Newly hatched lesbian trans woman still figuring everything out. Monogamously married. Mostly, I post about games, hobbies, and comics. And I guess now probably a lot of trans stuff. She/her.

Can you believe I just get to look like this all the time now?

This reminds me of a story... I never had this *exact* experience, because I've been happily and monogamously married since long before my transition. However, in high school, I had a crush on a cis girl that felt like it had a similar energy. 😅

True story.
Comic with 12 tall panels

Before Halloween: Depressed-looking "guy"
On Halloween: "He" is dressed as a woman and looks surprised and awkward
After Halloween: Depressed-looking "guy"

This repeats 3 times, then shows the "guy" for "5 years later" and "10 years later" and then finally shows a beautiful woman labeled "20 years later"

It's funny how this stuff works... I've known my wife was bi for probably 15+ years, but when I came out as trans to her mom, she also had to come out as bi to her. 😅 I don't think she was truly *closeted* exactly, it had just never come up between them.

This is so real. Recently I started actually mentally perceiving myself. Thinking of how I look when doing mundane tasks. Picturing my face, my expression, my stance. By comparison, I used to just feel like I was in an FPS. I was perceiving the world, but not really perceiving my place in it.

We made it really far today! Armor sets are almost fully upgraded (just need a bear trophy for Mimi) and we have a working portal system. Also, we have a giant pit that Mimi mined all the copper out of for luring bears into. 😅

Y'all, I am COOKING, this one is going to be a blast to write. 8 trans people in a secluded mansion in the woods, and access to a knife that lets them undo their worst traumas. Via stabbing them. Follow along as I write, the quoted post is the start of the first chapter.

You have til midnight PST! $6.25 for the book that has nothing but 5-star reader reviews on both Storygraph and Goodreads. And also it's hot and it's sweet and and it's mean and it's hopeful. emoriaweidner.itch.io/aftertaste-a... #booksky #writesky #trans
"[Aftertaste is] right up there with I Saw the TV Glow and Nimona."
- Pippa Primini on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"An incredibly important piece of trans literature, one that I hope is seen by everyone..."
- Ashlynn Vanner on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"Compelling characters, outstanding story, the occasional eerie feeling that the author had somehow managed to peer into my own past before setting word to virtual paper."
- Jaz Sakuranoseirei on Storygraph, 5 Star Review
"Not only did I end up enjoying it, it is now my absolute favorite piece of transgender fiction I've ever read."
- Shawndra Quinn on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"I knew I was in for a treat, but I was woefully unprepared for how much Emoria sees and 'gets it' about the nature of being a trans woman and fighting the demon of our dysphoria."
- Brooke on Storygraph, 5 Star Review
"I've sought out and been recommended a lot of different portrayals of the trans experience - and while all of them contained nuggets that struck a chord with me, none of them have made me feel as seen as Aftertaste did."

It's funny how I never lived in any of the marked cities, but I grew up north of there and spent most of my adult life south of there, so my dialect seems to be somewhere in the middle.

Take advantage of this, I promise it's worth it. I'm fucking broke but whatever, I'd much rather just have people read and talk about my book than make money.

Just finished Aftertaste.
First and foremost: I love you.
Secondly: Fuck.
I've been "dealing with stuff" for a few years.
And I didn't see a good path forward.
And you changed that.
Thank you,
and fuck you,
and I love you.

shortly after Allison posted this, she sent me the attached DM. Aftertaste is a toxic yuri, but the lesbian relationships in it aren't the toxic core. The book isn't about surviving a partner, it's about surviving yourself. And you can survive yourself. You will. #booksky #trans
Hi um, i just want to say Aftertaste was one of the best pieces of trans fiction I ever read. I consumed the entire thing is basically one go (yesterday until like 5 this morning) and you captured what I can only describe as the perfect description of my own experience with dysphoria and dissociation. So, thank you. For putting into words what I never could

Everyone, look. I know this timeline isn't great. There's a lot wrong with it. But. Florence Pugh is an actress in this timeline. We get to watch her amazing performances in two of my favorite Marvel movies and one of my favorite Marvel shows. She's great in all of them. So it's not all bad.

Holy cow. Saw Brand New Day. It might be my new favorite movie, full-stop. It was everything I've ever wanted from a Marvel movie and simultaneously hit me on a deeply personal level. Also, I know I'm still new to this mix of hormones, but it's also the first time I've ever cried in a movie theater.
