You can transition in your 30s. It's pretty awesome.
River pre-transition, hugging a blahaj (shark plushie) at Ikea River, almost three years into transition. She is looking at the camera in an empty street, the background gently blurred. She is wearing a black lace top.

Using my Buddhist robe sewing skills to apply this helpful patch that clearly communicates that I lick but also bite 🧛‍♀️

“It’s come to shape the way I think about every country, every community: Whose nonexistence is necessary to the self-conception of this place, and how uncontrollable is the rage whenever that nonexistence is violated?”

My org is raising funds for a mutual aid microgrant to support trans women and trans femmes accessing hair removal. This grant prioritizes BIPOC trans women and trans femmes.

As someone who has spent a lightly used Honda Civic on making my face soft, I'm so proud of this.

Playing @pintroverts.bsky.social incredible vampire narrative game "Cabernet" and I'm pretty sure I just accidentally paid $23 for a new fetish...
Liza, a vampire doctor, bites into her victim and is definitely really into that blood. Liza looks up at her victim, checking to make sure that they are ok. Somehow this is even hotter.

blegh I hate doing this kind of thing these days, but here I am before starting laser, about a week of growth. And here I am last week, a week out from shaving.
River in 2025, 3 years+ laser. Pre-transition River looking super sad behind admittedly nice sunglasses. She has a patchy goatee.

Posting this meme is now therapy for me
A comic showing a twitter user @aryanchud69, posting "Look at what the left has done to our men." He has posted an image, showing the saddest man alive and, next to it, the most beautiful woman you've ever met.
