‼️ long post alert OH BOY

Being transgender is hard, especially in countries like the US or in the Middle East, but I’m doing my best to look not at everything we risk by being transgender, openly or otherwise, but instead look at the wonderful experiences we gain. Here are some of my favorite things about being trans (I’m ftm, so some of these may be transmasc specific!):

Gender euphoria is an obvious one, but!! I’m so serious! Getting gender euphoria from tiny things especially. Taking my T shot and putting on ✨ dinosaur footprint bandaids ✨ (so boy core), my dad cutting my hair for me when it grows out too much, finding new and creative ways to bind more comfortably, and the realization that the dysphoria has finally begun to not get worse, and has instead begun to get better.

Having the experiences of two sexes! I am a man, I identify as male, but I’ve had the same experiences many young girls have all the same, and I don’t see that as a detriment! I feel like I can be so much more open minded, so much more understanding, and as someone who wants to be a therapist, being able to do that is monumental. It’s hard some days, but I like trying to embrace the “”girly”” parts of my childhood too, even though I was lucky enough to not be super confined to my past gender role as a kid by my family.

Doing things as a boy. Full stop. Baking, cooking, sewing, drawing. Doesn’t matter how simple. It is now my boy activity to do as boy. I’m not saying these are boy exclusive activities, but that they hit different when I participate in them as my preferred gender!! /pos

Being able to be gay in a relationship with men. I love my boyfriend so much, he is fantastic.

The bonus hole™️

Getting to truly own my body at the end of the day and really call it “home”. Getting to mold it to fit what I love and who I am. Understanding that my old body was not a bad one, but my new one is so much more me. And I did that. Maybe I won’t make the incision when I get top surgery, but I will guide the cut, and when it’s all said and done, my body will be really and truly mine.

The journey. I love the journey. It’s not easy. Sometimes it sucks. Sometimes I wish I was just cis. But I’ve met so many wonderful people through this journey, and formed bonds that would take the weight of mountains to shatter. I’ve experienced the joys of starting HRT. Of getting my name changed. Of getting “M” on my drivers license for the first time. So many things that cis people take for granted—a deep voice, matching genitals, etc—but also things that they will never get to experience, that are exclusive to trans people. I love that my experience is unique in that way.

Giving advice to other trans individuals. Being able to tell them it will be okay. Passing forward the knowledge that was passed down to me from so many trans people and allies before me. Protecting trans kids and giving them hope.

Comparing my experiences to trans people on the other end of the spectrum! I love it when trans mascs and trans fems trade experiences. When they help each other, and laugh together, and get along. I love my MTF friends and I love so much that the girlhood that didn’t suit me makes them so, so happy. Love the girlies out there and I wish you all the femininity you desire, or masculinity if that’s more your speed! Masc women are awesome too 😎👏

Being alive in a time when, even though things aren’t perfect, I still have spaces to be myself, and still have spaces where I know I am loved. That can’t be taken for granted and can’t be forgotten, especially today.

Never forget that you are loved, if not by anyone in your life, then by ME, goddamnit. And never forget that your experience is beautiful, worthwhile, and deserves to be listened to. Even the rough patches. Especially the rough patches. But for today, If anyone else wants to share their top five or top ten or even their one positive trans experience I would love to hear. I at least could use some more positivity right now!

Made a new blog to scream into the void. And post drawings since I'm a perfectionist who doesn't wanna post on main.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly I guess. Heres to the 100th Day 1 where I crawl back up again.

Gotta face the music (aka my overdue assignments and missed lectures and messy room and test and-)

[hazyass]

2.21 Pleasant Lies

Lexie: I don’t know what’s going on with me. I was so excited for our trip but when I got there, I just felt irritable.

Kelsey: Why, did something happen?

Lexie: Well, the only thing is that his sister bailed at the last minute and it really hurt my feelings. I don’t know, Kelsey. I’ve just been feeling out of sorts lately. I thought it was because I haven’t seen my family in a while, but now I’m not so sure.

Kelsey: Do you think maybe you didn’t want to be alone with him for that long?

Lexie: Maybe. I just feel so bad. He was so patient with me through all my crankiness and to make it worse, after all that he told me he loved me for the first time.

