transition update!

It's been a looong ass time since i touched tumblr, especially my progress blog. Here's what happened so far:

- In the process of changing my legal name. Court was easy, its the changing gender marker that's the problem. Just means I have to go through some shit to change my ID twice. THEN I can update my banks, work, ect.,

SSN came in real quick! Loving my name!

Top surgery is scheduled for next April still, still need to redo WPATH cause it expires next year rip

Haven't been she/her'd in a bit, only time where it happened recently is when I was wearing a mask.

Neck beard is coming in pretty strong, it's starting to get up to my chin now.

Still more new hair growing everywhere, will be Wolfman by the time I'm done cooking

I have noticed some muscle mass, it's pretty cool, just have to get into the habit of working out

No more mood swings or periods since I've started HRT, still continuing to be pretty much happy or neutral every day :)

1.3 years on T!

I haven't posted here in forever. So much has happened.

First of all I'm engaged to a wonderful man 💜, second, my beard is finally filling in. I can't wait to have a goatee. Progress pics soon.

As far as changes go bottom growth continues. I'm still getting new hair everywhere. I'm becoming the next sasquach tbh. My tastes have changed and I love onions now. I also don't cry anymore.

Maybe it's a side effect of being trans but I also love fallout new vegas.

And for trans visibility day I made cake pops and cookie dough truffles! My partner helped.

For my T day (manniversary), my fiancé got me a shaving and beard care kit. I love it.

As far as my mental health goes, I didn't expect T to make ms feel stable. I've never been this content. I used to be sad and angry all the time, a little manic. I'm free to be myself now. It's awesome. I don't struggle with depression anymore. I haven't since I started.

Also no periods rocks🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

i want y’all to know i got my top surgery at ~270 pounds and it looks fucking fine like you are not too fat to get top surgery and have it be flat and nice and feel better

Im too tired to bring this meme into existance so someone else please do it:

The cat in the hat movie format where hes about to hit a child with a bat

The child is labled "middle school me" and saying "I guess I like girls too. Am I a lesbian or something?"

Cat in the hat is labeled "or something (bi transman)"

im excited to get top surgery bc oh blah blah disphoria back pain slouching not a girl but mainly because i have been planning for over a year a joke thats about to pay off:

my family does not know i am getting surgery so i made sure to get all the same bathings suits i wore last year in a new size and just straight up gas light my aunt about it

So I've been on T for about 4 months now, the changes have been awesome!

My voice is a lot deeper now, but I crack like fucking glass when I raise it. Can't even excitedly say hi to my cats lmao

The hair!! NEW LEG HAIR!! I never shaved my legs before T and I can see every little new hair come in, dark and getting longer by the week. My stomach has way more hair too and the hairs on my chest are even getting longer. It's so wild. One place I wasn't expecting though was my ass crack??? Didn't know that was gonna get hair too.

My mustache is growing in nice and my beard is 1% finished, I'll have to trim what little hairs I got lol. Despite the facial hair, the voice, the haircut, my pronoun and trans pins on my lab coat, people still refer to me as she??

I also came out at work on trans visibility day and I feel great. I'll work on correcting people when they misgender me from now on.

I know T makes you gain weight and it's been a battle keeping me under 170 lbs, I mean damn. The boys were right though, working out helps a ton.

Anyway, that's the journey so far (without going full tmi). Hope everyone's having a great day

hey does anyone else get the thing where you manage to temporarily forget that you are closeted, you have tiddies, and it's not socially acceptable to go around shirtless if you have tiddies, and almost walk out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel around your waist before you remember?

yeah

Sure, detransition is real. The vast majority of people who detransition do so because of trans antagonism, not because they were pressured into transitioning in the first place. Most of the detransitioners I know are fully supportive of the trans community. Many of them even plan on transitioning again later in life.

Nearly missed the milestone ‘cause I didn’t look at my calendar but today marks 3 years since my top surgery! 🏳️‍⚧️🥳
