Ten years ago today, I met my (second) spouse for the first time and we took a walk in the woods together. We talked about divorce, and trauma, and reinvention, and lots of more fun things. Ten years, one kid, and two transitions later we're even more happy to have found each other.

Mustache is hard to see but I promise it's there.

They still fit! Although I need insoles and thick socks now. But gosh are they heavy, and kinda masc for my taste now. Maybe I need to pretty them up with laces.

Just noticed *her* for the first time, and now I really would like to know what her deal is. This is just one of the many reasons I know I'm gay.

I can imagine! My friend gave me this one, and it spoke to me. Then I got excited about Trish Carden and thought maybe I'd start collecting her old stuff. I don't remember if I showed you this one before? Anyway, I only ever collected the two. 😆

Hi! It's Cassidy. I used to have a penis. Now I have a vagina. That's incredibly cool!

Lookit this cute doofus. Having a blast at one of the gender-affirming clothing swaps I organized on campus last year.

I guess I'm officially in day 4 of recovery now. I want to go home so bad. But my nurse tonight is the sweetest. Another day and a half, maybe?

Cassidy sits in a hospital bed. She has purple hair. She looks tired and bored.

Doing all the girl things this week! We got facials yesterday and mani-pedis today. Getting my eyebrows shaped and my lashes tinted on Tuesday, and then getting my vagina installed on Wednesday!

Another "leftist" who wants trans kids to suffer through puberty. It's true, the damage done by denying kids access to medical treatment until after puberty cannot be undone. Block accordingly.

KQ5.bsky.social: "many people are pushing to have the surgeries and hormone blockers as young as 11. The damage done in those 7 years can't be undone."

Surgery is in two weeks, so this is my last chance for the beach this year! I haven't been very interested in the beach since I was a kid. Since I rediscovered myself, it's the best thing!

It's not the most complicated thing in the world to make, but I'm still extremely proud of how good my saag paneer and butter chicken are. It's getting to the point that I prefer my own to ordering.

I got everything they told me I would need for surgery recovery. Seems like maybe there should be more? I don't know.

So, ah, I guess I'm lighting up the trans Warhammer Bat Signal or whatever, because there's a new edition of Necromunda coming out and I want to start hosting game nights at my house again. It's been a bit, but we were *pretty* into it for a while. Any girlies in West Philly wanna come over?

UK income inequality has been *increasing* since the early 1990s. The wealth share of the bottom 50% of households is the lowest it's been since 1970, and the top 10% are the richest they've been since the 70s.

Graph of the wealth gap in the UK over the last hundred years. The bottom 50% of people have never held more than 6.2% of total wealth, and the top 10% have never held less than 46%.

Nope, it was both the Republican and Democratic parties that pushed previous non-voters *out of the green section* to vote for Trump.

Lookit this absolute goof. Posing with my rack of secondhand clothes, running my fifth and final clothing swap of the school year.

Spent my vacation getting constantly misgendered (along with my spouse and kid) by my in-laws. On the other hand, my MIL made me some pretty great earrings for my birthday. I've wanted a d'ja pagh since early in my transition!

A girl got pretty and presented at a conference! It's wild how much I LOVE an audience now, after 46 years of never wanting to be the center of attention.

Cassidy stands at a lectern in a saucy pose. She's a white femme with short, curly red hair. She wears a shirt denim jacket, an aqua skirt, and a red t-shirt with a circle design. Behind her on the wall is a screen showing the title of her presentation: "Mind Your Ts and Qs: Community Care in Times of Uncertainty"

I need to get better at taking outfit selfies. This was what I had time for today.
