@oldladyplays@wargamers.social After years of questioning, then denying, then accepting and hiding my gender and orientation I started being honest with myself about a year ago. The transition has been slow but one small step was creating an account here and being open about it. It's not much but it feels so good and everyone here has been so nice.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social I'll try in english for those here who want to read it without knowing french language. Beware of my mistakes in grammar en voc (it is okay to correct me. I'll ask for it, it can make me progress) To understand the following very big text : I am a trans man, non binary (agender) But if I am out as trans with a very few IRL people, none of them know about my Non-binarity. Or they know about nothing (just I am a man "like them" in their point of view) Or they know I am a trans man, nothing more. My joy start with some negative thoughts: since autumn 2015 about, my "Roommate" and I are isolated from queer association or queer community. For us, it is only here, online and it is far far far from beeing enough. (But it's better than nothing, thabk you all for being here. Really.) And I think I lost my "transness" I mean, we are still aware to be trans, but, I, I spoke only for me, not for her, I forget often that I am trans I forget I am a man, for people around us. I forget I am not "supposed" to be a little girl when younger I forget that part of my identity It is a very complicated state because, I know, I am aware to be careful to not speak about me as "when I was a little girl" And, in the same time, I no longer feel being trans. I don't know if it means something. We are very very isolated. We love where we live but : lonely (about queerness) 1/ ?

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social How about some joy that is coming up soon? June 12 will be the 30th anniversary of getting my name changed and I'm really looking forward to celebrating that day. It feels really good to know that I've made it this far! #TransJoy

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social I recently put rainbow shoelaces in my boots that I got at pride (mainly because my lace broke and they were the only ones I had left, lol). A co-worker complimented me on them and it made me feel really nice. I've been pretty cis-presenting in recent years, mainly because I'm too lazy to goth it up in my old age, but I've been trying to find subtle ways to express my genderqueerness - cool suspenders, patterned socks, etc. I might try braiding and beading my beard on occasion. Just a few touches to make me feel more like myself

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social I had a girls' afternoon with a bunch of girls and they fully embraced me being openly and vocally trans without ever making me feel the slightest bit out of place for being the only non-cis one. I count it as #TransJoy because I'm different and I still belong. I *am* the same as the cis girls without pretending I'm *made* the same way. And they were all about letting me feel that way. Differing but not being something abnormal. I'm struggling to phrase what I mean but hopefully it comes across between the lines.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social Yesterday, in the laundromat, with a pair of #knitting needles. I have a few largish floor rugs, too large for a home washing machine, not large enough (or valuable enough) to call in a steam cleaner, so I occasionally bring them to a laundromat with big machines. And while they're washing, I knit. In this case, a gorgeous half-circle lace shawl in a hand-dyed silk & mohair thread. Quadruple takes from some of the clientele.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social A friend and I (we're both disabled by chronic illness) were able to visit the Crystal Springs Rhododendren Gardens last week. It's rare when we're both well enough to do something together. No photos, but it was lovely! So many flowering trees/plants! https://csrgpdx.org/ My husband and I have an annual pass but for certain groups (eg, folks on SNAP EBT) the garden has "pay what you wish" admission: https://csrgpdx.org/community-access-program #DisabledJoy #PDX #Portland #Gardens

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social Trans Joy # 1 Just a few days ago I spent the afternoon manly wielding a sledge hammer to destroy my deck. Trans Joy # 2 I took a shower after wielding above sledge hammer and then went on tidying things up, getting dinner ready... And I suddenly realized I never bothered to put on a shirt after my shower. I was doing all that topless. Big hit of gender euphoria discovering my brain fully consider my breast male and not worth covering.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social Oo, my #TransJoy was hanging out with an aroace enby last night, as we lived our best fucking lives and looked beautiful (me) and handsome+gorgeous (them; they rock the “Gender? I’ll have both!” look). They (and others, but especially they) spent like half an hour tearing apart some white men over dinner. It was glorious.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social Meeting up with a couple of trans friends on Friday and enjoying a Steve Hackett concert. And tomorrow (Monday the 25th) will be an anniversary of sorts, as my transition began 7 years ago! And all the hugs, and may you find joy in this difficult time. 🫂 #transjoy

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social My joy? Getting to spend as much time as possible with the rather wonderful @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt We both transitioned later in life, and while I don't regret that as it is those lives that ultimately led to us being together, I would *really* like to be able to claim some of that time back now, please! 💞

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social I finally scheduled what should be my last stage of bottom surgery and am thrilled even though it is six months away. I first had bottom surgery 3.5 years ago and started gender affirming surgeries 5 years ago. So it’s been a long road. Edit: the specific amazing joy I still get every time I get to stand to pee with my own plumbing. It took 5 surgeries but I can pee in a urinal now. Will be glad when it’s all complete soon!

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social My joy today is that I asked for a thing. Most places offer a warranty for their plants, I've never tried to call this in before, even when I really could have. It's just never felt like it's worth the stress and effort before. Last year, I had a landscaper put in a bunch of plants, almost all of which came through beautifully. A couple crapped out for no clear reason, a couple crapped out due to less-than-ideal care on my part. I don't so much care about the 3 small ones, but one of the "crapped out for no apparent reason" plants was a tree. It's both decently expensive and too big for me to deal with myself, so I contacted the landscaper about the warranty. (Double joy, he's happy to cover it!)
