Went to a winery today to enjoy some wine and the beautiful weather. The sun was so bright that it washes my fair skin out (but it washes out the wrinkles too lol). Have a beautiful day!

sorry for my messy hair hehe

Finally told the teacher I will only be taking class in tights and a leotard and will soon be starting HRT.

I just got my new ID in the mail with my new name and my gender marker. I feel like the last few months have been a blur. Im sitting here about to go in for my 4th laser session today and it really hit me how far ive come. It felt like i would never get here. Im not the most passable but I get gendered correctly most of the time. I think im pretty, im starting to get my wardrobe locked down, im pretty decent with make up at this point and after 2 1/2 years of hrt my body is starting to really change.

Ive been a remodeling contractor for 15 years and ive kind of been loosing interest in what I do. Ive started really thinking about changing careers. It has me worried because I have a son from another relationship and my wife is disabled so I am the main bread winner in my house. Its been difficult to juggle everything and as im sure you all already know the economy sucks right now. I just finished writing my resume this week and filled out 3 applications so far for sales jobs using my new name ect. Im praying and hoping I can pull this off. I need a change so bad.

I've over come, and endured so so much. Even before my transition I was tough. You kind of have to be to survive being a remodeling contractor. Ive never let anything keep me down for long and have always been a high achiever/problem solver. Before my transition I buried myself in my work and was 100% obessed with being a sucessful contractor. I worked for years with barely any days off. I missed family functions and generally wasted my 20s chasing soemthing i thought was going to make me happy. Im nervous this time. Will I be able to find a job? Will they hire someone thats been self employed for 15 years? Will they hire me when they see im trans? It hits different when you have people relying on you.

Im just happy I have my identity. Its real, its documented, and im so grateful to live in a state that doesnt attack and pass legislation against trans people. I get to apply for jobs as my true self and thats amazing. I think I need to write in my gratitude journal more often, I need to stop and appreciate both the big and the little things in life and in my transition. This feels like a new chapter/fork in the road moment and I just hope I make the right decisions. I dont know where I going with this but im happy I have a community to share my experience with. You are all amazing and no matter what happens we all have eachother and I want to be here for my community too 💚

#MalayoPa: My transition journey has never been easy. It’s been filled with highs and lows, moments of confidence followed by fear, doubt, and emotional exhaustion. There were times when my emotions became so overwhelming that I could barely handle them. I remember pulling myself back again and again, questioning everything, trying to convince myself to stop because the process felt too hard, too painful, too uncertain. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t keep running from who I truly was. In the end, I finally told myself: let’s do this.

The hard truth about transitioning is that people often only see the final result, not the struggle behind it. They don’t see the sleepless nights, the loneliness, the anxiety, the fear of rejection, or the constant battle inside your own mind. Transitioning doesn’t magically solve every problem in life. It can test your mental strength, your relationships, your patience, and even your sense of identity. Some days you feel empowered, and other days you feel completely lost. There are sacrifices, uncomfortable conversations, and moments where you wonder if anyone truly understands what you’re going through.

But despite all of that, there’s also something powerful about finally choosing yourself. Transitioning is not about becoming someone else but it’s about finally allowing yourself to exist honestly, even when the journey is difficult. And sometimes, surviving those hardest moments becomes proof of just how strong you really are. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

I've been transitioning for a year and people are starting to use "She/Her" pronouns! A few weeks ago a couple woman thought I was AFAB at the nightclub. They thought I was a lesbian lol. The transition is going well! My breasts getting bigger seem to help with passing.🥰☯️🏴
