Job interviews on psychedelics are fun hey?

I tease. I’m glad someone’s joy of being themselves helped you find freedom to be yourself.

I grew up in a small town. Didn’t get exposed to other trans folks until my late 30s.

Joy is contagious :) And played a large role in my egg cracking. Also took a little help from some fungal friends.

Let go of my defense mechanisms and cracked my egg on mushrooms.

Imagine getting out of bed and realizing you’re a forty year old trans woman, who absolutely hates her entire wardrobe. And in a world that stigmatizes gender non-conformity.

But my partner was very supportive, and I spent the next few months replacing my wardrobe. Started on HRT. And life got better.

Scary. Still scared. But now I know I can love and be myself. And communication and understanding between my partner and I is much better too.

Happy HRT birthday! Love your name btw :)

Someday we will all be food for microbes and plants.

Edit: I actually find this comforting. It wasn’t sarcasm. Plants and microbes are our greater family. Knowing the molecules in my body will feed them when I’m no longer aware brings me a sense of peace and connection.
