So today is the anniversary of me realizing I'm trans. 5 years ago is when I'd finally figured out the obvious with help from a friend who is still to this day one if the people I'm closest with.

Even more than usual, it's making me look back and think about how much progress I've made in that time, even if I wish it could've been more. I'm still proud of everything I've managed to do in an attempt to be myself

I mean, I can actually look at pictures of myself and like them??? That's crazy

This is probably the year where it really feels like I've made the most progress. It's the first Transiversary where I've been out to my entire family.

I've been taking HRT for over a year now.

AND I actually have people who I can spend time with and be myself around in person. Which is a massive improvement over the otherwise nothing I've gotten since 2019

I'm pleased to be looking back at this point in time and for the first time really taking in just how much better my life is.

In 2019 for months I was crying myself to sleep every night because I "wasn't a girl" while purposely not mentioning my gender to online friends because they assumed I was a girl and I liked being treated that way.

Whereas now I look HOT, not only get to live as the girl I am, but be genuinely happy to be trans. With the extra appreciation it gives me, and the relationships I've made because I'm trans that I wouldn't have made otherwise.

This was probably a bit much but I'm tired and felt like being sentimental and maybe this'll encourage others to think about how much they've really done.

So happy 5th Transiversary to me. I look forward to continuing to be myself

Five years out of the closet as of yesterday. 🥳 Laurel Lightfoot continues to be the closest thing to transition goals that I have.

I can't believe that today marks two years since I realized I was trans. I'm a lot further along than I was then, but I still have a long way to go. Here's to many more!

More Ramblings!

I forgot to tell you, my friends, that this May 10th or 11th marked 10 (ten) whole years since I first came out as a trans man!

(Im open to asks/questions/new friends, i believe education is an important part of the path to acceptance)

TL;DR: trans kids become trans adults, trans kids you absolutely fucking belong on this planet and you are loved and cherished, if not by your own family then by me bc im adopting you now as your older brother. My experience as a trans man is below the cut

I came out at the age of 11, back in early 2014, just before trans ppl and bathrooms had really started to catch the eye of the general public.

My dad was quick to support my medical transition, and while my ma took a moment, she got there. My dad ended up only really supporting me if i matched his machismo ideals, but this has gotten a lot better over the years.

I have been extremely INCREDIBLY lucky to be able to come out and successfully begin my transition at such a young age and every day im grateful for that. That being said, I lost a lot of family because of it. I lost close and important friendships because of it. I felt shame for such a long ass time because of it. I was bullied by students, parents, and teachers. I've been assaulted, Ive faced medical discrimination numerous times, I was the first trans patient at this psych ward i went to and got weird treatment. I have struggled a lot with feeling like i belong in this world. And now at the age of 21 I still do sometimes.

But

With all the bad things that've happened.

The family that stayed ive grown closer with. The new friends i FINALLY made in college are so incredibly supportive and I'm lucky that most of them are also trans or queer in some way (most of my friends are long distance but idc theyre my best friends). I wouldnt trade them for the world. I I havent had a typical teen experience but I've gotten to lead important projects for the safety of trans students at my high school, I've been a part of my university's qsa, I've gotten to serve on a panel for GLSEN Los Angeles where I worked with city officials on how to make la safer for trans/nb people. I've had my art about being trans get into galleries and I've won a couple awards for it. I get to attend other queer events near me and sell my art there and meet other queer folks in a town that's not a super safe place to be queer in.

I've gotten to see people grow and change their opinions on trans ppl bc now they know one and understand the concept better. Ive gotten the absolutely honor of people telling me that because I'm so open about myself that they began to feel comfortable exploring more about thelmselves.

I've lived more in these past 10 years than a lot of people will in 20. And as hard as its been I'm so FUCKING proud of how far I've come and I can't wait for the next 10.

It's not always glamorous, it's fucking hard as hell. For a long while I'd trade being a trans man for being a cis woman in a heartbeat, but now I wouldn't trade being trans for the world.

official confirm, transiversary is Sep 18.

Like I heard the phrase “symptoms of being a girl include wanting to be a girl” MONTHS ago and tonight’s the first night I’ve just thought

“you know what, yeah. I do!”

It's both happy birthday and happy transiversary for me today, since it's also the anniversary of me starting hrt now. 3 years, and that guy on the left looks more like a distant relative at best.

Happy life day my dearest ❤

I swear I posted this but it's gone, sooo...

TRANSITION TIME-LINE UPDATE!!

Middle left- 3 months (1 month pre hrt), middle right- 1 year
