To feel a bit better I thought I'd see how far I've come since day 1 Feb 8th this year - put on the same outfit, same location and took a photo (earlier was at night thus the worse lighting). I think I look a bit better. I know I feel a LOT better.

Sigh. Anti-affirmining morning. Got bloodwork for prostate, deadname all over the paperwork. At least it was quick, under 30 minutes car to place to car. Been 2 months+ since I sent in paperwork for my name change. Bloody slow government.

A new post - covering some happy moments in my life just to brighten the day - so many of us trans women have negative life experiences to deal with so lets dig into how I had a lot of happy moments even when forced to live as a guy. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Happy National Coming Out Day

For my first transgender coming out day I did a workout and used the women's changeroom for the first time. Zero issues of course, in my sports bra and tucking so nothing visible down there. My usual scared for no reason thing.

This shows what a difference 4 workouts a week plus a good diet can do, plus 4 months of HRT. The short skirt shot is in April at a Phases of Fit get together, the shiny gold skirt is the gathering in September (last weekend). Same top. 40 lbs less. Feeling so much better, so much happier.

Oh my what a weekend I had with the Phases of Fit crew, 9 trans women and 2 cis women sharing an Airbnb. Wild fun!

Well, decided screw it - lets put my transition story online. junenorthey.substack.com/p/my-trans-p...

Relaxing time with the grandson yesterday while dropping off my daughter at College.

Posted a couple of articles on substack. We'll, long notes maybe. Just starting to work on writing up my thoughts slowly. substack.com/@junenorthey...

Things going well. Got a mini-van now that my oldest is living here with her 1 year old. She has been cooking up a storm, making everyone healthier. Grandson loves climbing up me and will always know me as 'grandma'. So much good in life.

Nice day, my 20 year old got me the pin, my 11 year old stayed up till midnight to wish me a happy birthday. My other 2 called to wish me one too. I love my daughters.

Trans girls with glasses

Went for lunch with another trans woman today (Paula) at a nice cafe. Zero rude stuff, just super polite. Then to the downtown where there was a celebration of Indian culture going on - gave us free water bottles and no bad looks or reactions. Feeling more feminine daily.

Just approved for hormones treatment!!! Starts tomorrow. The journey continues.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!

Be kind - this is a shot of me after shopping with my daughter tonight. With a new shirt, purse, necklace, bracelet, and shoes.

For any American who thinks they live in a first world country, this shows you what real first world is.

How long until someone rises up and starts killing the terrorists MAGA has sent out to arbitrarily arrest people who dare to speak up? Every nation needs to advise that the USA is a no-go zone now.

Saw Cabaret last night (at a live theater in Woodstock) and boy does it hit hard with how things are going stateside. People saying 'it is just politics' and 'things wont change'. Sadly those who don't learn from history repeat it, and those who do learn see it come back due to those who won't learn

Well, Ford's incompetence continues - www.thestar.com/news/ontario... - somehow his $200 bribes are using old names people haven't used in over 40 years in some cases. And this guy claims he can run a province? No wonder we've seen billions lost in an assortment of horrid ideas by him.

@fangraphs.com is very addictive for me it seems. Love checking leaders in assorted categories by position, by overall team, etc.

Seems this article has been banned by Mr. Musk: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-the-j... I tried posting on Twitter, but it was locked out saying it was private information - if anyone is curious about what Mr. Musk doesn't want us to read. I'm curious if this site will block me as well over it.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,087,018! Right around the time they opened it up.

All of us who love research into space need to sign the letter of support here. Especially any Americans. This is a reminder of how messed up things are when stuff like this, where most costs are up front, are in danger of being cancelled during the low-cost, high-return stage of its life.
