Sophie<p>Can I just say that shopping unapologetically as a girl is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done in my life? Like, suddenly this whole “shopping” thing is enjoyable and makes sense. So here’s a selfie of me wearing a dress out in public doing normal things for the first time and I love it so much!</p><p><a href="https://anarres.family/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a> <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/TransJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransJoy</span></a></p>

Erik :disabled_heart:<p>I still think that my muscles are hiding under a big soft layer of fat, but the other day a pal said</p><p>&gt; I was also mildly admiring your "dad arms" the other week! That's what made me say "I want to do strength training"!! It's subtle but it's there.</p><p>Aw. I'm not doing exercise for my looks but it is nice if it's making people think they should do strength training or call me a dad. :) This is perfect <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a></p>

Cait the Proud Trans Woman<p>Ooh, it's Monday, time for a Trans GEM (Gender Euphoria Moment). </p><p>Mine today comes from just a few minutes ago. On Discord. I was greeting my friends in our little community, welcoming the day and checking in. </p><p>And the sheer unadulterated joy, the laughter, and deep pleasure I experienced...may I say it? The euphoria? Was in realising these are my people. </p><p>That being trans has brought me this incredible group of friends (many of whom are not on that server, to be clear - some of them are reading this), whom I trust and rely on in a way I've never felt before. </p><p>When I transitioned, it was alone. I had a couple of cis women who stuck by me, but that was it. I knew other trans people only to say hi in the gender clinic. Internet was only recently a thing. </p><p>And the clinic made sure we stayed alone. We were strongly advised *NOT* to spend time around other trans people, lest it threaten our ability to be stealth. </p><p>So to now be surrounded on all sides by a massive wall of friends, any of whom I can count on to have my back if things go sideways...some days it just hits a lot harder. </p><p>I genuinely love you all. Yes, even you in the back there. I see you. </p><p><a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a> <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/GEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GEM</span></a></p>

Cait the Proud Trans Woman<p>Just ordered some brekkie from Burger King. What? There's only one King in the world for me. </p><p>Actually, two. The other is Ledley King, the only King in the UK who gets his name capitalised by me. Fuck chuck^3. COYS. Down with the king, Up with the King!</p><p>ANYway...what I wanted to say was I had a delivery person who I've met before. I recognised his name as a Nigerian one, and confirmed it with him the first time we met, which made him smile. We talked briefly, I said I like learning about other Canadians, and off he went. </p><p>This time when he came, I'm wearing just a camisole and a skirt. My hair's up, no makeup, haven't shaved in a couple of days (I only do it once a week or when I'm going out - more just hurts my skin, and since it's white and quite thinned out with electro, I can't see it against my pale integument anyway, so it's minimally dysphoric). Just to set the scene. On my cami, I have a button that says "Trans Joy". </p><p>He came down the hall, said he thought it would be me when he recognised the building, and was very pleasant. When he handed the food over, he noticed my button, and he smiled, and said, "I thought I recognised you - weren't you on the stage at Pride last week? I went because I had never been around gay people before, and I wanted to see what they were really like. And everyone was so nice to me! No one hit on me, and when I said it was my first one, they gave me things to celebrate. It was wonderful."</p><p>All of this in a beautiful Nigerian accent, and with a huge smile. </p><p>There are days I truly love living where I do. </p><p><a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/HappyPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HappyPride</span></a> <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransJoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransJoy</span></a> <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a></p>

Cait the Proud Trans Woman<p>Missed my <a href="https://wargamers.social/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a> on Monday. Let's see. </p><p>I dyed my hair on Saturday morning, then buzzed the sides and back as I like them. I wanted to look my queerest for Pride Day, especially as I was to be on stage speaking about my history as a queer activist and elder. </p><p>For the first time, I managed to section my own hair as I applied the dye, and I got a gorgeous smooth job from one end of my hair to the other. People literally scoffed when i said I'd done it myself that morning. And I got nonstop compliments on my hair, including people shouting it from the audience while I spoke. </p><p>And all day, I felt safe in public as a very visible trans woman, greeted by plenty of people who know me (even if I'm not sure where I met them; as Michael has pointed out, there are a lot more audience members in my past than there are of me to remember them all), and people who didn't but wanted to say they'd loved my words or my look or my work. </p><p>So it wasn't a moment, it was a whole afternoon of bathing in trans joy, of queerness, of the undercurrent of protest in the air. My biggest cheer onstage was when I pointed out the first Pride in this community, 30 years ago, was an explicit protest. </p><p>These are my people, and I got to spend the day among them, and it was nonstop euphoria for 7 hours. Even on the LRT home, we saw queer people who called out Happy Pride to us. Unafraid to broadcast their queerness in public. </p><p>This is what life should be like for every queer person everywhere. I may only have twenty-odd years of activism left in this body (I'll be 80 in 2046), but they're going to be spent trying to see that come true.</p>
Sophie<p>It’s really amazing to look in the mirror and finally see myself. Every day. 💖</p><p><a href="https://anarres.family/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a></p>
Mïkê 💚 👑🐉🗡️🏳️‍⚧️<p>A few years ago, my face looked really feminine. It was cis passing in my high school graduation photo. Before I came out, while I had that photo as my profile picture on Instagram, I would sometimes get random replies from transphobes saying things like "your bio says he/him but you're clearly a girl?" A kid at one of my summer jobs saw me drive by and I heard him tell his friends "See? That's a girl."</p><p>But I didn't start transitioning a few years ago. I started a few months ago. I let my testosterone flow for way too many years (I first knew I was trans at least nine years ago), and it's been hard to forgive myself for that. When I take selfies now, I still don't look particularly masculine, but I also can't pass as a cis woman. I thought I lost that face.</p><p>Yesterday, I saw it in my reflection. I never lost it! I just needed to get the same angle my high school's photographer got.</p><p>This was a day after one of my friends from university called me gorgeous and said I was "probably gonna become the second coming post transition", a compliment I had a hard time accepting at the time. Now I definitely feel like it's true. <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TransGEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransGEM</span></a></p>
