Hey girls and friends!

I am kinda timid even if I really like social contact, and for most of my life I have mostly had guy friends. I guess it’s because it’s easier to approach and be approched by guys when you whole body says that you are a guy… Also I was a student in computer science so there are mostly guys. Essentially my close-friends group is mostly trans girls and non-binary AFAB and guys. It’s been a bit of an anxiety of mine that cis women wouldn’t see me as a woman, but as a kinda creepy guy…

This week I contacted an old girl-friend of mine from Highschool and suggested that we had a drink since we hadn’t seen each other in years. I also came out by message. The discussion at the bar was great and it was basically the first time that a cis woman welcomed me into womanhood. She discussed about how being a woman was awesome and that I will love it. This is so great. I have essentially never had a AFAB person tell me how womanhood is great, only about how bad it is.

Yesterday I attended another social event and the few girls there also treated me as one of their own. So yay, I place this week under the umbrella of “Being accepted by cis girls” and I love it! Much acceptance and validation <3

How’s it for you? How was your week?

    being accepted by other women is one of the best parts of transition, tbh - I know not every transfem feels this way, but for me growing up being perceived as male by other women was painfully alienating, and I didn’t get along with other boys that well.

    Finally being seen as a woman (and thus treated as one) somehow just feels so right and normal, and it’s like I’m finally able to integrate with society.
