I was planning to write a longer post for this mega and then Silksong happened so… oops?

Short version is this week is my 9th tranniversary. I don’t remember which day exactly so I like to say it was 9/11 so I’d never forget. What ultimately cracked my egg all those years ago was not the deep yearning when looking at women that I couldn’t identify as envy or the increasingly intense and umm horny dreams where I had the power to instantly change my gender. No it was that fucking faceapp gender swap filter. I just kept staring at that pic like it was a mirror into an alternate universe where I was happier and suddenly everything clicked into place. The first few years were hit or miss with a lot of other life changes happening at the time that interfered with getting properly started so in some ways it’s more like a 5 or 6 year tranniversary but whatever. vivian-shrug

It’s weird to say I’m almost done but I really am so close to making all the changes I wanted. I’ll never stop being trans, but I’m definitely moving from trans(itioning) femme to trans(itioned) femme and that’s quite exciting. And maybe a little wistful looking back at the journey.

Have a good week everyone!

    I love yall poly people, I had a good time being poly. But maybe I want to be monogamous and it would be a little nice to have the choice. Wtf is going on in queer kinky dating lol, its like an inversion of mono-poly ratio in cishet vanilla dating.

      I will be very upset if I get finally get into queer dating in my new state and everyone is poly

      I am coping by thinking people are overblowing the polycrisis

      Mood, one of the smaller things that made me get a little disillusioned with t4t is how like 90% of the trans people where I live are poly. I love that for all of them, but I’m way too possessive to be poly myself so I effectively have to date cis women because of it. Which then doesn’t work out either for other reasons.
