Give that questioning friend a makeover today!!
After all, you're supposed to decorate eggs.....
So I have had two in-person interviews with the same company. I'm keeping fingers crossed, because this is looking....hopeful
Me at Choir practice last night
Looking at three years end of April, and it's been *amazing*. It doesn't seem that long.....and it seems like forever.
I'm a geeky middle-aged woman and geologist. And I'm *absolutely* good with that. I smile with my eyes now, and dare to be more than I ever was before. The journey continues.
One month after phase two of my FFS. Still a bit lumpy under the chin
"Sisters of Dorley, Book 57: The year is 2102. A group of brave trans women explorers set off to execute the Lambert Project, a bold, daring attempt to forcefem Mars itself."
I'm wondering if the voting control aspects of the so-called "Save America" act were so toxic and unpopular that the white house felt they had to staple gun the completely unrelated anti-trans bullshit to it after the fact to try and get more support.
2 weeks past the 2nd and final phase of my FFS. I look like a lumpy puffy squirrel from the buccal fat removal & SMAS lift. Some seepage around my ears and I have more time with the chin bra. But I’m starting to see faint traces of it meshing together with the earlier bone work. I’m not unhappy
But I'm in no hurry to get there now. I still look forward to the old woman I shall become, and delight in my changing world and body as I follow a journey that was denied too long.
For someone who spent their teen years and 20's convinced they wouldn't make it to see their 30's, this is a little surreal. There's part of my brain that realizes I'm well past the expiry date I thought I had way back when.
For someone five days out from phase two of FFS (and who REALLY wants to wash her hair), I don't look too bad. Nor do I look too bad for someone who just turned 60 today.
Took my chin bra off for a bit. Not too bad for 48 hours after surgery
I had the second and final phase of my Facial Feminization Surgery today.
Home resting now.
I was repeating it while working on my Master's thesis in Geology. :)
Oh, and here's my cheerleader uniform with our 7 month old kitten, who's named after a character in another one of your books (meet Trevor the kitten)
Why yes, yes we have. :)
Absolutely fun as hell.
Yeah, finding out the rich chaser cabal is.....real, kinda fucks with your head.
You noticed that too. Like the rich chaser cabal is real...
Trevor the kitten apparently wants to be a cheerleader.
Both of those are freaking amazing
The picture on the left is An Tir 12th Night, 2024. 6 months on HRT. On the right, An Tir 12th Night, 2026, 30 months on HRT. Yes, I've lost weight and had phase one of my FFS. But dear sweet Goddess the DIFFERENCES between then and now. It's amazing
Los Angeles, CA -
Bit of a false alarm; crowd isn’t marching yet though they are assembled in the street currently. Making speeches still.
I want a print of this photo. It is amazingly powerful
Oh my Gods what a powerful photo
Oh, i like them!!
That she has.
I would have been surprised to have been the first or only one. Oh, and yay!!!
The rest of the thesis is pretty dry (unless you LIKE lidar studies of tsunami inundation ruggedness), but I wanted to make sure you saw that.
Achieving my Master's was amazing. Doing it as my true, REAL self was a gift I didn't dare hope for. But I did, and you helped. Thank you.
