15 years on hormones as of this August. Alot of times I didn't think I'd make it. Now I'm almost 40 and still finding little times in my day that make me happy.

Not sure what the point of this post is. Just, that I'm happy I'm still here. And I'm happy I found this community! You're all so sweet.

True joy in us just existing, which seems like a more radical thing every day.

I really appreciate your post! It is really hopeful for me to see someone so beautiful like you who has been doing the trans thing for so long. It makes me feel like I can do it too πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Oh gosh, thank you. ❀️ It simultaneously feels like it was no time at all, and way too long. Idk, I guess that's most things!

Youre so beautiful!! Omg i love the tats and the makeup and the hair and just 😍😍😍

This is such a great post, give girlies like me the confidence to know itll work out in the end, even when we feel our most dysphoric. Its puberty, its a marathon not a race.

Also just amazing to see you living your life at nearly 40! We didnt get to do that in the past unfortunately and it fills my heart with joy everytime i see over 30 or over 40 women out living their best lives. Its so hope inspiring πŸ₯°

Awesome post sis, and maybe stick around awhile! Not sure ive seen you around, but im glad youre here ❀️❀️

Aaaaa thank youuuuu. 😭

It really is a marathon, it just takes so much time. I boymoded for the first three years of hormones before even trying anything femme. And then after a decade of being hyper-femme, realised I was much happier with queer androgyny. (Still she/her.) It's been a wild ride, and I still don't have myself figured out.

We didn't, I really think growing old is such a privilege. It's why I don't mind aging, I'm not like old, but I'm also not young anymore and I'm happy with that.

Thanks a lot. This is such a precious lil bubble of good on the internet, I'm going to stick around. <3

Honestly best trans space ive found so far is here ❀️❀️

Im so happy for you really, its so heartwarming! Im starting to trend the same way, hyper femme into like just femme enough lmao. The path has already been plotted by lots of women before us i guess

Looking forward to seeing more from you! ❀️❀️

I love this, thank you. I actually became an aunt this year! My family is on the other side of the world (good and bad) and my plan is to be the super cool auntie that visits occasionally. :)

If you didnt mention that you are almost 40 years old, i could have though that you were transitioning since childhood. Old people look so young nowadays, and its nice :3

old people

Since old people are now young, i must reconsider my definition of what an old person is.

Sunscreen!!! Omg use it, the best skincare ever. I'm like, a sunscreen evangelist.

You look fantastic, girl. Love the tattoos.

<3 Thanksss, I have so many πŸ˜„

We share a similar timeline. I’m about that old, about that long on hormones.

There’s a quiet joy in simply existing, now that all the changes are done and being a girl isn’t new anymore. Peaceful, wonderful, but no longer overwhelming.

Aw, yeah. It was definitely different back then.

And yeah, it is different now, more quiet. I was sooooo hyper femme at first and now I settled into a kind of middle ground I'm really happy with.
