Sparkling somewhere on the trans-spectrum.
Supportive, but cynical. Prone to hyper-fixation, impractical adventures and spending years hiding under the duvet.
Only interested in people who get it, not people who want it.

Not sure if I'll keep this up.
One of the greatest priviledges as a transfem was to be married in front of close friends as myself. It's years ago now, so the photos are dated, but they are precious to me.

The *only* flaw in Celebrity Traitors (spoiler alert) was that Paloma Faith didn't have the chance to wear her entire wardrobe before being murdered.

Sad-sacks on X are having a meltdown over kids in the UK Youth Parliament using... hair dye.
FFS. We were wearing worse than this forty years ago.

OK, second 'fit check. I am obsessed with this jeans and top combo.
Again, AI to replace background and smooth skin a little, but yeah, that's my actual waistline - no photochop trickery there. Hey, I can live with it.

Felt cute might delete later. Wardrobe try-out and a much needed style overhaul.
Not sure about these photos though. No chance for a full makeover yet, so these are bedroom selfies cleaned up with AI (background and skin smoothing).
My body, my clothes, no unrealistic beauty standards. But.. fake?

With all the crap going on at the moment, I can't get closure on the many stoopid arguments I'm hearing. It makes my head spin and stops me from doing fun things.
Buuuutt... I love Autumn (Fall), and my winter wardrobe is making me so happy. So there is that...

ID Cards in the UK. Ugh. What is it about techbros and politicans?
We need a trans/femme tech-for-good organisation to tear all this shit down and make it easier to be yourself. No more working for the man to his stoopid rules.

I've spent the last month stressing over wanting a pair of stompy goth boots for an outfit, and not really being able to justify spending all that money for one look.
I've only just remembered that I own a pair of stompy goth boots. This picture of me in them is one of my all time favourites. Doh!

Someone accused me of using other people's photos once (these days it would be AI), because I looked different in every one.
That's the point. You've got a giant toybox to play in - why not try every last toy? I'd happily change my look every single day if I could.

This is going to be a tough couple of weeks for me, so please forgive random posts as I deal with stuff.
I'm losing faith in BSky as a place to be trans. If you're not hard inside an ingroup, you're effectively invisible. Conditional acceptance feels like stealth intolerance.

Falling between the stools of serious(ish) thoughts on gender and identity, and sharing mildly fetishy photos.
Given the current climate, unless it's all doom and gloom or you're selling something, it's hard to strike up a conversation.

When times were easy, it was easy for groups to preach tolerance of real diversity.
Now that times are hard, many of those same groups are acting in their own self interest - and distancing themselves from 'others' who might dilute their cause or distract from their mission.
Fair weather friends.

Oh by the way, having just done it myself, I cringe hard when people refer to their femme side in the third person.
Me. Me. It's all wonderful, gender fluid, messy and ridiculous me. OK, so there's some Clark Kent/Superman thing with the underwear being.. yanno.. on the outside. But still..

I'm terrified of getting back in front of the camera after such a long break. Photos like this were very much smoke and mirrors. These days everyone has upped their game so much. Being gender fluid, I want 'her' to be there when the shutter clicks, and I'm scared that it'll show how far she's gone.

Hilariously, Insta is now recommending me dating sites where young women are seeking older lesbians (I mean, yes, but.. no), whereas BlueSky is trying to hook me up with hit and run OF accounts (nope..).
Of the two, BlueSky is the most in need of an algorithm upgrade.

Anyone any experience in affordable human hair wigs? I'm thinking of a glued install like the first picture (tho' a bit shorter to make it easier to wear) - either pink or #613 blonde. Second picture is me in a synthetic wig that looked great for about the duration of the photoshoot...

Watching grown adults only start to care about censorship online when their toys are taken away is pretty depressing.
Apprently it was fine when it was only stuff they personally didn't do, or weren't comfortable with.
