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.

I have never disliked someone for being "too nice" or "the wrong kind of nice" It's possible there are people who feel that way, but they are likely bitter and awful and you shouldn't try to change yourself for them. 💜 Anyone who despises you is a jerk with bad taste. You're a delight.

Ways in which being trans fem and a vampire overlap: 1. I'm simultaneously seen as alluring and repulsive 2. I possess the weariness of many decades yet am also perpetually childlike 3. People are absolutely terrified that I will make more of me

Exactly! (Pretty sure mine is OCPD rather than autism but there's enough overlap in the behaviors that it ends up similar)

They finally added my favorite spirit, so now my scores are gonna be silly for a while. I should start making videos again...

Absolutely, I'd be like "Omg, Emmy, right? I follow you on Bluesky! Are you with the bride or groom?"

I actually really really appreciate this kind of honesty. 💜 I bet we'd get along great.

It's true! The chances of someone admitting to it are very low, so maybe we know several people it's happened to. 😅

Okay, but seriously, can you imagine someone having their egg cracked by a fortune cookie? If any short story writers want to take that idea and run with it, have fun! Would he hella embarrassing to have it happen that way in real life, though.

You're too late, fortune cookie. Someone already convinced me to try estrogen using this exact logic, like, 10 1/2 months ago.
A couple of fingers with longish unpainted nails hold a slip of paper from a fortune cookie. It reads "Don't wait. The time will never be just right."

I think it's important to note that I picked a no-makeup selfie for this. That's just my face now. I roll out of bed looking that pretty. Okay maybe I didn't grin as much when I am just rolling out of bed, but... You get it. 😅

For real. It has changed everything. I'm happy in ways I didn't know were possible. I actually like looking at photos of myself. I get distracted by mirrors. It has gone so much better than I expected and I'm not even one full year into it yet. 💜

We aren't close anymore, and don't talk often, but we're on good terms. I got in touch with her a couple of months to come out as trans and catch up a little. She was not surprised. She's apparently realized that she's pansexual, which is also completely unsurprising.

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
And so that's how I got together with my first girlfriend. We dated off-and-on for the rest of high school and the start of college. She encouraged me to grow out my hair and was also the person who first dressed me up as a woman for Halloween; more on that here, if you haven't seen it:

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
Turns out, *she* had a crush on *me* and didn't know how to ask *me* out. I was stunned. Like, honestly, finding out someone could have a crush on *me* felt like more of an egg-crack moment for me than my actual egg-crack moment. Let alone that it could be someone like *her*.
130
Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
But that day... That day she had arrived at school early and rushed to meet up with me where she knew I'd be in the morning. She ran up to me excitedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes!"
130
Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
It was a long email. Confessing my feelings, telling her I didn't expect her to say yes, but this was how I felt... I didn't know if she'd read it right away, and our schedules normally didn't overlap until the afternoon, so I was really anxious about how long I'd have to wait to hear an answer.
120
Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
But she had recently broken up with someone else in the friend group (yes my high school friend group was *messy*) and some part of me was like "You'll never know if you don't try for sure" so I asked her out. Not to her face, mind you; I was far too intimidated for that. No, I wrote her an email.

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
And I had... very low self esteem. I'm sure dysphoria was playing a big role there. I had pretty bad acne at that point (thanks first puberty) and just thought I was annoying and unattractive and why would anyone ever be interested in me, let alone an angel like her?
130
Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
I was *completely* convinced that she was out of my league. She was gorgeous and funny and cute and kind and fun to be around. Blonde hair down to her waist, beautiful green eyes, glasses. An absolute dream to a little sapphic nerd like myself.

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
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. 😅

Have you read The Devils by Joe Abercrombie?

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
I mostly played as Talim. Or custom characters, which was a feature I was obsessed with for reasons. 😅 I think that started in like SC3 or 4? And I've always been a Playstation gal. But yeah, other than that, same. 😂

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
Anyway, it's abandonware now, so I used DOSBox and installed it on my Steam Deck so I could finally use the custom portrait I always wanted to use.

Shawndra Quinn @shawndra.northsky.social · 30/09/2026
Saaaaame. The only other fighting game that comes close for me is Soul Calibur. For custom characters, I always kinda remember wanting to use the lady with red lipstick portrait, but ended up with the kinda androgynous dude portrait instead. 😅

A lot of my friends are tagging a whole bunch of people and that's lovely and awesome and I could probably fill 3-5 posts with that... But right now I want to thank you, specifically, Chelsea, for talking me into finally starting this journey, almost a year ago. That will always mean a lot to me.

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"

No loathing, but I definitely had an unhealthy dose of apathy. Now? I'm kinda obsessed with me. I mean, have you seen me? Damn.

I should dress as a woman for Halloween again this year, it's so funny how good it looks... a man, looking like a hot woman? Peak comedy.

Can a recording of me repeatedly shouting "Ow, the play button really hurts, please press the pause button, I can't take it, ow ow ow" feel pain? It at least behaves as if it does. 🤔

Yes! Genderfluid is a type of transgender. One of the super valid categories.

I hope you are eating by the time you read this. 💜 It's easier to be kind to yourself after some food. And omg you are such a trans person. I have never met a cis person who ties themselves in knots about their identity like we do.
