As a trans woman, this week is one of the most stressful weeks of my life. I'll either be somewhat safe in America, or hated and hunted in America ๐Ÿ˜‘ If this sounds like I'm being dramatic, I promise you I'm not!

This weekโ€™s Twitch streams are gonna be legenโ€”wait for itโ€”dary! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ Catch me Mon, Tues & Thursday from 5PM to 8PM for epic games, laughs & maybe a few fails ๐Ÿคฃ

I have so many thoughts yet I can't seem to turn any of them into a coherent post, so instead Happy Monday ๐Ÿคฃ

Some days I need to remind myself that the people that stare at me are not always doing it out of hate or malice, instead it could be a stare of adoration or surprise. Or it simply could be they've never seen a semi beautiful woman before and they are jealous ๐Ÿคฃ

After a bit of confusion at the Dr's, I finally got my first dose of injectable E ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ The nurse who taught me was fantastic and as much as I hate needles, this one didn't hurt at all ๐Ÿ˜€

Starting to purge some of my social media sites (CoSo is safe). I'm struggling with the world today & the call for public executions of trans people have pushed my mental health into a bad place.

It's sad that our country is this broken and sad that people want to end our lives just because of who we are.

Ok CoSo, I'm a bit nervous to do this, but of the social media sites this one is hands down the best. So CoSo gets it the first picture of me without a wig on (super self conscious btw). This may get deleted or maybe it will spur me on to post a transformation Tuesday picture ๐Ÿคฃ

Without further ado....picture on the left is my natural hair and picture on the right is my wig. Still planning on wearing the wig for a bit longer until my hair grows out more. Be nice ๐Ÿคฃ

Here's the thing though, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm happy in my own skin for the first time ever, and there is no price on that.

Just remember, whether you are out or in the closet still, you are valid and valued. We are stronger together!

To all the LGBTQ+ allies out there, please help me welcome @BaileyGS67 from the horrific world of Twitter ๐Ÿ˜€ Let's show her how much rocks!!!!

Feeling discouraged ๐Ÿ˜ง I've been on for 9 months with minimal changes. The last 3 has shown no change even with an increase in estrogen. I'm currently taking 6mg of estrogen in pill form & 200 mg of spiro. I know it takes time but really wish something more would happen ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Sometimes I feel like I look like a plus size supermodel and other times I feel like a fraud with a wig ๐Ÿ˜‘ I'll give you one guess which one I feel like today ๐Ÿ˜‘

Bringing my kids out in public as my true self for the 1st time later today & not gonna lie, feeling nervous about 2 things.

1st - they still call me dad, which I completely left up to them because I already changed enough, I wanted them to feel like they had a say in something

2nd - my fem voice awful atm, though still better than my natural voice.

So the combination of dad & a less than perfect voice has me anxious, and it's more anxiety I have FOR them, not me.

It's crazy to me that after all these years I can finally be the person I was meant to be ๐Ÿ˜€

I did it!!! Today is my first day at work as Madison ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Even though my makeup sucks today ๐Ÿคฃ People have been amazing! Still have some anxiety but it will only get better from here ๐Ÿ˜Š

2 1/2 weeks until I start presenting at work ๐Ÿ‘€ Also officially broke due to divorce & needing a new wardrobe for work ๐Ÿ˜‘

I still need new pants and new shoes. Hopefully I have enough for the time being!

HOLY CRAP it's getting real ๐Ÿ‘€

Started emailing my contacts from other companies we work with to let them know I'm transitioning.

Ordered new business cards with my name.

Next is getting ears pierced tonight, then hopefully moving my divorce along so I can begin the name change process.

Things are finally starting to fall in place ๐Ÿ˜€

Can't remember a weekend better than this past one ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š My kids got to meet the real me and were amazing with it. I also found the cutest shirt (the one in this pic) and it is actually long enough for me. I prefer these types of weekends way more ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Also think I'm gonna finally get my ears pierced this week ๐Ÿ˜

I'm so lucky to have the most amazing kids ๐Ÿ˜Š I have a 9, 7 & 4 year old & they all "kind of" knew about me, but today they saw pictures of me for the first time & they were all super excited.

My oldest was scared of my picture for some reason but not in a bad way, he was being his goofy self. I asked if he'd rather see me dressed as myself in person & he said yes. My other two wanted to see me in person as myself too.

So tomorrow night my kids are gonna finally meet the real me ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

First time ever doing a transformation photo! Granted I was just a wee bit younger but a lot has changed ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

So I've been looking into the name and gender change process and it seems to take a while. The question is, should I start now or wait until the divorce is final (which has been a slow process).
