This week we celebrate Trans+ History Week. We remember 92 years ago on May 6 in 1933, the world’s first transgender clinic was broken into & occupied by the Nazis
This week of observance is dedicated to celebrating the history of gender diverse people trans, nonbinary & intersex people

Thinking about my career as a human service, economic development & offshore wind professional and how Diversity Equity & Inclusion as a philosophy & practice enriched my work & my life. Being open to different cultures, traditions & perspectives really leads to better collaboration & outcomes

At the office for my first laser hair treatment on my face. A little nervous and hope it works. In a previous life I was sometimes mistaken as Santa 😂. Now I’m making sure that’s never going to happen again!

Traveled to the bay area today for a medical appointment. Def Leppard blasting in car on the way makes it difficult for a girl to act her own age what ever that means. Being the wise old woman that I am, I now understand the importance of when to “act my age” and when it’s ok to let go and have fun.

I’ve heard from a lot of people that we can expect some real dark days ahead. Today I heard a word of encouragement from a transgender I follow, Erin Reed. She says to “find joy in the darkness that surrounds us”. What wisdom that is!

It’s a girl!!!
The Superior Court of California has legally declared my gender as Female!
My new legal name is Andie Jayne!

I guess I should really start posting here now. Wow, Zuckerberg has made Meta platforms less safe for trans people in the name free speech. I am still going to smile because I am living my authentic self regardless - Blue Sky let me introduce myself, my name is Andie

Today is a blue day! I did a quick calculation, it used to take me 15 minutes max to shower, shave and dress to be ready for work. Now? 40 minutes minimum!

My first real attempt at make up. I have real barrier - fear really, that I’ll be unable to pull it off. I do know this that if I never try I will never know! 🏳️‍⚧️💜💜💜💜

My LGBTQ+ flag is looking pretty tattered. It’s it a rough year.
