Three years of daily selfies, strung together into a ninety-second timelapse, to document my hormonal transition.

I am so glad that I started this weird little project three years ago, part of the absolutely wild leap of faith that was starting HRT. I had no idea where I'd end up, but I hoped it would be something I wanted to share.

It's never too late, fam.

i keep coming home and looking in the mirror expecting a tired and bedraggled approximation of femininity, fraying at the edges at the end of a long day. thats how it used to be a year or so ago: i could pretty myself up for selfies in the morning, but it all seemed to wear away by bedtime. but im surprising myself each night: sure, i look tired, but i just look like a tired woman at the end of her day.

so like, the gender euphoria when you realize that your body is more correct than it's ever been in your life, at some point that, like, plateaus, right? like eventually you, like, even out and you're just you, and you're content and happy about it, and it's not like every week you discover some new level of joy, forever?

cause honestly this might be the most bonkers part of a process that's full of bonkers stuff. i never knew i could be this happy, just... being.

A little #TransJoy moment from yesterday, at a birthday party with the little one: all the mums there assuming I’m his biological mother, to the point of asking me a question about “the dad”. ☺️ I still can’t get over the fact that in all-female environments I am always seen as another of the girls, another of the moms, and no one ever questions, well, anything. In a moment when I’m going through a lot of facial dysphoria, these little moments mean more than any of these women will ever know. ♥️

I brushed my teeth, flossed and had another try at trimming my beard. I felt so good: clean and ready for bed!

In one way I'm like "man I've added another body-maintenance chore?!" but it's totally worth it because the feeling of my neck being smooth because I just shaved it is so so much nicer than it being smooth because hair never grew there in the first place.

I keep touching it, and smelling the remnant of shaving cream my brain still associates with my boyfriend, and grinning. #TransJoy

I would like to say for the record that I think trans guys are just as cool as trans girls, and trans mascs are as cool as trans femmes! Also, for those who aren’t offended by me saying it, just as sexy!

…and some days, you pull out of your closet a garment you thought you'd never wear again in your life and go, "huh. guess i can wear this now that it fits completely fucking differently."
