My whole high school thought I was gay apparently...
...I mean they were right, but for the wrong reason! -
Originally pitched buying long socks for myself as 'the best worst idea!'
-
I swore to myself I'd shave it all if I got to 'the math teacher laurel'... -
-
-
Only later would I learn that transfolks tend to have a hard time imagining aging in their assigned gender... -

I don't think I'm a blonde, nor does hair that short suit me. -
Half a yearof deciphering coverage, looking for options, and jumping through hoops!

Blended old masc and new femme parts of my closet -
It turns out none of us knew what we were doing,
but it was still nice! -
-
-
Which explained why all my claims were fucking up

Not sure if Progesterone (known for emotional intensity), or health insurance struggles, or just 'the experience' in general.

I had never been clothes shopping with someone who wasn't family or a partner! -

I'm embarrassed how long I spent figuring out how to tie this... -
-
I definitely dressed to show off the accidental sun-tan, which was a great conversation starter! -
-
'Note: stripes over stars - this bitch is in distress!' -
Poolside fit pic -
Nerdy color-matched gaming fit took the cake, but I had 3! -

By a man of course, and an older one at that...

For easier femme presentation -

And they even fit (and surprisingly comfortably)! -

Real ID w/RMV-ass photo! I sweat my hair looked good when I left, and the wind just got me between the car and the building. -
Exploring tattooing to replace my Pride Scales -
Drive-by on my way out of my electrolysis appointment in Winchester, MA. And then later the same day a stranger alluded to me having AIDS for a 'joke.'
