Happy 4/20 everyone! I recently started drinking coffee in the last year after never really liking it. Growing up I would try my mom’s coffee every once in a while but it always tasted burnt and bitter. Looking back I realize that I didn’t like that coffee due to my mom usually steeping it in a French press for 15-20 minutes.

I got into coffee in the last year due to my roommate who worked as a barista making me some and it being actually flavorful. But we were using a drip coffee machine and it wasn’t strong enough for my liking. Before I actually started drinking coffee I liked to watch coffee gadget reviews cause I thought they were interesting? Which is how I found out about the aeropress which is my way I make my coffee in the morning.

The aeropress is kind of a three one thing cause it’s a pour over, French press and manual espresso machine all in one, in addition I use a hand crank burr grinder to grind my beans and typically only add a bit of creamer as I want to taste the coffee as much as possible I also usually use medium roast beans.

How do you take your coffee/tea?

    I gained 20 lbs while I was in surgery recovery, and I really like how big my boobs got on it… wish I could lose 20 lbs but keep my new big fat tits. This rocks.

    bottom surgery

    Got to use my actual dildos on myself. Having a vagina is awesome!! You just keep going, has vibe inside feels good-weird. I never did any ass play, so this is all a first. My prostate is reachable through my vagina which is also great 👍

    I only bought this fuck-off huge ones cause they were fairly close to my old size (ones a little longer but skinnier, the other is pretty bang on) and everyone Ive topped has been a size queen. I am not a size queen lol, I have never claimed to be, as great as these are they would probably be more fun if they were smaller.

    Lunch lady commands me to give my glasses to her

    I obliged with 0 hesitation

    She cleans them and hands them back to me

    “Much better, right”

    “Yes …”

    “You gave me your glasses with 0 hesitation, you trust me that much?”

    “Yes …”

    “If I asked for your wallet, would you also give it?”

    “I don’t have a wallet but if I had one, yes”

    HRT has caused me to take better care of my appearance.

    It used to be the case that people would assume I was homeless and would try to donate clothes and shoes to me (this is not a joke, I’ve had occasions on the train station where people would take off their personal belongings and try to donate them to me*).

    Now? People ignore me. Which is … not really sure that’s much better …

    It is somewhat nice to have people randomly pity you and try to give you shit. Makes you feel like the world cares. But I also like feeling like I’m sad and small and pathetic.

    *this happened mostly in the winter where I wore clothes so skimpy people thought I was freezing because I couldn’t afford proper clothing. It was actually because I liked freezing in the cold.

    more t-phobia

    I guess my chest has finally grown large enough for my parents to notice, which has caused them to make remarks about how I should get a checkup with the doctor and how it’s unhealthy (god they are so controlling about my body shape).

    They think it’s an exercise I’m doing. Which is better than them understanding how HRT works.

    But I have gotten super self-concious about myself so thanks I guess.

    After thinking it over I have decided that I don’t want to go back on HRT for a few reasons:

    1. I tried it once for about a year and didn’t like it
    2. I’m perfectly comfortable still presenting as masculine
    3. I have a family history of breast cancer

    Sometimes I feel “less valid” because I don’t want HRT but then I just remind myself that that’s the transmedicalists and gatekeepers getting to me, so it doesn’t bother me for long.

    I prefer my coffee black, maybe with a bit of soya milk sometimes.

    “I’m such a trainwreck” she says despite probably being in the top 5% of trans women in terms of having her shit together.

    I usually make drip coffee and drink it black :) I like espressos too, which I also enjoy without anything extra, but I usually don’t gravitate to it because I drink like a fish 😬 espresso does not last long and I get overcaffeinated, lose-lose lol.

    Also I am living as a nonbinary woman now and it feels good! Keep seeing myself in the mirror at stores and getting euphoria. Shaved my legs finally and got a huge rush from seeing them “as they should be” 🥰 Relationship stuff is hard, but we are working through it 💜 They have been buying me flowers and helping me pick out new clothes and jewelry 💜💜💜
