the weather was so nice in Boston this morning that I went for a run (omg who even *am* I now lol) and once I got going I felt the first teeny independent m o v e m e n t in my chest and I swear the gender euphoria carried me a mile longer than I should've lasted

Update on the Great Kristen Coming-Out Tour of 2026 (East Coast Edition): went apple-picking and then visited my school roommate to tell him and his husband, and meet their 2 year old son. It went great! They were supportive and loving even despite me being a nervous, sobbing wreck throughout.

y'all I got partial results back from my first HRT bloodwork and Quest Diagnostics is VERY CONCERNED that my estradiol levels are out of range for a cis male

This is SO important. I love seeing y'all post your before/after pics but for those of us just starting out they sometimes make it difficult to keep in mind that transition takes time and we need to be patient with ourselves.

oh for fuck's sake Kristen, you didn't do your shot yet today, of course the vibes are super off Shot #10, painless, bloodless, but way more leakage than I think I've ever had 😢, can't wait to get today's blood test results back to see if these things are actually doing what it says on the box

today's defeat is that I made myself join a monthly online voice coaching group session my speech therapist's practice puts on and the leader starting going around making everyone introduce themselves and I immediately disconnected

followed up a very harrowing boymode public speaking experience this morning with what might've been a voice modification breakthrough in the car afterwards? rode that euphoria high for about 30 minutes and am now crying on my hotel couch for no reason whatsoever

obsessed and mystified by the photo matting decisions that were made in this hotel room

a triptych of framed photos in a hotel room. The center one is normal. The left and right ones are matted so the photos are in the corners, for some reason? Anyway, I've been starting at this for 10 minutes, so mission accomplished I guess

Third name in two months? Seems about right. But this one really feels like me, so I figured it's time for a new handle and new avatar. Hi, I'm Kristen, formerly Kate, formerly @heyzoekate. Thanks for sticking with me while I figure myself out. 🩷🩵

semi-urgent Q for the trans hivemind: my first blood work is scheduled for Thursday but just remembered my office is doing a vaccine clinic this morning. No idea whether it could possibly interfere with E or T levels but has anyone ever been told not to get shots close to getting your levels done?

every time one of these before/after memes goes around I experience the worst FOMO of my life, and at the same time the most hope. those of us just starting out need to see that better days are possible. please keep posting them and I'll keep swallowing my jealousy until I can finally join in

in the last 24 hrs I've crashed out in a therapy session, run 15 minutes late to a voice coaching appointment and got a stern talking-to from my speech therapist, and then fucked up an electrolysis appointment because I wasn't thinking and shaved yesterday. so yeah I'm killing it at transitioning

Kristen-terred ☠️ 🪦 👻 @rekristened.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

have seen two (2) trans girls in the wild on my weekend trip to the Carolinas. Hope they're being safe and wish we had a secret sisterhood handshake or code word to let them know I see them. (I considered smiling & nodding but am very aware I'll just seem like a cis dude clocking them at this point)

oh hey I forgot to post about Shot Day (does that mean it's becoming routine? dunno) anyway it was shot #8 and I was going to be traveling Thursday so I did it a day early and other than that I don't remember much else

absolutely terrible voice coaching appt this morning after being out late last night. felt terrible going in, wasn't able to collect my thoughts ahead of time, voice was lower and buzzier than normal because of dehydration/overuse. broke down crying midway through just hearing myself talk. A+ sesh

Shot day #6, messy draw this time for some reason (may have rushed it), no blood, no leakage, didn't hurt during the injection but got stingy right after. Am choosing to believe that's just the E getting to work

Question for fellow ladies-of-a-certain-age: are there any prescription skin treatments you swear by? I found an affirming dermatologist and I'm seeing them today and will be asking for a retinoid but if there are other things out there you like hmu

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

theverge.com

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Times I can recall having a good, solid cry in the 38 years since my mother passed away: 3 Crying jags just this week, my 4th on HRT: 3 ✅ texting with my daughter away at college ✅ watching some horrible video of a fascist ICE detention ✅ petting my dog and thinking about how he is a Good Boy

First electrolysis sesh today wasn't as bad as I feared? Aftermath (skin feels sunburnt, jaw tight like I've been clenching it for hours) worse than the actual treatment. FULL REVIEW Electrolysis: tolerable (haven't touched upper lip yet 😬) Androgenic hair growth: zero stars, would not recommend

Shot Day #4, subQ right side stomach. Small drop of blood, no leakage. Needle met some resistance going in which was new, but didn't feel it at all once it was in. Fun twist: had laser hair removal on that exact spot yesterday, so the pre-injection alcohol swab actually stung more than the needle.
