Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am more than my gender and that transitioning isn’t some magic fix for all my problems.

And other times the gender euphoria hits and it feels like transitioning is indeed a magic fix. I literally just put my hair in a messy bun and left out some hair danglies in the front (what the fuck are these called?). It would look like such a small change to someone else but it feels huge to me. It even made me like my beard. I enjoyed a selfie of my face. What the fuck.

    Can't identify with transitioning. But I can totally relate to the small things making big impacts.

    Love that you're feeling good and groovy with yourself!

    I fucking like mirrors and windows to check it out looool. I hated them before that, mirrors.

    This is so fucking wholesome wholesome

    It sounds like it looks great. I'm a sucker for the long hair and beard combo. I think it looks awesome on people.

    This is a great reminder that I should finally book a haircut. Enjoying taking a selfie is such a wonderful moment, congrats!
