Taken a step back: the struggles of trans travel - Narrative Curiosity

Traveling to Bali I spent 2 weeks mostly boymoding which highlights some of the struggles of trans travel. Despite the hardship there were plenty of positives along the way.

It has been a very complicated few days. Have been pseudo boymoding as I am overseas on a family holiday. This has seemingly helped some things go smoothly as we get perceived as a normal hetro family and lower my wife stress (which is important since it was a birthday present).

However, it has meant that while I am enjoying the time away, seeing the sight and having new experiences i do find myself regularly confronted with some negative thoughts.

Today, I thankfully managed to break the shackes a little and head out on my own, a bit more myself, which was a start. Being currently gendered for the first time in days was fantastic as I was able to buy a new skirt. Hopefully, it is enough to get me through the next 5 days. #trans #transabroud #transtravel
