Went to a Gala Saturday evening. It being ND and trans (run/organized) made it reasonably comfy despite not knowing anyone but a few people there was nice.
Wife and I are both mostly femme’s, we got to dress up and get some love.
I got one of them, “it’s nice to get to see you as you” from someone who mostly only sees me on early morning/off days and I’m not always even washed yet, let alone shaven and done up.
Anyways, off to quest for more places to engage and help drive content.
I am somehow immune to the stereotypical pickle and olive cravings, but I am devouring these almond-butter filled pretzel bites. I don't even like hard pretzels. At least, I didn't like them before! I also went and got my ears pierced this weekend. That felt right, somehow. I only got flat white gold studs, and my spouse says they look punk more than anything, but they somehow make my face feel smaller. I'll take any win I can get.
Now that the weather's warmer I bought some nice, sensible, not-baby-trans-I-hope dresses. Now that I can (very slightly) fill out the bust a bit (and not the stomach!), they are extremely affirming. It still feels a bit weird, but nice, to wear fitted stuff that's tight around the chest.
The other day I went out on some errands in full-on fem (not that I boy mode ever, but I was trying to push the boundary). The sun was shining, the breeze pushing my skirt against my legs, etc etc. It was like a dream. As it happens I was updating my name on All The Things, and most places asked "and what is your relation to ?". Every time I replied that we're the same person I got the "blink... blink... huh? ... oooOOOhhh" response :3
