I'm glad I buy most of my clothes second hand

If every adult in UK bought half their next wardrobe second hand it could prevent 12.5 billion kilos of carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere

Good morning beautiful friends
I wish you a peaceful start to the new week
I hope the sun is shining and the coffee tastes extra nice, and someone gives you a hug (if not then I can send a box of hugs your way)

It may not be tdov anymore but I’m still trans af, visible, and proud af of my #trans identity
And I’m proud of all my trans and enby siblings for just being.

Take care and stay safe

Saturday #ootd

Wishing you all a calm and peaceful weekend

Walk, brunch, some errands. Nice to see some spring blossoms blossoming, even if the weather is still unsettled and not friendly.

My skin is playing up, and the only thing I can think of is the series of cortisone shots and tablets that I had for my shoulder. Ugh

Sending hugs and forehead kisses to all my beautiful trans and enby siblings

Blue Friday

#secondhandfashion

Therapy this morning
Was really useful to dump my thoughts, especially about the weird convo I had with my mum who asked ‘are you keeping something from me?’ and I dodged the question, but yes, I am. There’s lots, because I’m not sure you’ll be able to understand my motivations, or why this or that is meaningful for me.
I don’t see any advantage to anyone for her/them to know about upcoming surgeries, but I would like them to know about the joy being me brings, and the pain I feel when my siblings are being attacked or worse.

Good morning beautiful friends
Happy 🐪 day to you
Today I’m in mostly black
#secondhandfashion skirt, singlet, boots, and scarf, new cardigan

Physio this morning, then another retrace of yesterday’s walk to see if I can find my jacket and keys…… still hoping someone does the right thing and hands the keys in at least

The cortisone injections in my shoulder weren’t working so now I’m on tablets instead. Fingers crossed that they help. I keep forgetting how much pain there is if I move my arm in the wrong direction; yesterday trying to swat a moth…… nearly threw up 🤮😭

Happy weekend beautiful friends
All black outfit today, secondhand cardigan , singlet, skirt and boots! Feeling fierce and ready for demon slaying.

My jaw is still stiff from yesterday’s drilling session, my shoulder is still knackered, and the news is still best avoided

Take care and stay safe xx

Late #ootd #secondhandfashion

Just been to get one of my molars ground into dust…. It was too decayed to fill. Will be getting a ceramic crown in a couple of weeks.
Fuck I hate having tooth work done

Also first outing for these s/h timberland boots

Trying to calm my mind
This week has been too much already

I’ve seen people speculating that this vile, preventable tragedy could be a turning point for how trans people are treated in the uk. Thoughts?
I’m heartened by the response of the community, the speed and number of vigils happening throughout the country this week. I’ve seen beautiful photos from the one in Bristol on ig

In the meantime I’m not going anywhere
I will continue to be proud of my journey
To fight for my siblings
To be visible
To manifest #transjoy #transjoyisresistance

Feeling somewhat stuck in this 1910-ish vibe (not historically accurate ofc)

Not complaining 😌

• Skirt: Indiska (thrifted)
• Blouse: Swedish vintage, approx 60's (gifted from my Nana)
• Belt: thrifted
