The other day a doctor tried to blame my orthostatic intolerance on my height...

I mean, it's tall for a woman, so... gender affirmation by medical gaslighting??

@miriamrobern I may be delusional, but I swear some days the stars align (in the form of tight jeans, figure-hugging t-shirt, and underwire bra), and I get multiple middle-aged men looking me up and down as I go about my errands.

A little bit of #ewphoria now and then isn't entirely tiresome.

Did my usual f&v run to the Queen Vic Market this morning, and I may just be a little too full of myself, but…

I don't usually like to go out in a figure-hugging t-shirt without a jacket because it feels a bit too revealing, but it was hot.

I swear that on no fewer than two occasions I caught a middle-aged man checking me out. Not the usual "Oh! Trans," double-take, but a sitcom-style clearly telegraphed looking me up and down.

Not sure how I feel about that. More data required.

Men are correcting me about things I know more than them about.

It's so gender affirming! 😂😭

The term for this is apparently #ewphoria

Callow wingman 1, coming into earshot: “… he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do.”
Callow youth, “tripping” in the sand beside me: “I fell for you! Hey, miss, I fell for you.”
Callow wingman 2: “Oh shit that’s a mom!”

My children judged him.

Guess who forgot her noise cancelling headphones and got catcalled on the way into the train station?

aaaaand now i know what its like to walk through a bar and have a whole bunch of people watch me go from one side to the other. thats… interesting and gratifying and unsettling all at once.

florida man is not subtle, geez.

a little #ewphoria but mostly #TransJoy

so I was at work (where it is full on boymode for me, like hair tied up, extremely unflattering work uniform) and i am at the till putting things away with another member of staff sitting next to me serving customers and this youngish (younger than me) guy walks up to us and is like "which of the two pretty ladies should i choose to serve me hmmm? 😏"

like wtf lol, who says stuff like that #ewphoria

On a relatively warm and definitely soggy evening, running around and being all stronk definitely led to me being sweaty, which I'm delighted to learn smells different than it had all my life.

Still stinky, yes, objectively probably moreso than before, but it's so different and my reaction to it is so different.

I still jumped in the shower as soon as we got home, but I was smiling when I did.
