Working Black Friday sucks, but at least I'm cute

A selfie of Corynne on a break from working Black Friday. They are wearing all black, including their eyeliner, lip color and most importantly, the black elf/Santa hat with the words "Bah Humbug" embroidered in the fuzzy white trim.

Wanna see a magic trick?

Corynne, February 2022, just figured out they weren't cis. Short hair with a bit of stubble.

Corynne, November 2025. Long hair, black clothes and makeup, significantly happier (even though she's not smiling in the picture)

Your hot goth trans girlfriend says hello

A selfie of Corynne at her desk. She is wearing a long sleeve black sparkly top with lace at the end of the sleeves, black fingerless gloves, leather mini skirt and fishnet tights. Although her expression doesn't show it, she's very proud of how well she did her black lipstick and eyeliner.

Would you believe this is the first time I've worn a dress in public that wasn't part of a costume?

A selfie of Corynne sitting on a couch looking at the camera from a distance. They are wearing a pretty black dress with a white flowery pattern, the first time they have worn a dress in public.

Selfie of Corynne at their retail job, wearing a white striped shirt with their blue work vest. And of course, their silver rimmed glasses and red lip color.

It sounds silly, but I can't help but smile when I look down and realize my legs really do look like this.

I definitely don't fall into the category of trans people who "always knew" they were trans. I knew something didn't feel right, but I could never place what it was or where it was coming from. Growing up in the late 70's/early 80's, there wasn't exactly a support network of people you could talk to about such things; no forums you could visit, no internet to quickly find others who felt similarly. It certainly doesn't help when society, in all of its forms of media, constantly bombards you with how you should act, what you should feel, why you stay away from "the gays" (especially in the height of the AIDS panic). The cacophony does its damnedest to drown out and trivialize the most important voice you should be listening to: YOURS.

It took me being in a COVID quarantine for me to finally stop and really listen to mine, and even then it took me 3 more months before I really understood what it was saying. That society's rules are all fucking made up when it comes to gender. That feeling and acting a certain way doesn't reflect the labels society tries to place on you. Those labels are for you and you alone to decide how they define you, if you even want to use any labels at all. No one else gets to tell you who you are, how you feel, what you look like or who you love. And when you finally listen, REALLY listen to your voice and start to live on your own terms instead of listening to society's discordant prattle, then will you start on the path of being your true self, and all the love and joy that comes from it.

This pic looked very cute and femme to me yesterday.

I'm getting there, day by day. 💜
