I should put something in my profile.
she/her.
mahm.
transbian in love.
internet plumber. 50 plus.
city girl. rapid transit kid. bicycle commuter.
fountain pen collector.
expat in America.
I am extremely lucky to call this amazing woman my girlfriend.
Her 2019 photo is cuter than mine. (I might be biased).
Here are three of my work headshots, 2019 and years into transition but before HRT, 2023 and less than one year on HRT, and earlier 2025, more than two years:

Trust me, I would love to be able to share a meal with friends and acquaintances.

I mask everywhere except known safe private spaces and sufficiently unpopulated outdoor spaces.
As (northern) winter approaches, that latter will become rare.

Masks reduce exposure to all respiratory diseases.
Since visibility on this is a really big challenge I just wanna say that I still mask in public spaces. I wear a mask when around anyone who doesn’t practice similar precautions. If you do too, you are not alone and I appreciate you so much. If you don’t, you can *always* start again.

Coming out.

It's National Coming Out day.
I'm sure this surprises nobody following me. I am:
A trans woman,
A lesbian,
And (in the department of things I didn't expect to matter)
An immigrant, and
An atheist.

And I'm spending National Coming Out day in the best way I can, with my girlfriend.

Dear Trans Kids,

You deserve to live authentically, and you're so strong and brave for doing so. Shine bright young ones, I got your back.

Hi Trans Kids!
Don't let anyone tell you they know more about who you are than you do. You are an expert on who you are. The only one that counts.

Dear trans kids:

Your people are out there. You will love and argue and do so many stupid things, just like everyone else. The best part? They will love you for simply being you.

You will never walk alone. That's not a promise. It's a guarantee.

Hey trans kids,

Things are kinda bad and it’s OK to feel weird about the future!

But when you feel unloved & misunderstood, know that there are people out there who will understand & love you. Even if it takes time, you’ll find them. Reach for that future. It’s there, I promise. #letters4transkids

trans kids—

i know the world's scary right now. i know the platitudes get old. i know it's hard to keep going. but you're gonna get to the other side of this and realize that openly being yourself is what you need more than anything.

you deserve to find joy in who you are.

Hi trans kids:

You are already more brave and powerful than I was at your age. You've seen who you are and you've declared it for the world. I know things are scary right now but you've jumped such a hurdle, and you should be so proud of how strong and beautiful that makes you.

Hey kids

You're gonna feel scared. That's okay. I was scared too.

But you're also gonna feel joy. A joy so big you're gonna wonder if you'd ever really felt joy before.

It'll make you wonder what other beautiful things are hiding in your heart.

And you'll find those too.

This is for the trans kids out there who feel like they don't belong or don't have the best support.

Anyone else that wants to show the kids that you support them and will fight for them or just want to share your transition story, feel free to use the above hashtag!

Dear trans kids:

There's so much love in the world. I know you mostly see the hate and the struggle and the cruelty, but there is such love too, and like all beauty, it is quiet.

But it is there, waiting for you to find it.

Trans kids,

Many of you won’t read this, because you don’t know you’re trans yet. You just think you’re wrong or broken. You’re not. You’re beautiful and wonderful. You just don’t fit into the box everyone expects you to. Embrace yourself first, and you’ll find your place.

I'm back with lyrics posting again. Also, trauma dump? This does not fit my existing music threads.

She won't catch me or break my fall
