I’m coming up on my second hrt anniversary so for all my trans bros out there, this is me before hrt and me now (If you’re not transmasc plz don’t comment on my appearance!)

there's not a lot of difference! i still get misgendered in person. I still get misgendered on the phone.

I'm short. I'm not white. I'm not thin. I don't have super masculine taste.

you see a LOT of 1-year-hrt post where there's a huge difference on twitter dot com

I'm happy for those people but PLEASE remember those are the lucky folks who had the genetics and the resources to "pass"

and if you're not them? YOU'RE STILL PERFECT. Still lovely! still trans!

HRT needs to be for YOU. It needs to be a radical act of self love! <3

It can't be for cis folks. It can't be for the transmeds. It's not a magic bullet. It's something you do for self love

my photo isn't ever going to make numbers because im not a magical hot cis-passing dude. them's the breaks.

i'm still trans, i'm still a man. this was for me and even if i had a lot of health struggles these past two years I don't regret it at all
