Yay, just heard from my gender team psychologist that the team had evaluated my case and approved referring me to the endocrinologist for #HRT It took a while (8 appointments + 2 1/2 years on a waiting list) but I&#39;m finally starting my medical #transition #TransWoman

@Melissabeartrix Well between 2004 and now I gained trans friends, had a family member come out as trans and transition, and worked out I was trans and am now socially transitioned and just started on HRT last week, I&#39;m gonna have to go with a HELL YES?!

My latest #trans update as a #transwoman . Started on #HRT on the 18th, it&#39;s still early days, but I&#39;ve had no adverse effects up until now, so I&#39;m REALLY happy about it. Also had my mandatory appointment with a gender psychologist this morning to get my official medical certification so I can start the process to change my name and gender markers in the Dutch person identity register. Legal identity as Natalie here I come!

I&#39;m so stoked! I&#39;m at the start of my second month on feminising #HRT and I&#39;m feeling my first physical effects. My nipples are sore! I think it&#39;s hilarious that I&#39;m so happy about this. 😂 🥰 #transwoman

@theresnotime Wait, what, they&#39;re complaining about a private range non-routing IP address? That&#39;s WILD.

Hi everyone, sorry I&#39;ve been away for so long. Real life was getting in the way of posting, but things should be settling down a bit. Anyway, here are the dogs. 🥰

I&#39;ve come a long way since I came out to my family in December of 2021. I&#39;ve been on HRT for 7 months now. Just a reminder for myself. (Fotos are left to right: today, and March 2022) #transition #transgender

I&#39;m in a mood to celebrate a little. I finally got my legal transition sorted so I am now legally called Natalie Romana. 🥰 Thankfully the process here in the Netherlands isn&#39;t as bad as it could be.

So there I was, on my first foray into #astrophotography when I see a bunch of weird streaks across my pictures that are definitely not meteor trails. Turns out I caught the recently launched #starlink 12-20 cluster on camera... Photo&#39;s taken from the Boschplaat on #Terschelling in the Netherlands on 4-3-2025 between 04:38:21 CET and 04:48;49 CET, facing NW

@Hyperiontrails I get that they are an absolute blight for visual astronomy, especially just after launch. I initially thought I had somehow messed up my camera until I showed the images to a friend of mine who&#39;s heavily into keeping track of space tech. I thought they might be starlink, and he confirmed the launch and trajectory matched my location and shooting direction.
