As a person just beginning my transition journey, I find that it is very easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom mentality, since there is so much negativity surrounding trans people right now.

I thought it would be nice to counterbalance that with some positive moments, gender euphoria, etc. that you all have experienced lately!

I'm very eager to see what has been making you feel good lately, and what makes transition worth the climb. Thank you!

I joined a women's roller derby league and it's the most fun I've had in a sport, ever! My teammates are super inclusive, kind, and treat me just like any other gal on the team. I love them all so much and I never would have met them had I stayed closeted. It also really works out my hips and lower body, while keeping a slim waste and avoiding anything shoulders which has really started to give me euphoria about my body lately.

My boobs are starting to fill in finally too, my partner noticed I had underboob the other day and I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror while giggling!

A bunch of my partners friends donated some clothes to me too, which really helped fill out my closet. Most of them fit me really well, and accentuate my body shape in a way I didn't know I could feel good about.

All in all, I'm 6 months in and couldn't be happier with my choice to transition, but it helps massively that I: A. Live in a blue state and B. have an incredible partner and support group who want nothing but to see me thrive as a woman.

Thanks for asking!

Whoa! That's great you have such a robust network of people who support you. Roller derby always looked cool as hell. Must feel awesome to fly across the floor like that. Thank you for sharing!

My coworker wants me to join, I just don't have the time or energy right now.

Roller derby is love, roller derby is life, please don't pass me the star pantie, I'll die. 😅

Please don't make me take it off, I'll die. 😉

Seriously, blocking is hard. Idk how ya'll do it.
