Big news today: my Gender Recognition Certificate has been granted! Admittedly the For (like barely a handful of) Women Scotland ruling makes it less useful, but it's still a huge win!

Trans ppl who can't medically transition despite dysphoria are awesome and strong and an inspiration!

We're living proof, whether we want to be or not, that body ≠ gender. And that we're stronger than dysphoria.

Some of us are pre-transition, but some of us don't think it'll ever be possible. We persist. And we insist on our inalienable rights.

I had another good interaction with a client today. I do restoration woodworking and basic repair on older houses in my area, so my clients are mostly older white homeowners. When I first started doing this around a year ago I was always nervous because imo I'm pretty visibly trans and this demographic is pretty typically conservative.

The client I met today didn't hesitate to shake my hand or act surprised at my voice. She was mostly concerned about what this particular job would cost, and was relieved when it was in her price range. super relatable lol

anyway, I just got to thinking about back when I was still in the closet in high school and I thought that it would never be possible to transition and be "normal." like have regular interactions without people tiptoeing around weird ol' me. even in these trying times, I'm glad I gave myself a chance

This weekend has been the first in a long time where I’ve experienced #transjoy. I felt confident enough to dress feminine and go out into a city centre, and having strangers gender me correctly without needing to know any of my background. Sometimes I worry I’m wrong, but after this weekend, I feel happier in myself.

So yesterday myself and @GwenDragon both went out to the North Yorkshire coast and for the first time in quite a while I went dressed femme. Apart from maybe the interesting choice of outfit (tights on shorts in a reasonably cold wind), no one actually noticed/cared. I certainly didn’t notice any one staring nor did I overhear anyone commenting on the fact I’m trans.

I must remember this when I need some confidence.

I had a spontaneous thought from out of nowhere earlier that I thought I would share.

Here's the thought..

I'm a fluid woman, I like my body, I feel good in my body, and I dress how I want, regardless of what my identity says. I'm happy being trans, and happy being me. I'm not sure where that came from, but I'm glad the thought was there, and even more so that I was able to acknowledge it and live in that moment. #Trans #transpositivity #transpositive #me

I keep thinking that people see me as male (or “that I don't pass” to put it another way).

But then people keep treating me as if they see me as female… So that's great! 🙂

What's a cool #queer, #transpositive #anime? I'm in the mood for some anime but I'm not in the mood for the same old stereotypes.

I do enjoy well animated stuff. I liked #caroleandtuesday (even though it is a bit problematic in parts) and #yourlieinapril. I also liked #edgerunner.

Looking for recommendations of trans positive sci-fi and fantasy novels.

Thanks!
