I'm a 40-something transwoman with male-pattern baldness. I can and often do wear a wig, but it seems unlikely that I'll ever fully 'pass.'

I've chosen to come out and live my truth regardless.

Anyone who tells me I'm not transing the right way because of this choice is hereby cordially invited to load themselves into the nearest trebuchet.

@seta @mxsiege I have been telling counsellors for 25 years how I have always felt like my intellect, my emotions and my body were completely disconnected and I always longed to be ... integrated ... and be in my body, feeling emotions. Anyway my counsellors were all shite. HRT completely sorted it. Like, I may not like my body and have emotional issues but I am HERE. Present. Me.

First photo is April 2017,

Came out May and started HRT June 2017

Second photo is February 2018 when I got ok at makeup,

Third photo is July 2018

Fourth photo August 2018 post facial surgery.

Fifth photo is same but with makeup.

Apologies that I can not bring myself to show you the 8 months after I came out. Too much pain in my eyes.

Much better pre transition headshot not fish eyed with depressio beard.

I'll re-edit it together sometime.

I don't have this commission from earlier this year on this account apparently

Last boost (showing a bunny girl in Spyro?) got me thinking of Lori from Jazz Jackrabbit 2, which iirc was a DLC character that I didn't initially play.

Some searching, and here's a feminist article using her as a metaphor for continuing sexism in today's world: http://thesydneyfeminists.blogspot.com/2017/01/what-i-learned-fromplaying-lori-theres.html

cw one of the game's characters has a "it's not offensive!" offensive name

“They vilify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this difference, they rob the poor under the cover of law, forsooth, and we plunder the rich under protection of our own courage; had you not better make one of us, than sneak after the asses of those villains for employment?" - Samuel Bellamy

the conviction that things are going to be okay, not because you have hope, but because you're going to do your damnedest to make sure things get better
