I'm four days out from FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery). And my thesis has been eating ALL my time. But I wanted to dress up a bit and take a couple of "before" pictures so I would have something to compare with.

My new rapier doublet, cloak, and skirt. I wanted something I could fight in, remove the protective gear, and wear as regular garb as well.
Just a happy sapphic woman with a sword.

My Saturday spent rapier fighting in the SCA. In case you decide that you want to continue to have fun with swords.
