One of the things I miss about Twitter that I don't see on fediverse are "invite" posts. Whether they were selfie trains, your pets, food, or whatever the topic, public invites for others to join was a great way to meet new people!

So, let's try it? Shall we?

Selfie train!!! Everyone is welcome!!😊😊

Go head and step aboard!! #selfietrain #selfies #joinin #pleasejoinin #boostsok #AddYours

Easter 2019:
I snapped the pic on the left -- my take of Billy Porter's tuxedo dress -- and all hell broke loose. I found out rather quickly who had my back and who didn't. I learned who saw me as a person, and which people insisted I serve their ego. I found a latent, sleeping assertiveness that I had to create from nothing to finally put my foot down and say "no more". The price I paid to reclaim my own identity from everyone else was rather steep.

Easter 2023:
My partner takes the photo to the right. Lots of peacock-feather-motif on the skirt and headscarf. Accepted rather than discarded. Welcomed rather than shooed away. Finding out where I really belong. Cautiously optimistic. Absorbing this new found assertiveness but my hands still shake. 6 weeks away from my 2nd HRTniversary. I'm liking the way I look, but more importantly, my brain can relax and not have to pretend that I'm some dudebro. There's more to undo, but I know this: when my folks, ex-partners, and other sycophants kept saying "I hope you get help," they really meant "I hope you give up, conform and be like me." They say they "turned out okay," but I see clearly that they're miserable. Fucking miserable.

I'd rather turn out happy.

Thanks to everyone who's had my back and support!
Happy 4th to me!

Red and black set.
I'm wearing the
leopard print ears,
black leather corset
and a floor length
black dress
over a sleeved magenta shirt
It's the best
I've looked in
A long time
I've cupid struck myself
Damn
