A little later today my wife and I will be heading out to Ikea. If y’all don’t hear from me by tomorrow that will be my last known whereabouts. Please send help.
I was talking to a friend who is a cis, hetero woman and sometimes the conversation can turn to me being trans.
This particular topic had me segue into how sometimes when a trans person starts hormone therapy, their sexual orientation will change. Not sure if it's the hormones or just the release of a lot of walls and masking that had been put up as safety/coping mechanisms but sometimes that happens.
I told her that hasn't happened to me. In fact, if anything, after starting hormone therapy I am even more repulsed by dudes than I was before.
I was like, "No offense to Jerry (her long time partner) or you as a hetero woman but Imma be straight up honest... dudes are hella gross. They're just... blech.
She responded by giving a pretty heavy sigh then saying in a somewhat defeated tone, "yeah. They are."
I kinda felt like dragging out something I said in a reply the other day:
You know...
you have other options...
like, I don't know... let's say your cute, friendly, sane, emotionally available, (did I mention "cute") local lebesian.

Aaaaghhh!!! *squeals in trans*
This is such a wonderful PHOTO!!!
So glad y’all got this and shared it with us. And I got to admit, I’m a bit jealous to not have been there.
Might I also add… so weird to see the physical incarnation of the Mastodon algorithm right there next to the two Jessicas. 😜

If you’re gonna be something… strive to be the best version you can be. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/111/133/726/837/715/027/original/8470cc74cf74d7bb.jpeg#BloomScrolling #FlowerReport #Photography #SilentSunday “Resilience” . . . You can demonize us, outlaw us, try to shame us, break us, gas light us, make us feel small. But together, my transgender siblings and I… we will bloom even where it seems impossible. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/111/080/446/149/344/032/original/62299a2e9c1f1ddf.png
