Rocking some new, feminine glasses from @BonLook! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes"> #MyBonLook
Taught Google Assistant how to pronounce my new name correctly! (It defaulted to "care-uh" but I& #39;m a "car-uh" gal).
Google Home -> Assistant Settings -> Nickname -> Spell it out
Remember that Norwegian pattern book I was so excited about ordering a few weeks ago? I was excited because I realized now I can knit myself SKIRTS https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes"> Going to make this! Google Translate& #39;s camera scan was surprisingly accurate.

Ran into a former student who had just dropped by the school:
Her: BEN!! How are you?
Me: I& #39;m great! Except, it’s actually Kara now! *points to name/pronoun pin*
Her: That& #39;s fantastic! I& #39;m so excited for you.
Then she asked her kid to say "hi to Kara."
And THAT& #39;S how it& #39;s done.
My first-ever dress arrived today!! I bought it from @eShakti. I tried it on and I am OBSESSED. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Star-struck" aria-label="Emoji: Star-struck"> Size/style customization made it exactly what I expected. All I need are shoes and I can wear it to work. So excited.
I decided I need to try carrying a medium handbag, and as luck would have it, this Doctor Who–themed one was available from local crafter @madeby_meag! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes"> It doesn& #39;t get any better than this.

Happy International Day of Pink!!
A colleague texted me this tonight. Made my night. My coworkers have been A+ supportive and affirming in my transition.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Growing heart" aria-label="Emoji: Growing heart">I could not ask for better people around me as I explore my new self.
ICYMI (and so I can add it to this thread), last week’s blog post about how the current situation is affecting my transition and thoughts on my gender: https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020/04/collapsing-the-gender-wave-function/">https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020...
New blog post: I decided the best way to address @Petsmart’s thoughtless government-ID requirement was to blog about how they, you, and everyone else can do better at being trans-inclusive! https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020/04/being-trans-inclusive-takes-work/">https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020... https://twitter.com/tachyondecay/status/1252346466443485185?s=20">https://twitter.com/tachyonde...
