I choose to be a trans and I'm proud of what I'm becoming

Now my partner is taking me out for a big bowl of noodles and a cheeky shopping trip n.n

Going out last evening was much needed. Not because I was meeting up with friends or any special event. It was for me. To continue learning to be comfortable and confident as myself without worrying about the rest of the World. People were kind as usual, but the biggest accomplishment for me was just being my authentic self among others who were doing the same. I used to always be uncomfortable in a crowd and the thought of being alone and not knowing others would have given me anxiety for sure. All of that has changed which was unexpected growth for me. It makes sense that I always felt uncomfortable before. Spending all of those years trying to be something I wasn’t was stressful. Never liking myself. Never feeling like I fit in.

So glad I finally get to be me. No permission, approval, or acceptance required. That’s freedom

This study aims to explore queer viewers’ own perceptions of what makes good queer representation in television, using a one-on-one interview over Zoom. Participation involves a short online survey, followed by a 30-minute online interview about what good queer TV representation means to you. The study will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, and participants will be entered in a draw with a chance of winning a $50 gift card. To participate, you must identify as LGBTQIA2S+ and watch TV. The audio of the interview will be recorded for transcription purposes but will be deleted following this process.

Hi yall! Long time lurker, but I think it’s my first time posting 😘

But im feeling beautiful. Almost at the middle mark of my 30s and feel happy. Despite everything. And in the end, that's all I could ever ask for.

Prior to transitioning, much of my life always seemed to operate on high highs or low lows. The idea of being even keel was not familiar to me nor comfortable.

Since coming out, I have started to learn to slow my mind down and to try and stay in the moment. Not every day is going to feel euphoric. Some days are going to be flat. Other days will be tough, but if I can remember that all of this will pass and that I just need to be okay with myself and stay the course, transitioning gets a little easier.

I don’t have to be the raw nerve I once was and react to everything around me. I don’t need to constantly seek approval from others. I don’t have to always worry about fitting in. Self care centered on acceptance and doing what I need to do for myself vs trying to please everyone else has been key.

So although I don’t always look like I am glowing the way I did when my egg just cracked, I can take comfort that I don’t ever have to go back to my old life. Progressing one day at a time

I wouldn't want to be a bad girl and get in trouble now would I
