Sending your book off to agents is always scary. It’s like shouting into the void, and hoping the art you created will move someone enough to read it, and want to sell it.

2 steps forward and 1 step back is still forward progress.

to whoever needs to hear it: don’t wait around for the “perfect time” to start transitioning because there’s no such thing. the best time to transition is now

1. A groundbreaking new study published in Nature Medicine shows that feminizing hormone therapy shifts trans women's blood protein to resemble cis women after only 6 months. HRT really is effective and changes the human body heaivly. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I knew when I was 3 years old I was a women. I survived conversion camps/therapy. Now I get to transition into the women I always was. I pray for a day that parents will be supportive, that kids will be able to get on blockers and hrt and I will never stop fighting for that day.

Whoever said “beauty is pain” must’ve been talking about laser hair removal. Had my first session and it felt like a million bees stinging my face. #cantwaitformore #transrights #laserhairremovel

Good morning!! Another day alive, another day transitioning. Another day of allowing myself to fight for who I am. To anyone who needs to hear it. You are loved, you are valid, your truth, is the truth. 💖🏳️‍⚧️💖🏳️‍⚧️💖

Ready to send my book off to agents. It’s always a scary step, compiling a list, sending it off to the void and then waiting to hear back or not. Much love to all the aspiring writers and authors out there. 💖

Learning that even when you go to a dr to get prescribed HRT after doing DIY and everything, they will still try to gate keep you and start you on a smaller dose. Finally getting back to a good dose, and looking to switch Drs, but having too small of a dose of hrt def messes with emotions

when you’re playing Bo Nix in the first three quarters/when you’re playing Bo Nix in the fourth quarter

And that’s how you win. I never doubted the Broncos. Not once. I BO-lieve!! (Okay, maybe I had a few doubts)

Been sick all week. Still not feeling great. And watching the Broncos isn’t helping me feel any better.

1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally. Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however. Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers. Subscribe to support our journalism.

If anyone has any recommendations for laser hair removal for trans women in Houston let me know. Looking for a good safe place that takes insurance. ❤️ much love. Please share too if any of your friends know of any place too.

It’s national coming out day. Only out to a few people in person and online. But to everyone out, to everyone staying safe until you can safely come out. You’re doing amazing. And I love you. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Standing in the face of transphobia and continues to move forward is such strength. It doesn’t take much to be kind, but to deal with hate everyday for just being you, and continuing to be you in the face of complete transphobia is so powerful. To everyone out there, I love you, and see you.

Love to see it. Also if you haven’t yet, subscribe to Erin, she is amazing and is a great place to stay up to date on the news.

Same, could not have said it better.

I’m not sharing my story for sympathy. I’m sharing it because I know how hard it is to feel alone in the dark. If my words help just one person keep going, that’s everything. This is my way of turning pain into power.

Good Morning Resistance

Let’s see Ken Paxton come at me. I’ve been a girl since the day I was born. I was cursed with a penis, but that never made me a man. I have always been a women. And now that I have been on hrt for 3 months, anyone who thinks this is a choice… It’s not. I love you all, our voice is our strength.

Just know that “conversion therapy” is three incoherent pseudoscientific ramblings standing on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat. It’s not therapeutic (it doesn’t help, does net harm), it doesn’t convert (practically no “success” documented), and it should absolutely be banned.

Sometimes when all seems hopeless the best thing to do it out the phone down and spend some time with someone you care about. Like I do it all the time, feel like I have to live with my phone in my hand so I can keep up with the insanity. To anyone who needs it right now, I love you and see you❤️

Our voice is our power. Sharing your story gives you power. I survived “conversion camps and conversion treatments/therapy” And to call it anything less than torture would be a disservice to what I survived. I am here now, I am proud, and now I can use my voice. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Nice to see the #Broncos win. So strange that some things I did learn to love while I cosplayed as a man for most of my life. 🏳️‍⚧️ Go Broncos!! ❤️

Some days are going to be really tough. And on those days we will survive and keep figuring it out. Choose love, not hate. Spread kindness, and joy. ❤️

Being trans could be so easy, but the world wants to make us the enemy. All we want to do is live the life we are always meant to live. It’s that simple. I love you all.

One of the coolest things about being on the correct hormone, walking past the mirror and starting to recognize yourself. It truly is a beautiful thing to start feeling at home in one’s own body. I love you all, keep fighting the good fight. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

The pendulum always swings back. History bends towards justice, always and forever. Get outside, talk to people around you. We will make it through this, watch. Take action, spread compassion, make it so our worth is undeniable. Let people get to know you. Take care of yourself, I love you 💜🫶🏻

Just by existing in this world we are resistance fighters. When your very existence is threatened, and you continue to fight for yourself, fight for others, fight for your very existence. There is a sad beauty in it. And for anyone struggling today, I see you, I love you, I’m here for you. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just switched from DIY gel, to DR prescribed HRT injections. And my fear of needles dwindled so fast, because that’s the hormone I’m supposed to be on. Yeah it took a week of staring at the needles, but finally just got the nerve to do it. And it is way easier than I thought it would be. 🏳️‍⚧️

What some people have a hard time understanding is that I was never a man, I was given a man’s body, but I have always been a women. Just because I had to go through male puberty did not make me into a man. I have always been a women, and I will always be a women. I love you all.

HRT is magic. I never knew my mind could be so clear. Like is didn’t even know how much brain fog I had lived with. 35 years of depression, and brain fog, now it’s gone. I still have depression, but it’s not crippling, I can go out in the world. Yes, maybe my body still causes me dysphoria but

One of my favorite things is having the trans flag on my water bottle. I’m still boy moding at work cause of how I look (it’s getting closer to me coming out) And one of my co-workers asked. “Ally or member?” And being able to share with them who I actually am, and they could actually see me

My power comes from my voice. It is scary out there, but if we all speak up and speak the truth they cannot silence us. I love you all, I’m here for you, and together we are so strong.

Sometimes all we have our are words. Sometimes it feels like I’m just shouting into the wind. But even if it’s just me who gains strength from my own shouting that is enough. I am trans, I am proud. I love me. I love you. And we have got this. Just keep moving forward.

Tough day today. But even on the toughest days we have to keep going. Keep moving forward. If you had a tough day today, or even if you had a god day today. I love you. I see you. And we have got this

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes. Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants. Here is your shutdown guide. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Good morning lovelies! I just want to say, you are loved, you are valid, and your journey is valid. Together we are strong. I love you all, and hope you all have a great day.

Anyone who still transitions in this political climate is a hero. And if you are not comfortable or in a safe space to start I understand. I see you and I love you. We are strong together.
