princess-chrysalis29: DAY 43 ON ESTROGEN: I’m doing well, these pictures are makeup free (most will be) to get an accurate picture of my transition:) I’ll break the awkward barrier of being trans just a few (maybe more) times on my blog, but while I was at the hospital I experienced my first cramps. In between the pain and confusion, I took a moment to think “How amazing is this?” I thought this development would come a lot later. I just want you all (cis and trans*) to understand while, yes, periods and cramps suck, how amazing this was for me. It’s complete bullshit to say that periods “make you a woman”, not to mention offensive to so many parties (including myself), but this was an incredible experience for someone who for years was misgendered for the lack of this, left out of conversations and classes and thought of as “not quite a woman” for this. To have a group of (wonderful) girls empathizing like I was actually a part of them and not “that not quite a girl”. This incredible thing happened to my body because of these patches. It was probably the first for certain change that made me truly happy from estrogen. As ridiculous as it sounds, I got happy when I got cramps.
