Aftertaste Chapter 12 is complete. It is a very emotionally heavy chapter, and this list of content warnings is lacking the big one. It went in a place that surprised me, I wasn’t trying to hide it from anyone. Full list of Content Warnings in the comment to this post.

one of my most gender-euphoric behaviors is to gently rest my open palm on her upper breast, nails gently grazing her collarbone, as we play twister on each others’ soft tender lips
it’s the best

What was your first time dressing like your gender?
One afternoon a few (very few) years ago, I put on a pair of... I guess they're pants? it's hard to describe, but they're heavily embroidered and very femme
Anyway, I went grocery shopping — scared to death & expecting to be terrorized

i can recall that day 7y ago when i first stepped outside in women’s athletic leggings, dashed for the stairs and prayed the neighbors didn’t see me
today i tossed on that same pair of leggings with a sports bra to head across town sans makeup for a dr appt and coffee
no-one batted an eye

our existence is political;
it shouldn’t be

they are incapable of understanding this
they see us replace broken empty shells with thriving vibrancy

a lifetime of these moments of abject terror, inflicting incalculable damage, crushing all will to live
