Reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre-transitition

Played a D&D character who everyone thought was a man who later revealed she was a woman.

Ya know, just an interesting perspective our brain wanted to investigate. 🤣

reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre transitition

locked eyes with a tall girl at the club, ended up going home with her, and “for fun” we traded outfits because it was so rare to meet someone else our size

(extra credit: then we moved in together less than a month later)

reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre transitition

i called myself a lesbian, i never had men in my friend groups, i was always looking for that perfect cis het relationship, i wrote all a story about a plural character living with other women in her head and thought nothing of it

Outer space with purple, pink, and blue hues in the background. In the foreground is the illustrated portraits of four fantasy characters standing in a group. Azhaam, a tall, brown-skinned, horned man with cracks of red lava along portions of his skin and horns, wearing a grey armored vest over a white t-shirt, and grey armored pants. Skye, a white teenage human girl with sky blue hair, a mechanics goggles, and a skateboard adorned with stickers held over her shoulders. Ayg, a bipedal white-furred rat with one patch of black fur around her right eye, wearing skin-tight pink armor, a maroon hooded cloak, holding her tail in her hands. Theriac, a bipedal garlic plant with a large purple flowering coming from the top of their head, wearing burnt orange armor under a white lab coat, and a smart glass over one eye.

The Waiting Game
Comic, 4 panels Panel 1: Robin smiling as she holds up three fingers. She says "A little over three years in, one of the words I would use to best describe my transition is…" Panel 2: Robin's expression becomes more irritated, her hands on her hips. She continues "...Waiting." Panel 3: Robin holding up a vial of estrogen, saying "Waiting to get on hormones. Waiting on hormones to work. Waiting on a surgeon’s office to answer my calls. Waiting months for a consult." Panel 4: Robin throwing pages off of a calendar "Waiting several more months after the consult for the actual surgery date. Waiting two more months for the new surgery date because insurance declined to cover at the last possible moment. Yes I'm still bitter about that one." (Dialogue only to fit) P5: "Waiting for the (expensive) laser hair removal to, uh... remove hair. Waiting through months of (painful) electrolysis sessions for it to finally start showing results." P6: "Waiting to see if courts will strike down any of the many terrifying anti-trans laws cropping up." P7: "Waiting on another surgeon’s office to actually call me back. Waiting on another consult. Waiting on that surgery date I scheduled last summer that isn't for another eighteen months from now. Plus when you finally have surgery, it's not when you get what you want, it's when you start your recovery, which is another kind of waiting." P8: "Ugh. That other surgeon’s office still hasn't gotten back to me, better give them another call. Time to lay on a table and get my face painfully prodded for an hour, again. Still waiting on some of those hormone effects other people seem to get… Don’t clench your jaw every time you remember that the 2024 elections are coming." Panel 9: Robin pointing to a colored bar representing a timeline says"And I don't just feel the months or years of waiting now. There's also all years of waiting to even accept myself as trans. So tack on an extra couple decades to the timeline and–" Panel 10: Robin shouts angrily "I'M SICK OF WAITING!" Panel 11: Robin walks closer to the frame making air quotes with her fingers says "I'm sick of being told I'm so “brave” and “resilient”. I'm tired of having to be resilient." Panel 12: Robin sits down on the panel edge, looking tired "…But no matter how sick and tired of it I am, it doesn’t make things go any faster." Comic, 3 panels Panel 13: Robin leans bak against the panel wall and says "When i hit one year of HRT, I did a comic about how transition had already been a huge positive for me, regardless of any desired physical changes I had not yet received. And that's still true. It is, without a hint of doubt, the best thing I have ever done for myself." Panel 14: Robin pinches the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes, and says "And for all the trouble I'm having, I know I'm still very fortunate to even be transitioning. I'll be okay. I just- I..." Panel 15: Robin opens her eyes and takes her hand off her nose, looking downcast. She says "I need a minute."

When we come out, our partner is faced with the reality that, "Oh, s#!t, my partner just told me they're trans." What the fuck do I do?!

They deserve support in those tender first moments, and this week, I'm going to try and give them a little on Stained Glass Woman!

Maybe all of a sudden, maybe after a long time exploring ourselves, we said the magic words: "Oh, s#!t, I think I'm not cis."

This week on Stained Glass Woman we've got a guide for what to do when you finally discover that you got your gender wrong.

Fascinated by the sheer matter-of-factness of this story buried on page 8 of The Liverpool Daily Post, 29 March 1937 – “Ellen the barmaid is now Alan the barman.” Please update your address books. Now, what’ll you have?
BARMAID BECOMES BARMAN – GIRL RE-REGISTERED The re-registration of seventeen-years-old Ellen Caldwell, a Crewe barmaid residing at Martin-street, as a male and her appearance at the hotel where she is employed smartly attired in man’s clothing has brought to a conclusion a remarkable episode of transformation. Last summer she sought medical advice and an operation was performed at Manchester Royal Infirmary. The operation was successful and her father has taken the necessary steps to have her re-registered this time as a male. She has changed her name to Alan and Ellen the barmaid is now Alan the barman.

I can't tell you how often this week I have re-remembered @oneshotrpg.bsky.social saying, "Oh, Dillin, we can't take off the Tron armor." It tickles me exactly the same amount every time.
