In my feelings about how good transition is, in general and in specific, so have a little transition timeline, from before I knew I was trans to earlier today. 2010-2015-2020-2025
A collage of four images. Top Left: 2010, me as a late teen girl, with a purple bandana in my long brown hair, looking at the camera and smiling with a beverage in my hand. Top Right: 2015, me as a early twenties pre-transition AFAB person, with a fresh androgynous haircut, smiling to the camera. Bottom Left: 2020, me as a late twenties early transition trans man, facial hair just barely growing in, with a bemused look on my face. Bottom Right: 2025, me as an early thirties trans man who has been at this for a while, with a freshly trimmed haircut and beard and a confident smile on my face.

My beloved Fizz boy. Took him home in a cardboard box when I was 20, had no idea I was getting a best friend for over a decade. He was loving, relaxed, and had no idea how to be a cat. I miss him every day. RIP Fizz, 2012-2024.

Proof
A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for "You Can Call Me Al". It includes the sentence "The height difference between the 6ft 4in [Chevy] Chad and the 5ft 3 in [Paul] Simon serves as comical juxtaposition."

It's Penny's birthday today!

She's 1 whole year old today! Wow!
A calico cat (Penny) sits on a desk, in front of a computer monitor. Penny sits on my leg while we are laying on the couch in the living room. She is giving me a cute look. Penny sits on top of a window sill and hangs over the top of a bookcase, looking at the camera. A comparison picture: on the left is Penny at 2 months old looking terrified while sitting on a bookcase, on the right is an adult and calm Penny laying on a desk.

I can post this because the intended gift recipient doesn't follow me on here: I spent my weekend making my best approximation of a stuffed sudowoodo.
A crocheted stuffed Pokemon toy, specifically a sudowoodo. Its face and markings are made of felt. The colors are off, and the stitching isn't my best work, but it was made with care.

Little photo drop of Penny. She's almost 11 months old, can you believe it! She turns 1 on 4/10. #catsofbluesky
A calico cat (Penny) looks at the camera with her head cocked. She is sitting on a desk, taking up most of it. Penny sits on the back of the couch, one leg extended in a way that just makes you want to say "leggy" Penny is perched on the back of a gamer chair, tail curled, looking intently up at the corner of the room. She's entranced by shadows and lights. Penny sits on one of the shelves of a bookcase, investigating the metal frame intently.

When people tell me to stay in my lane, this is the lane they are talking about.

New Years Day, big power outage has knocked out electricity to my city. Guess that means my attention is squarely on Penny today.
The photo is from my point of view as I lay on the couch. Penny, a calico cat, lays on my leg. She looks back at me with an expression of "Come on, aren't you going to pet me?"

Having a good Saturday with Penny

I have to accept that, at nearly eight months old, she's practically a grown cat now.

she has been so delicate with the tree
A calico cat (Penny) sits hanging over the edge of the sofa, delicately putting her paw and little face into the softly-lit Christmas tree next to her.

re: my last rant
A photo of a TV. On it, The Lion in Winter (1968) plays, with captions on. Timothy Dalton, playing King Philip II of France, says "I am a king. I am no man's boy."

Dinnertime! I decided to make steak instead of turkey, so here is my steak, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. It's tasty!
A blue dinner plate sitting on a coffee table. On the plate, from the top going clockwise, is a large scoop of sausage stuffing, a large steak, some broccoli, and a moderate scoop of mashed potatoes.

When my mother first moved out on her own, she stole a whole Christmas tree and some ornaments from a department store. One of the few she got was a stuffed peacock, and that peacock lived on our tree my whole childhood. Ever since I've moved out myself, I've always included a peacock on my tree.
Another close-up of the Christmas tree to focus on an ornament I am holding in my hand. It is a stylized peacock, with a dark blue body, and alternating dark and light blue tail feathers. It is attached to the tree with red ribbon.

As family tradition has taught me, you have to have a Christmas spider. I'm afraid of spiders, but I wouldn't dream of putting up a tree without one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_...
A close-up on the Christmas tree, on a specific ornament. It is a gold spider on a gold spiderweb. There are crystals on the web and in the body of the spider.

Put up my Christmas tree! Let's see if Penny will let it be.
A photo of a Christmas tree. It is decorated with white lights and ornaments of red and gold. It has a golden star at the top. It sits in the corner of a room, between a blue sofa and a brown recliner chair.

my working conditions
A computer desk, on which you can see a calico cat (Penny). She has one of her arms looped over mine, as I try to move my computer mouse in peace.

hanging out with my baby
A selfie, depicting a 30-something bearded man in a sweater and an Eagles hat (me), leaning in next to a calico cat (Penny). The cat is laying on a desk; there is a computer monitor behind her, and a computer mouse in front of her.

Look at how much Penny has grown in the last five months! #cats #catsofbluesky
A combination of two pictures, enclosed by a blue-and-daisy border. In the top photo, a 2 pound little calico kitten (Penny) sits nestled against a grey pillow, looking at the camera. In the bottom photo, the same cat (now 8 pounds and much more adult) sits nestled against the same pillow, looking down

Lovely day with Penny. #Caturday
A calico cat (Penny) sits on the couch, looking up to the left of the camera. Penny sits on my leg. I'm patting her on the head; she looks non-plussed. Penny on my leg again, in the process of laying down. There are bookcases in the background. Penny lays nestled in the cushions on the back of the couch. There's a lamp on in the background.
