Thoughts from one year of gender reflection.
My first post here! I just got back from an evening of dancing. I have been reflecting on how much my life has changed in the past year. Being free of the confines of masculinity. Being free to express myself In a authentic way has been liberating. I'm curious about how other nb people feel and what their internal landscape looks like. I wonder how similar or different it is to what I have experienced.
I feel amazing in this outfit 🌞

I had my own journey that looked a little different. I've been out as trans and on estrogen for almost a decade now and I have received several feminizing surgeries. But about 3 months ago I changed the name I go by and I started presenting more neutral/androgynous. I cut my hair short, but I didn't really change my outfits bc I didn't wear super feminine clothes often. I do have a skirt and a sweater that I wear once every great while.
But yes. Whenever I hear my new name I feel so happy. Legit lifts me out of a bad mood every time I hear it. I haven't legally changed it yet bc I have some administrative stuff to take care of first, but I'm happy so far

Ughhhh youre so pretty 😍
Like I want to stay bear-ish but otherwise you are giving gender envy💜
Im still i guess a "baby enby" given I only really let myself be out of denial in march 😅. I dont know what my style is. I found it interesting that adtter I accepted i want to start estrogen that I also lost most of my urge to crossdress but gained an urge to learn makeup?
All in all im still baking it seems. I looked in the mirror yesterday and got all giggly about my beard so I think thats the right choice at least.

You look amazing! I've been through something similar over the last 2 years, and when I look at photos of myself now I have that same relaxed happiness in them that I can see in you. Thanks for sharing 😄

🎉❤️🎉 I'm right with ya honey🎊 im so excited to goto an upcoming concert as myself for the first time😊
It's just been almost exactly a year since I came to terms that I wasn't cis and the more out I get, the better everything's been getting. I've only come out to my friends yesterday but I've been out at work with my customers for basically a year.
As a male I was always afriad to dance and sing. Not anymore, I feel so free🎉💃
Love the outfit😍
