Is this poem #TransGEM? Yeah, I think it counts as #TransGEM.

It’s been some time since I posted, and I’ve already missed my attempt to post yesterday for #transgendereuphoriamonday
My #TransGEM has been writing my coming out letters to work, friends, and family. I’m sending them on Jan 1 and planning to live full time as Olympia from then on.
Writing […]

My #TransGEM for the week came on halloween night. It was my first halloween since I started identifying as a trans _woman_ (vs thinking of myself as trans enby last year) and the first one where I was comfortable going out in a dress.
I decided to lean into being trans and wore a suffragette […]

My #TransGEM is late ... again.
I spent last weekend out of town and spent several wonderful hours with a lovely trans friend who I hadn't met in person yet. We had a great time getting coffee and thrift shopping and just generally being (trans) women out on the town.
She also gives the _best_ […]

My #TransGEM for the week was at the Met Museum in NYC this weekend.
I was wearing a really cute outfit in orange and brown fall colors (vaguely “dark academia” style?) and felt pretty great, if overly warm (it was 80 deg in NYC this weekend!).
A woman came up to me: “Excuse me, I just wanted […]

My #TransGEM for this #TransgendEreuphoriaMonday happened just this morning...
I started crying in the shower. Tears of joy. I got to spend all day yesterday as me, interacting with all kinds of people in a strange environment (LA Comic Con) and never once did I feel out of place or viewed as […]

My #TransGEM for the week was spending the day as my glamorous self (in a dress, heels, and makeup) with my long-time friend M. He hadn’t really “met” Olympia before, but he treated me as if it were any ordinary outing. It was nice to not feel judged and just be me.
Thanks M.!

Forgot my #TransGEM yesterday.
Last Thursday I looked down and saw a girl again. She was there for a fleeting moment and I smiled uncontrollably.
And later she was back, but briefly! I told my friends on discord that “Sadly y’all missed her as she couldn’t stay long.”
I was informed that […]

It’s nearly the end of the day and I haven’t posted my #TransGEM
This last weekend I came out to four more people who I’ve known for a while. All of them were kind and understanding and happy for me.
I’m itching to come publicly out but at the same time not ready emotionally. Maybe in 3-4 […]

I realized I never did a #TransGEM , probably because my personal life is a mess at the moment. I’ll end up better off long term, but short term – ugh.
I did have a moment of #TransJoy this past week that’s worth sharing. A good friend of mine told me I’d be an “elder” trans woman well before I […]

My #TransGEM for last week was getting to be Olympia (instead of [deprecated-name]) for nearly the entire week while at an opera festival.
On Thursday night, for the first time ever, I looked down at myself and saw a woman.
Not the usual semi-dysphoric version of “not a man but also not a […]

My #TransGEM for the week is switching to injections, finally getting a higher dose than the menopausal levels Planned Parenthood stated me on. I felt pretty damned good this weekend (physically if not emotionally, but that’s a different issue).
Relatedly, I posted a photo of my injection […]

You know that feeling when you're lying in bed at night and the fridge suddenly goes quiet, and you realise how loud it had been?
You may not have been conscious of it bothering you. It may not have been bothering you at all. But still you think "Oh, this is nice. What a relief."
That's what […]

My #TransGEM this week was girl brunch with my sister and then thrift shopping with her. She convinced me to try on things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise and I bought several skirts and dresses! She’s only known “Olympia” for a few days but she’s already embraced me as a sister. Thanks Sis! […]

My #TransGEM for the week is finally gaining the confidence and courage to post some selfies on discord. The community was wonderfully supportive and I’m already feeling more confident in my #trans self. Thank you all (you know who you are)

I thought better of my slightly lewd #TransGEM post for this week.
But I thought I should tell you about it, so you can be just as horrified, if not more, imagining what I might have posted.
No need to thank me. Just doing my job as an inappropriate old lady.

My #TransGEM for the week: coming out to two of my friends who were very supportive. But who also were like, “Olympia, we know.”
I thought I was at least somewhat passing as a cis man out in the world!!?
(Affirming and yet somehow concerning?)

Damn, I like the old lady who lives in my mirror. My face hurts from smiling whenever I see her. She always seems delighted to see me, too.
Apparently she's unattached, which seems implausible, and an absolute crime.

It's a potent memory: being a child and wobbling about on your first bicycle, focusing so hard on coordinating all the actions required to keep it upright — and failing — until you stop fixating on each individual movement and suddenly "Oh my god! I'm doing it! I'm doing it!"
And then you […]

My #TransGEM this week was finally joining the TillyVerse discord server and chatting with some of you lovely people in real time. You’ve all been fun and supportive.
There’s nothing quite like feeling like you’re part of a community. Fedi was my first foray into #trans community and it’s […]

Struggling a bit to find my #TransGEM for the week because last was emotionally rough and I’m a bit drained today.
But I did manage to wear a skirt (a kilt is a skirt!) every day last week, which was very affirming (even if most onlookers might have expected it was masc affirming, not femme!) […]

Discord post from an unnamed user: I've been doing pretty decent lately despite all the hardships and was able to buy some clothes and stuff that make me feel more me. I'm feeling really happy with my transition progress esp after a recent purchase. And I've been getting out more now that I finally have SSI back, and im starting to feel at least partially human for the first time | can recall. Like I'm more than just a vessel being piloted because it can do nothing else. I don't know. Its nice
This is a post from a trans person I know in my town. It always makes me so happy to see trans people reporting these experiences of joy they get just from finally being able to be themselves!

This week’s #transgender moment of euphoria: I came out to a friend, and he was very supportive. He already knew I was gender queer/questioning from the past few years but not the extent to which my egg has fully cracked.
He made sure to ask for a pronunciation guide for my new chosen name […]

Recently emailed a dear friend in the UK, just because I hadn't heard from her in a while.
We "met" online soon after my egg crack, and bonded over our similar life trajectories. When my abusive marriage turned really nasty, and through the difficult years of getting my transition ducks in a […]

A few years ago, my face looked really feminine. It was cis passing in my high school graduation photo. Before I came out, while I had that photo as my profile picture on Instagram, I would sometimes get random replies from transphobes saying things like "your bio says he/him but you're clearly […]

my #TransGEM this week has been walking around shirtless in public, lmao. normally that’s more euphoric for trans men, but now that I have tits, it’s kinda fun to show them off a bit :) hash tag happy pride!

Here's my #TransGEM for this week:
Last Friday I spent the day with a friend from a different city. The exact reasons that brought me up to her were actually very depressing, but nonetheless it got me a chance to meet her husband (both of them are trans) and their two children.
Seeing these […]

I wrote a thing about what brought me euphoria this week (and every week). A day overdue, as is my custom.
