Today is the day I go out into the world with no makeup and a week’s worth of facial hair growth, to see the dermatologist who will almost certainly tell me that laser (which is covered by provincial health) will do nothing for me and I’ll need electrolysis (which is not covered).

But at least after that I can come home and fucking shave.

Absolutely losing my mind trying to figure out how mastodon web and Ivory decide which open graph cards to display and which not to.

Documentation? What's that?

I wrote an article for folks struggling with what feels like an embarrassing secret. Maybe you feel like you have to keep this secret like I did, but today I'd like to tell you:

It's Okay to Want Boobs.

I am continuously gobsmacked how the significant changes to my outward appearance from #transition are miniscule when compared to the internal restructuring going on inside my brain.

I feel like a house that got a fresh exterior coat of paint while the interior was torn down to the studs, a whole bunch of those studs were replaced, and then a completely new floorplan was installed.

It is DIFFERENT in here, now. Way more roomy, way more comfortable, way more functional. Just… wow.

Stripped out the Automattic plugins I had running on my wordpress site, and then pulled all the other bullshit plugins trying to tell me how to optimize ("The title "Horrors and Abominations" does not have enough emotional or surprising words in it."). My posting experience is already improved.

Was going to replace the too-short chain that came with my estrogen necklace with a longer chain but then I thought, why do something simple and elegant when instead I can do something complicated and obtrusive?

Nevermind me, just shouting at the screen as #TheBuccaneers careens wildly through history paying little to no attention to basic facts.

I was today years old when I realized “FC” at the end of all those football team names stood for “Football Club.”

I feel like I scored some #BimboPoints.

One day they will make a Jason Statham movie where his character is just named Jason Statham and there’s no specific rationale for the action beyond somebody saying “those are badguys” and then Jason Statham beats the shit out of them. I look forward to seeing this movie.

(Which is not to say the man can’t act, he absolutely can. I’m just saying he doesn’t NEED to.)

Live footage from the end of the “I’ll buy this dress to take it apart and figure out how it goes together” to “I’m never taking this off” pipeline.

Head and bust shot of Mimsy in a white floral sundress fucking beaming in gender euphoria.

Today is my 365th day of HRT!

For the last year, I've been taking a selfie every day (without makeup, even!). Now I've turned them into a timelapse video so you can see a whole year of HRT changes in a little over thirty seconds.

I have been looking forward to sharing this for so long, I hope y'all enjoy it. :)

Okay, @ivory is definitely losing toots saved as Drafts. Maybe only or especially when they have photos attached?

miriamrobern, 2 months ago to random

Obligatory “I just get to look like this now” selfie. Seriously, what the fuck?

Okay time to put on my big girl boots and unload two storage containers. I'm gonna try to take it slow and safe, but pray for me and my back.

miriamrobern, 9 months ago to random

Well shit.

I'm done with voice training.

@sbelikeswords has bid me go forth and use femme-voice as I see fit.

Gaaaauuuuugggghhhhh.

Let the age of "Mimsy sounds weird as she gets used to this" begin, I guess.

Oh good, let’s play another round of Something In This House Is Beeping Sporadically.

18 months ago I came out as a woman.

Second-best decision of my life. I'm terribly lucky in that I've never regretted it once. I am SO FREAKING HAPPY it boggles my mind.

So it's a well-known effect/side-effect of feminizing HRT, but wow has my appetite gone through the floor. Not like "never hungry" but like, "it takes a lot less to satisfy my hunger."

This is colliding with my grew-up-poor impulses to always finish what's on my plate.

I never understood it when a woman didn't finish her fries, and now I sit there staring at half an order of fries, not knowing what to do with myself.

#Transition is weird, y'all.
