In early June I went to a local drag show at a bar my friend’s mom owns. It was her first time seeing me since my transition, and she was surprised with how happy and lively I was, compared to the masc person she had previously known. One of the songs the queen sung was very sad and she was deeply moved, and ended up crying on us pretty hard.

Apparently after that, she resolved to make a little care package for me to help me along in my transition. After all, buying a whole new wardrobe for yourself is very expensive lol. She sent me a message asking to meet her at the bar, and we ended up having drinks together and unboxing all the lovely things she got for me.

She got me two bags, two skirts, a dress, some boots, a pair of heels, fishnet tights, makeup, a target gift card, SO much stuff. I was really moved; nobody has ever done something like that for me before.

Anyway, I did a little mini photo shoot to show her how everything fit, and to tell her how much I liked it all! I think the pictures turned out alright, and felt like sharing.

    That is super sweet, and the stuff looks great on you!

    Also, I wish for this to happen in a movie, and when your friend('s mom) said “Welcome to the Gender” we’d be blasted by “Welcome to the Jungle” and a sweet ass training montage and triumphant “transformation complete” - silhouette - fade to black.

      LMAO, the perfect soundtrack. Montage of e injections and limitless attempts at winged eyeliner!

      Thank you!

    Love. Love. Love. The single shoulder black dress with the fishnets! Pair that with some heels that match the same shade as your lipstick 💄 and you will be fire! 🔥🔥 My best friend is gender fluid and I have given them many clothes over the years. I love people supporting others 💗 like this.

    Also your hair looks good and healthy!

      The dress makes me so happy. My friend’s mom told me it might be a good one to compliment my current shape, and I think she was spot on. She did get me my first pair of heels, but they are just black. I have many shoes to buy in the future lol

      Thank you!
