Amᵃᵖanda2 photos from me presenting at 2 OSM conferences, 10 years apart. 🙂😁
Mouse Sky, Princess of RainbowsThese two pictures are almost exactly four years apart. The first (Content Warning: Eye Contact, pre-transition) is someone that had no idea who they were.
The second one (Content Warning: Eye contact) is a woman who has been through countless hardships, but she's so happy to be who she is.
Both of these are me, the first a year and change before I realized I was trans, the second from a week ago. I can see the difference in the smiles. I'm so much better off, despite everything that's happened in the past four years.
I'm in my early thirties. I missed living as a girl in my twenties, but now I get to live as who I am, and I'm thankful for that. I couldn't have done it without seeing other trans people living as themselves, unknowingly encouraging me to challenge my own gender identity.

Attached: 3 images Hi! I’m almost three years into transition (#TransitionTimeline of my PFPs below); I waited until I was 37 to start because I didn’t have some pretty basic info. Specifically: - Daydreaming about being the other gender isn’t something cis people do very often. But it is something #trans people do a lot before they transition. - #Transition from one gender to another can take many forms, and everyone gets to choose what transition options are right for them. - Medical transition can include taking hormones (called #HRT) that put the body through puberty a second time, this time developing the secondary sexual characteristics of a different gender. These meds are available in much of the US with only a bit of paperwork called #InformedConsent - it says you have been told what the effects will be, and confirms that you want them. It didn’t take much. Once I had those pieces, I immediately knew I wanted to transition. I won’t lie: the political situation in the US for trans people is kinda dark. I can tell you with confidence, though, that for me, I’d much rather run the risk of political violence than stay in the closet. I was killing myself slowly with alcohol and neglect. If this resonates with you, I want you to know that in my experience, trans people and trans community are the most vibrant and joyful people I’ve ever encountered. If you are discovering or accepting that you are trans, welcome. Living can be wonderful, and I want that for you. :QueerCatHeart_Trans:, Willow

jade pixelThree years ago today I stayed up all night and wrote a ~3000 word journal entry called “gender brain dump” and shared it with my therapist.
~1 month later I was on a camping trip and did a heroic dose of mushrooms and came out as trans in a poem to myself (first pic from that day in February 2023). In March I started HRT and came out to everyone (in hindsight I wish I had waited to come out for a couple months to figure out social transition before coming out).
Second pic is from last week, almost three years later. It’s been a trip.
Morale of the story, I think: do a bunch of drugs and you might realize you’re a girl, actually.
Miriam's a Menacewhat a difference a year makes