Kelsey: Wow, what did you say to that?

Lexie: I…said it back.

Kelsey: You sound hesitant. You meant it, right?

Lexie: Yes! No. I don’t know. 

Kelsey: Sounds like “no” to me.

Lexie: I guess I just felt like even if I don’t love him yet, I probably will soon. So why not just say it back?

Kelsey: Because you don’t tell people you love them if you don’t! What if you never feel that way about him?

Lexie: I don’t see why I wouldn’t. We have a ton in common. He makes me laugh like no one else. He’s really sweet, and I do care about him a lot. 

Kelsey: I’m sensing a “but.”

Lexie: [sighs] But there’s something in my gut that just makes me feel weird when I think about having a future with him. Maybe I’m just scared.

Kelsey: Of what, commitment?

Lexie: I don’t know. This is my first real relationship. It just started feeling so serious all of a sudden. 

Kelsey: You know monogamy isn’t the only option, right? 

Lexie: Yeah, but it’s not like I'm interested in any other guys. I’m not sure if opening the relationship would change anything.

Kelsey: Well, whatever it is, you need to be honest with him. It’s not just a one-time fib. You’ll be lying to him every time you say it. 

Lexie: I just don’t want to hurt him. He’s been through so much. I don’t want to be the reason he feels bad about himself.

Kelsey: I know, but you can’t protect him from every negative feeling. You know how they say a painful truth is better than a pleasant lie? It might hurt in the moment, but keeping the truth hidden could be worse for him in the long run.

Lexie: [sighs] It has to count for something that I want to love him, right?

Kelsey: Ok, but you don’t. And he deserves to know the truth.

Lexie: You’re right. I’ll talk to him. I just hope he takes it ok.

I hate that Tony demoted Kenta because Kenta didn't even get to make that choice himself. Like, I wanted him to leave on his own accord. I wanted him to decide that his life is worth more, that he will no longer tolerate Tony's abuse or - at the very least - that Tony is causing too much harm to others and needs to be stopped. Now, if Kenta stands up to him and helps his brothers (which I'm not even sure he will do), it's a reaction to him already having lost everything, it's not an active choice to rebel against Tony. If that makes sense?

i was getting ready for work when the email came and the way i JUMPED. Devoured that chapter with my breakfast at 5 am. I genuinely love your writing style so much.

I just wanted to ask, am I going delusional or was this chapter a slight turning point in the right direction? Like i feel like yohan is slowly but surely losing his ability to be nonchalant. But again, it could also just be my delusion born out of desperation.

Thank you so much for this wonderful wonderful chapter, I hope you're doing well love. Please take care of yourself and take your time with the next, we'll be here to support regardless💗

I'm happy to hear that I could give you something to read over breakfast! Especially at 5 AM. That's... very early 😂

And things are changing, yes, slowly but surely. But I will leave it unsaid if it's for the better because I think that depends on your angle. The fact that Yo Han is finding it harder to be nonchalant isn't necessarily a good thing, you know? Since it might just make him retreat even further to avoid feeling vulnerable.

Long story short, there's a lot going on in both Ga On and Yo Han's heads and they're in a pretty delicate position — Yo Han more so than Ga On. Because Yo Han is trying to navigate hurt and boundaries he's not used to, nor has Ga On verbalised them in a way that makes it clear to Yo Han what's actually expected of him. And that makes him more wary.

But, with that said, remember that the ball is in Ga On's court and he's not exactly doing well when it comes to convincing himself that he made the right decision. He is the one who will have to reach a turning point and decide to actually solve this. And how much longer do you think he'll last with all these thoughts and all this yearning he's feeling? He's not exactly known for his patience and level head 😆

So stayed tuned, I guess? 😉

Thank you so much for the ask and well wishes! Things are... manageable? Well, aside from the pain of removing a wisdom tooth earlier today. It's not as bad as some warned me that it would be, but it's definitely not comfortable, even with the painkillers.

So yeah! Life continues! And we'll see when the next chapter comes. I have to focus on sprucing up and preparing to sell the house. Which, unsurprisingly, is very time-consuming and exhausting. So we'll see.

Thank you again and please take care 💜
