tuesday will be three weeks post-op and sitting is still decently uncomfortable so i spend most of my time laying in bed and mentally it is taking a toll on me!!

like the physical pain has sucked but this boredom and cabin fever is worse!

not having genitals šŸ‘šŸ‘

healing from not having genitals šŸ‘ŽšŸ‘Ž

slept on my side some last night for the first time since surgery which was so nice, but damn did it make me bleed a ton so we won’t be doing that for a bit longer 🫠

sometimes i wake up and i’m in a bad mood for no reason and then im like—Ah! Yes! Take your meds!!—then i feel fine.

having some wild phantom sensations after bottom surgery šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

peeing with my newly located urethra is… interesting so far! not at all unlike a fire sprinkler šŸ˜‚

cold brew and an ensure shake: the breakfast of champions

starting to really settle in that i don’t have a penis anymore and i’m so happy ā˜ŗļø

My bottom surgery went great!! Back home at my Airbnb recovering. I can walk around pretty easily, feeling better than I would've expected.


update the pain has arrived this shit sucks lmao

tragically, i really like austin šŸ˜… now to spend the rest of my time here in this house recovering from surgery.

16 hours to go!

in austin for bottom surgery on tuesday i am beyond hype ā€¼ļøšŸ˜¤

ā€œinsecure enbiesā€ really pissed me off too like what you think we’re all just going to up and be binary trannies if you bully us enough?

i have a very secure concept of who i am! that includes a lot of medical transition! it’s so fine if you don’t! we have a lot of kinship and shared experience!


i’ve been doing this shit for toooooooooo long y’all were doing this discourse a decade ago and you’ll be doing it a decade from now and meanwhile the vast majority of us will be living our lives offline—turns out people won’t say freak shit like this to your face!

technically my psychiatrist calls me an ā€œAMAB feminine leaning nonbinary individualā€ maybe we should try that one on 🫠


i am feminine-leaning in that i look like the woman i am yes

i don’t want to wade into discourse but i’m a nonbinary person about to have my third gender-affirming surgery this year why are people trying to get people who medically transition and nonbinary people to fight like we’re not the same fucking people i’m literally having nonbinary bottom surgery


tbh feeling perpetually unrepresented by all of the people yapping about this bc i think my existence disproves all of their arguments about there being actual delineation of identities this shit is fluid as hell baybee

20 days until bottom surgery ayyy i’m too hype


also since i’m talking about gender shit so much—i’m having gender nullification surgery. my body will be mine and explicitly nonbinary and not have genitals i don’t feel an connection to. i’m thrilled.

i get really envious when i see kids with expansive food tastes, because i never was exposed to new foods as a kid and trying new things is hard for me as an adult with sensory and appetite problems šŸ˜”

feels like there was a window where i was more open to experimentation and it’s mostly passed.

RCS on iPhone is soooo good it’s about damn time they implemented it

i got COVID and DTaP boosters this week and i am sore and my arm is angry

also peep the FFS results 😜 i love my nose so much!! and i can breathe better—who knew i had a deviated septum!

skylar, a blonde woman with bangs sitting at her desk, left arm exposed. there’s a large red spot on her upper arm from vaccines, and she has a neutral expression from the discomfort.

realized i’ve been no-contact with my family for a year now. it’s been really good for me, but definitely contributed to feeling lonely. need to put more work into building community instead!

new face new hair same dumb bitch
