Buying these things funds the genocide of a minority group. So yes, that makes for a bad person. Good people don’t knowingly fund genocides.

A selfie of me in a cafe in Brighton. I’m sitting with a panelled wooden wall and a window behind me. I’m wearing my usual cat-eye shaped glasses and wide black headband. I’m wearing a brown check dress with a plunging neckline and a black fabric corset / harness thing. I’m attempting to smile and looking pretty wild-eyed.

One day I’ll take a selfie in which I smile without looking unhinged.

Trans people are so often excluded from decisions made about them. I am concerned the puberty blockers trial has been paused not for clinical reasons, nor because govt listened to trans people's constructive concerns about how it will be run, but as a political decision...

You need an education on what “friend” and “independent” mean. And while you’re at it maybe familiarise yourselves with “human rights”.

Get fucked.

Damn I feel this. I never used to be any sort of tactile before (the very opposite). Now all I want is a big hug. If we're ever in the same part of the country and you need a nice platonic hug then I'm your girl.

You look great! 😍

Don't tell me there is no problem. Don't try to solve it either. Listen.

I don't make a lot of fuss about the things which make me dysphoric. I prefer not to feed that beast. But when it does come up, and whoever I'm talking to downplays it, it fucking hurts. Especially when it's from a loved one.

If something like that comes up, just listen.

Oh oh! Do me.

The UK has made itself a highly unattractive and unappealing destination for skilled labour, tech or otherwise, and its infrastructure has been cracking under the strain of that, ahem, brain drain for a few years now.

Labour's response to this was to chase Reform votes, so... have fun with that.

His singular mission is our elimination. Again, his actions. Look at what he does. Withdrawing gender affirming care from anyone, *especially* trans kids, is an act of suppression and flagrant transphobia. You are on the wrong side of this. Prepare to be reviled in our history books.

CONCERNED? The ban is killing trans kids! He straight up does whatever the anti-trans lobby tell him! Look at *his actions*, ignore his words.

Or, and I know this is a fucking wild thought for a labour MP, SPEAK TO ACTUAL TRANS PEOPLE. We will *all* tell you what this prick is all about.

I want the mirror in this hotel room. And all the stuff behind me. It adds so much colour to this photo.

Denim shorts and tights are a thing here. Go with it.

A mirror selfie of me from the front in black tights, blue denim cut-off shorts, and a black WOPR (War Games reference) nerd shirt.

Same outfit, different angle.

Same again, but focussing on my ass, which has filled out a bit.

Next up, after a lot of work assembling a spring-summer wardrobe with cute dresses, I decided I wanted to wear denim shorts. I discovered I have more ass and hips than I used to. HRT is magic.

A mirror selfie of me in a short brown checked dress, with short sleeves and a v-neckline. I’m wearing a black corset/harness over it, and black tights. My hair is just washed and held back with a yoga/hair band.

Some recent fits. The dress is a pic from a trip to Montreal last week. A snack pot exploded in my luggage and I had to get creative with what was left undusted. I liked this one.

I'll keep that in the back pocket for in a decade when they're getting too jiggly then.

Wait, is unjigglification a thing that can happen!?

A full body mirror selfie of me standing in a hotel room. I’m wearing thick black thermal tights , a brown check short sleeve v-neck dress, and a black fabric corset / harness. My hair is just-washed and held back by a yoga band.

I had a work trip to Montreal this week. I packed a cup noodle snack thing without wrapping it up. Of course it burst and got flavour powder everywhere. Thankfully I overpacked and had enough clean things to cobble together a couple of outfits. This was one, and I kinda love how it turned out.

This might sound like hyperbole.

It is not.

They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up.

They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable.

It is the UK way.

A photograph of me sitting in The Basketmakers Arms in Brighton. I’m wearing a subdued floarl corduroy shirt, a fused glass amulet, and a black button up dress over the top. I’m also wearing cat-eye shaped glasses and a black yoga band.

I forgot to post for the 1 year anniversary of being on HRT (end of January)! Have a photo of me looking a bit tired in a pub last Thursday.

oh shit

Best Regards... 💀

I don’t know who saved this, but that’s a little creepy.

You've made my life hell. Your actions over the last year have effectively removed human rights from me. The point is cruelty. You can't erase us and we will win, however many of us your actions kill. I hope you're looking forward to being the villains in our children's text books.

MEETING MY PAST SELVES by Riri @alienby.comics 20 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: You're ME? 13 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: No no no no NO!!! ...What HAPPENED? THIS isn't what God had planned for your life! (Clutching a bible) 5 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: … I'm gonna be pretty! Final panel is Riri hugging her inner child

this art from @alienbycomics.bsky.social landed a direct hit with my religious trauma, goddamn.

I nearly made this post about my boobs but it didn't feel appropriately earnest.

Yup, same. I'm gonna need to start from scratch and take the card game seriously from the outset.

The whole thing is rounder and less gaunt. The biggest difference is in the eyes though. Much brighter in colour and less dead.

The yoga band is hiding an improved hairline, but I'll probably still opt for grafts at some point to fill in the temples.

I totally forgot to do it and accidentally came out before I remembered again. 😅
