Gonna happypost a little - nine years on from starting hormones, I'm pretty pleased with myself & my life.

In some ways it kind of feels like I haven't changed dramatically, because I don't do makeup or dress fancy like all the freshly-trans transfemmes do, but I also feel very chill. I have shed my personally-unhealthy compulsion towards aggressively feminine clothes and commonly wear jeans and oversized men's tees, or just loose flannels/button ups. I dress for a balance of comfort and aesthetic, and the resulting androgynous-leaning-femme look is something I like. I don't even wear a bra most days, because they're UNCOMFORTABLE AND SUCK! I basically dress like a tomboy I guess, and it feels so good.

I share a home with my wife who I love, I've been out full-time for the entire time I've been on hormones, and shockingly I am building a small social circle of queer people online, which is not something I've ever had before. I'm working through issues around being asexual, I love myself & my body, I'm happy being autistic in my own space. Who I am now is who 15-year-old me desperately wanted to be. I am my own goals from a decade ago.

Also I'm gonna read Blackshirts & Reds this coming week which is gonna be awesome.
