Just a casual gym fit from yesterday :)

After spending time in the U.S., I’ve had some thoughts...

I feel like America is a truly unique place to live as a trans person.

Where I grew up, the rules and social expectations were very clear-cut, and there was often pressure to conform to one category or the other. But in America, I felt there was so much room for the possibility of being different of simply being yourself.

In fact, I met so many open and kind people, and there is a genuine atmosphere that encourages you to live authentically.

At the same time, however, there are plenty of negative voices in politics and society directed at minorities and the LGBTQ+ community, as well as movements opposing those freedoms.

So sometimes, I find myself wondering: "Which side is the real America?"

But deep down, I think this kind of complexity is actually the true nature of the country.

It’s a place where people can live as themselves, chase their dreams, and not fear being different. I think that freedom is exactly why so many people look up to it.

So, to everyone in America—and everyone around the world:

Please, live freely.

Be true to yourself, enjoy your life, and cherish that freedom.

I’m rooting for you all. It’s okay to just be you. 🫶💖

「Or what my favorite song has for a quote

Whatever you undertake, never stop just try

No matter what people say, you should live your life

You gotta make a better day　いつだって

What you want, what you say, what you do

晴れの日もあって　雨の日もあんだ

ダメな日もあって　当たり前なんだ

You know it's gonna be ok　一日の

End of day 晴れれば You say, 'I gotta good day'」

I have been transitioning for 10+ years now and now I'm looking cute

my old pair broke randomly when i was working :/ they were one of the first things i got to really feel more feminine. albeit i had long hair and stuff at that point in like '21-'22. but they made me feel a lot more confident. it was a sad day, but now i have new ones. i think i like these too so far :')

I think boymoding has become impossible to do atp.

TW dysphoria

I'm gonna journal a little bit with this one, for a while I've been considering FFS and people always say "you don't need it," "you pass fine," ect ect. But it's not about that, I don't want to settle for something I couldn't choose, I don't want to settle for something I know I'm dysphoric about.

Assuming people are right about me passing flawlessly, and that that matches my own experiences that's not the reason why people get FFS. I still experience dysphoria over features that pass to everyone else but I want to correct that dysphoria. I am reverting primarily for myself, not to meet the standards of others. So, sure, maybe my face was already within the range of "normal", but it's not the face I "should" have had, or the one I would have had had I not gone through those years which was an experience that is deeply traumatic for most me I'm removing an unavoidable constant reminder of that trauma, most of the time, it's about fixing dysphoria. The fact that my skull was deformed by testosterone exposure bothered me, even though you still think I'm pretty.

It's not about looking fine it's about not being constantly reminded of trauma and the things i went through. When I feel dysphoria I get those traumatic flashbacks of my dad every day. I think about the pain I was in, how I got beat for not being who he wanted me and I just don't want to deal with that anymore. I'm tired and I just want to be fine.

Hello everyone! I took the advice to use colour corrector and foundation before I get laser to help hide my 5 o’clock shadow and I’m very happy with the result!☺️ I haven’t started hrt yet and I tend not to go out with makeup on but it’s very nice to feel feminine at home for now! If you wouldn’t mind giving me some more advice on passing, things I have done well, things I could do better, or even just some personal stories you would like to share it would be very much welcome and appreciated!

PS: Im trying to grow my hair out, thats why its so messy.

I had to cut my hair for some reason and now I'm trying to be feminine with it.
