Not linear, not perfect, not the same for everyone. As I get closer to 30, I’ve gotten cozier in my body. Like a home I’ve taken a while to renovate, paint, and care for. I’m not in the best shape. I have things to work on. But I hope to always have things to work on & maintenance to keep up on. I think finally between gender presentation, my body shape, my hair, and all the other bits that make me who I am - I’m finally starting to feel like this house is a home.

Went from a faded green, bleached out, and now a soft red - might go more natural auburn once I’ve given my hair time to rest. What do we think? Also do you know a shade of red/orange/auburn that would suit me better?

Something hit me yesterday where I started to feel gorgeous for the first time in a while. Like I wasn’t just telling myself “hey be kind, hey tell yourself you’re pretty” - but it just started to feel more natural? If that makes sense. Felt even better throwing on a hoodie and shorts after. Maybe I am starting to like myself?

Edit: Happy pride month & thank you to everyone who commented. This was extremely validating, and I think I just had a moment of insecurity last night. It meant a lot to wake up to all of these comments. Thank you all so much!! 🫶🫶🫶

I guess I’m confused? I’m almost 30 & I’ve been out as transmasc since I was 15. I came out as nonbinary when I was 17 or 18. I regularly refer to myself as trans/queer/GQ/nonbinary interchangeably. I was on T for about a year, like the changes I’ve had, and had to stop for medical reasons. I may get back on it. I’m a DDD & rarely bind due to discomfort & my current job. I’ve come across a few posts stating that the community doesn’t view nonbinary people as trans unless they are currently medically transitioning and/or dress as their not assigned gender at birth. Maybe I’m getting old & outdated. Maybe I’m wrong for how I’ve been identifying? Do I not qualify as trans?

I’ve always fluctuated weight wise, but I’m really proud of myself recently for focusing on getting stronger not just shrinking! I’ve started posting publicly on Snap with daily affirmations to keep myself and others motivated. What’s your favorite affirmation you give yourself? 🖤

Couple different options to choose between! Thank you in advance!!
