For someone that wrote books in which the characters are constantly #transitioning into cats or something, #jkrowling sur hates #transitions.
Totally Terflogical though; cats don't visit bathrooms.
Shame on #Trans people for their desire to relieve theirs selves of their urine when they are somewhere else then their home.

Transitioning can be more than moving from one end of a binary to the other.

There are all sorts of ways that nonbinary people transition. Some journeys are essentially the same as binary women and men. Others take a winding path that includes some changes and not others. Still more will go through cycles of change.

There are as many ways to go through a nonbinary transition as there are nonbinary people, and all are real options.

A man commented that it’s a privilege to transition. To make things worse, a woman agreed with him.

You can transition to any extent as a nonbinary person (as can other trans people).

You can change nothing at all beyond your label. You can take all the steps that trans men or women may typically take. You can try a mix of it all.

It's your journey and you get to decide how to pursue it.

You should be able to decide how to embody your nonbinary nature.

Your body is yours to dress and shape as you choose, and it is very adaptable.

Any forces that impede your needs in this are unfortunate at best and unjust at worst. In any case, such barriers are undeserved.

Okay well, since I have a little more visibility now (hi, thanks for being here, love you ​​), could y'all kindly point my ADHD ass to the manual on how to be a girl?¹ ​​ (see edit for specifics)

I don't know how I come off, but I am anything but calm and collected right now and could use a little direction. ​​​​

I am likely the most unprepared cracked egg you've ever met.

Edit: To narrow the scope, the biggest unknown to me is the actual medical process of transitioning. Like, I don't know who to talk to or how to start receiving care/consultation and I don't know what pitfalls to look out for. I would love general advice on how/where to begin and start building my timeline. Oh and I'm hovering above poverty line (as many are ​​) so that's something else I need to navigate (though I think my state is good for it).

Happy to chat about this all privately via Signal or Matrix if that's easier. Just DM to coordinate.

Edit edit: Sorry for me trying to be funny getting in the way, I tend to deflect difficult to process things with humor.

¹ joke, I know there's no one source

To achieve permanent hair removal, there is only one FDA-approved option — electrolysis. This procedure is done by a technician who inserts a thin probe into the follicle and applies electric current. The produced heat damages the follicle’s ability to produce new hair.

The process of transitioning can be difficult and imperfect. It's often painful, complicated, and far from a linear process. For nonbinary people it's even harder to find anything resembling an end point.

It's much the same as any kind of personal growth. There's pain and unexpected turns in the journey, but it's an experience that ultimately adds to your character.

Embrace the wilderness of it.

You're nonbinary whether or not you transition.

You're still nonbinary if you start taking different hormones or have surgery to feel more at home in your skin. You're still nonbinary if your body is already how you need it to be.

You are nonbinary and so are your choices.

My name is Kira, and I’m a trans woman and counselor specializing in #transgender care. This is the second part of my interview with Danny Kelly, a 61-year-old trans man from #Canada who transitioned at 56.

In case you need to be reminded, transitioning as a nonbinary person is worth the trouble.

You deserve to take the time, resources, and help necessary to change.

Becoming the best you is worth it for yourself and for your community.

Today we'll talk about the positive side and will figure out why and how you can benefit from transitioning in adulthood or at an older age. There is no absolute answer, but maybe you'll feel connected to some of the points I'll talk about today.

If you are in a long-term relationship when you start to transition, you are not transitioning alone. Your partner is, too.

Transitioning involves taking hold of your own fate in a uniquely powerful way.

You can be proud of that power.

If you need permission to look into medically transitioning as a nonbinary person, I'm giving it to you.

Gender affirming care is something that belongs to you, too (regardless of the various legal barriers you may need to overcome).

You deserve a chance to explore and feel happy in your skin.
