Your hair looks fabulous, Toni!  You have a lovely new profile picture, too.  Sounds like a great day!  I agree about getting one's hair washed by another - it feels so relaxing to just let go and be cared for.  I'd do the salon more often if I could afford it (also, I can never quite recreate what the stylists can do with apparent ease).

Lol! Yeah, I'm pretty low maintenance and have a tight budget. But wish I could do the salon and spa regular... 

Thanks hun ?

@ToniTone just noticed the new look.  Very nice and the hair style/makeup work really nice together.  Keep doing whatever you’re doing!

 

My Best,

I also started creating stuff again. For the past ten years, I haven't really made any art or anything, just got wasted and destroyed stuff. Toxic masculinity I suppose. 

 

I started a music project called Toxic Femininity. I'm hoping to get more fems involved but for now it's a lazy solo project. Edm witch house with a punk rock edginess. I want to take power away from bigotry with this play on words. 

 

I've been drawing, writing poetry and started working on jewelry and accessories again too! It feels good to create again, rather than just destroy.

Drawing, writing poetry, and not just destroying, eh? Have you been reading my mail. . .hahahahhaaaa!!! Thanx so for letting us in!

11 months transitioning on hrt (as of two days ago)! I don't really have much to say this month except... 

 

My breasts are the most sore they've been yet! They don't really hurt on the regular. But if I bump something, even brush them slightly, it sends me flying. Solid A-cup, firm tissue and still growing! Exciting times still!

 

Anyway, I have to get ready for work, long work week. Have a good day lovely's ?

I haven't posted about this yet, but something amazing and wonderful happened a few weeks ago. 

 

I was up in my dimly lit attic level corridor, walking to the stairwell to get down to the kitchen. Out the window at the end of the corridor is a window overlooking the back alley, the sky dark with the subtle twilight sunset glow.

 

My reflection in the window in this moment was just a vague silhouette of me. But what I saw was the form of a woman. It was mesmerising because normally I'm repelled by my own reflection. I dunno, it's such a simple joy, but it was kinda a magical moment for me. 

 

I've also been taking more selfies, and I'm starting to see the woman that is me become. I feel prettier now than I did at the beginning of all this.

Hi, Toni.  Those serendipitous feminine reflections are pure gold.  You never know when it is going to happen, but enjoy it when it does.  No doubt, those hormones are doing their stuff!

Hi Toni! It is always magic moments for me to see feminine reflected back! Even when I have doubts,  I can realize how seeing confirming traits makes me happy.  It's who I am.

That sounds like an absolutely magical moment, Toni.  I'm glad you were able to experience it.  I am more often seeing the real me, and it's wonderful, is it not?

IT'S MY 1 YEAR TRANSITIONING/BEING OUT ANNIVERSARY!!!

 

The year just seemed to fly by! And yet alot has happened, and I have come a long way from where I was a year ago. 

 

I'm so much more happy with myself than I was back then. I can't believe it's been a year already. But the hrt is still working it's magic. This is still very fresh and exciting for me! 

 

I'll come back to this post later today and elaborate more on my retrospective. Outside of this I'm very stressed today, the state of the world right now is giving me anxiety. Plus my roomies and I have to get the house ready bc we might have another girl moving into our already at capacity house, and I'm trying to arrange maybe moving out myself. I'm so stressed right now, anyway... 

 

Thank you everyone here at TP for supporting and being there for me throughout this year. Here's to many more, love y'all ??

As the old Virginia Slims ads used to say, "You've come a long way, baby!" By the way, I love that top!

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby

      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
