It’s been five years since I got bottom surgery. I’m not shy about celebrating that.

It’s often hard bring straight and trans when “LGBTQ+” usually gears towards cisgender, non-hetero issues. Being post-op and attracted to women, my rights are no longer threatened (in theory)—but the threat to marriage equality to the rest of my community is ever present and real.
In the ’00s, I’ve identified as a ”stone butch” lesbian; since 2011 I’ve identified somewhere within the trans community. My name change is legal; my medical transition complete. Even though I am attracted to women, my relationships will always be queer.
Maybe cis women need to dial it up to an 11 to compete, instead of forcing stronger women to dial things down against their will.
For all the TERFs who think HRT ruins our bodies, I say it heals instead.
When I hear cis men complain about being short, I remind them that at least they’re not short at both ends. 😝
