This con helped show me what I could be, at cons and otherwise, and revitalized my excitement for a lot of stuff (cons included!) Now to see what I can do with that, including what other cons I can make happen this year. :D

I went on a huge ramble about BLFC on my Mastodon because it let me talk longer and hide the (slightly) spicy bits: https://awoo.space/@indi/100036132065729464 … TLDR: This was the best con I've had in recent memory, and probably in my top 5 overall. Thank you to everyone who helped make it awesome!

That all couldn't have happened without my local trans community and the broader trans movement. Even if my expression didn't shift from one end of a binary to another, it was still a gender transition, and it's important that cases like this be visible. We are so diverse. #TDOV

Getting rid of testosterone, facial hair, etc, helped immensely with my dysphoria about masculinization. That, plus a lot of thought and experimentation regarding gender and presentation, allowed me to find a gender expression that felt comfortable and simply correct for me.

Eventually more became available, and I gave non-binary transition a shot. For me, that actually meant many of the same medical steps as a transfeminine transition, but without the associated social transitions. This was not out of fear, or an unwelcoming environment.

FWIW, here is that story: I'm AMAB, and have been dysphoric about a lot of traditional male traits for as long as I can remember. For years I was stuck because 'to female' was the only available transition path.

I'm often so-so about proclaming myself as trans; that word in combination with my queer+masc presentation can sorta give the wrong idea about my story. Today, though, I'm here to remind folks that trans includes many different paths and approaches, and they're all valid. #TDOV

OMGs, such a good equinox rite tonight. Thank you so much to everyone who came, and may you all find your balance and support where you need it.

This is a very good deer. :Dhttps://twitter.com/SulkaDeer/status/975669260629528577 …

Trying to find wording to explain days off for seasonal ritual stuff is... fun. I think I've ended up saying "family event" and keeping the long explanation in my back pocket for any challenges (which I haven't gotten so far)

Aaaaaaa this has made me so happy I don't even know what to do, aaaaaa :D :D :D https://twitter.com/HousepetsComic/status/975605058409717760 …

Such a great con! to @phenokage @lobst @ice_foxx for dinner and good talks, and to @SulkaDeer and everyone else I danced with whose name I didn't get!

Allllso I'm feeling like I should use Twitter more again? I think the way I've been enjoying Mastodon gives me an idea of how I can feel good here.

VancouFur is great and I wish I could be here longer! Next year I think I'll actually try and go for the whole weekend. ^.^

Not as visible as I'd like: The reindeer-pelt cloak I made right before our household's yule ritual, and the hair leather-wrapping and spiral that I like so much I may wear them more often!
