    My week was emotional but good! I finally came out to my brother as trans. I was so scared for his reaction.

    I prepared a letter, I read it out loud to him half crying and I noticed he had watery eyes too. When I finished reading he hugged me 🥰 and said he just want me to be happy and I felt soooo relieved. Afterwards I received a very thoughtful and supportive message from his gf, who I told him could tell too later. This helps me so much with accepting myself for who I am.

    I also baked a cheese cake and some french pastries for an Easter brunch at my mom’s. The brunch was great!


  • I see it a bit differently. I think your role in life is whatever you define it to be. Whatever makes you happy.

    Would you say any infertile woman is not a woman? Did they fail life because of it? Would you say people that don’t want children are neither men nor women? Is there a difference between being female and male? Sure! But not being able to bear a child doesn’t disqualify you as a woman. Gender is just a construct society made up.

    It’s good to question your identity, so you can be who you truly are.

    Edit: No reply… I was hoping for a good discussion, but I guess that’s out of the question as you did reply with insensitive and superficial comments to others 🤷‍♀️ You can do better









  • I had dinner with a couple of old close friends. I wasn’t ready to tell them about me yet. The whole dinner just felt weird not being able to talk about it.

    I didn’t know how to act: myself or pretend and I felt a bit sick going back and forward between them. It was good to see my friends but the whole thing was just exhausting.




  • Hi! Not really and answer, but I’m in a similar situation muscle wise. I decided to visit a dietician to reduce muscles altogether in a healthy fashion and she recommended taking no more than 20 grams of protein every 2 hours or so. If you take more it will go to muscle build-up.

    Still, it’s also important to get enough protein throughout the day, because you need it for just about anything (hair ✨ for one).

    Spreading your intake throughout the day helps with not building more muscle mass (and potentially reduce it). She also told me E helps a lot, but I can’t speak from experience Hope it helps!




  • Hiya! This week I wrote the letter for my brother, which I’ve been dreading to write, with in it everything I want to tell him. He means a great deal to me, but he makes casual transphobic and homophobic comments. And some are super disrespectful.

    I shared the letter with my mom (who knows, and is incredibly supportive 🥰) and she started crying and that made me cry just like when I wrote the letter 😭 She said it was great and contained everything. She’s so sweet, I love her so much!

    Now I still have to pick a moment to read the letter to him and I’m scared. I’m scared for his reaction.

    In other news, I started saying to myself that “I’m a woman” instead of constantly questioning it and it may seem dumb but it feels so good and fills me with confidence! 😊 I also started trying out my new name and it feels so right! I can’t stop giggling from happiness when I read it
