and so many other trans women value most in our transitions, which really is the mundane. I don’t just “pretend” to be a woman in public, I am a woman always, and it’s at home when I am just doing the same things I have always done that I feel most fulfilled in my transition, like cooking dinner or lounging in my pyjamas or doing homework. I did not transition for some supposed social advantage but because my coffee tastes sweeter through the lips of the woman I am than the man I tried to be.

This was my last cake made before leaving Oregon. It was 4 layers of chiffon cake, 2 layers of white chocolate mousse, and a layer of lemon curd. Covered in a basic buttercream and then I piped the flowers and borders. A very heavy but yummy cake.

My second attempt at Gluten free bread. Two of my GF's are gluten intolerant. It's really moist and flavorful. Though it is a bit dense. Maybe reducing the hydration % on it.

Acceptance

I've been transitioning for 2.5 years. Starting at 52 years old. Recently I started a new job after traveling cross country. I talked to HR and told them I was a transwoman and wanted to be called by she/her pronouns. They told me OK and gave me a locker in the women's locker room. There is 2 unisex bathrooms across the warehouse on a second floor. I used those for 2 months not wanting to make others uncomfortable. Never entering the locker room/restroom for ladies.

Then a couple weeks ago I made myself use the locker room. I had all sorts of negative fears running through my head. But I wouldn't make it to the unisex restroom. All the negative things I was afraid would happen, never occurred. Things like the other ladies asking me to leave. I was so nervous. I told a couple ladies I was nervous, and they asked why. The said I had a right to be there and not worry. They all treat me like one of the other women.

The cis women at work had no problem accepting me. It was me who had to learn to accept myself. Allowing myself permission to be in those spaces I do in fact belong. I've found that women in general are more accepting of others than men are. I still have a long way to go in my transition, but I'm happy finally being myself.
