Gah, I made the mistake of spending a week back on Twitter. It’s seriously not good for mental health. Firing up this account again in the naive hope that it’ll scratch that social media itch

Feeling a bit embarrassed that I forked out a few dollars for an AI yearbook. No, I don’t think I’d have looked like a young Kelly Cuoco.

Three years ago, I never thought that I’d someday fly an Airbus. And I ABSOLUTELY did not think I’d be doing that while wearing a bra 😂😂😂

If you care about this stuff & want to learn a ton, @gains-skeets.bsky.social wrote up maybe the only professional evidence-based guide for training trans athletes, based on scientific research AND a decade of training trans clients. The transphobic arguments are bullshit, here’s what’s important

Training Considerations for the Trans Athlete
Trans athletes are often discriminated against based on some perceived athletic superiority they may have over their cis peers. However, current scientific and practical evidence suggests otherwise....

Hair check rescheduled for a month from now. Continuing to lose weight. It’s beginning to sink in that my bottom surgery is really going to happen. After all these years, finally having a body that’s *right*

I posted this a couple of days ago. Older friend didn’t put her reading glasses on and thought I was preggers 😂 Naw, you get over having COVID.

This week’s resolution: no more peeking at Twitter even through news links. I quit before, made a new account just to read articles but even that’s toxic. Stay here in my new happy Blue Sky home

This really shouldn’t be surprising. They’re boobs. But there’s a lot of bigots who really hate the reality that sexual characteristics are mutable. www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/27/t...

Big feels. Exactly this for me too. I remember starting my Twitter account and discovering transgender women leading amazing and happy lives. I wondered if I could do the same. I did. I will do my best to help remake that space here.

the one thing, above all, I’d suggest to the newskies: be kind block and mute the shitheads, don’t engage them if at all possible, and just… treat people with respect we have a real chance to build a better culture, let’s take it

Sunday afternoon musing. I’ve been living as a woman for a few years now. As time goes on, I have difficulty remembering what living as a man was like. Even my memories are shifting. In my mind’s eye, I remember myself as female. I know it’s not true but I can’t envision myself as a guy.

Gah. I’ve got a chance to upgrade to Captain within the year. Look, it’s both crazy good money and also very important to me. I feel we need more women captains— there’s a definite glass ceiling at my airline. But I’d be Florida based.

Trying to rebuild transgender connections here while remaining somewhat anonymous. Trans Twitter was a special place for me but I had to delete my account because of harassment even before Elon took over. Hoping this space will grow. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Sadly, I found out who Chloe Come is today. Apparently makes her rent money by claiming she was “rushed” in gender affirming surgeries by Kaiser SoCal Um. That’s my HMO. Pretty complete coverage BUT dang, the waiting list. I mean, I’ve been waiting for a year to even get a date for FFS and BA.

Shower thought— before I came out as trans, I had two trans friends and had exchanged words with a trans lady. Knew of two others. That’s five. At 0.6% of the population I’ve probably met a couple hundred. I was a closeted trans chick and *I* couldn’t tell. There’s more of us than people know.

Got my Birdie in the mail today. Tried it out— very loud and bright. At home, sticking with my pepper spray but can’t bring that through TSA Be safe, everyone. Transfemmes— gals, we’re vulnerable in way we never were before. It’s wrong but it’s true. Trust your gut www.shesbirdie.com

Running into sexism at work is kinda the opposite of gender affirming. Had a Captain take it upon himself to gtell my Chief Pilot I “lack confidence” He’s covering his butt on a go around that he should have called for and I ended up initiating. “He said you’re sweet but uncertain and soft spoken”

Mechanic said “Safe flight, Amelia!” to me yesterday. Still affirming in so many ways. Also. No, Amelia isn’t my real name 😆

So. First Blue Sky post. Miss the old Trans Twitter. As horrible as the rando bigots were at times, it was the first place I spent a lot of time talking to actual trans folk. Wait, they lead fairly normal, happy lives? And I could too— maybe?
