After seeing some concerning posts after the supreme court discission regarding terminology I felt driven to talk about gatekeeping in our community and the harm it does to vulnerable people. #Trans #Transrights #LGBTQIA #Transcommunity #TransExperience #gatekeeping #Transjourney #Pride

As a teacher, I get a yearly school photo and have found they are a good marker of my journey.

Deciding to date was a dauting and terrifying decision but a necessary step in rebuilding my life and moving on. Filled with nerves and being overly cautious, I found myself exploring the online #LGBTQIA dating scene. Thankfully, it has worked out for the best. #Trans #Transjourney #dating #LGBT

The ability to express myself and explore different parts of my identity without caring so much about what people think has been a huge part of my journey and continual work in progress. Currently, I love the chance to show a bit of attitude on the weekends, especially if it means testing out something new. #trans #transjoy #transisbeautiful #transjourney #transexperince #mtf
My latest YouTube video looks at the challenge and important step of finding our new name. A bit of advice as well as an opportunity to tell a bit more of my story. Hopefully, it is helpful for anyone struggling with this at the moment. #trans #transition #names #transjourney #transexperience
It's been 3 years since I came out as trans, and it continues to be a challenging journey. The last 12 months especially I have seen some new lows but hopefully it has put me on a more positive trajectory for the future. #Trans #transjourney #Translife #Seperation #transexperience #movingon

So far 2025 has been filled with firsts where I am constantly adapting to life. It has broaght pletny of challenges and some amazing positives but I find I need to remind myself that some things take time. #Trans #Translife #parenting #Life #Transjourney #Changes #LGBTQIA #thingstaketime
My journey so far has been one of the compromises to save my relationship and fit expectations. In 2025, I am done with that nonsense and plan to priotise myself. I've got a lot planned and it should be a lot of fun. #Trans #NewYear #2025 #Transjourney

After the year I have had, it seemed at times hard to think about getting to Christmas, but here we are. It's great to be able to have a laugh and celebrate with family today. Hopefully, anyone else struggling at the moment can also find a little joy. #trans #transjourney #transjoy #transisbeautiful #christmas #christmas2024
It has been two years of sleeping on a temporary / 'fold out' bed before 6 months living with my parents and working through a separation. It's been a rough journey, but I feel like I am starting to move on and build something new. Moving into my own place with a proper bed this week has been a massive step forward. #trans #movingon #relationships #separation #transjourney #transexperiences #lgbtqia
I'm breaking in another new skirt tonight for my new annual transversery celebration with a couple of friends. #trans #Transgender #transjoy #transisbeautiful #transjourney
Celebrating 1 year on HRT 🎉. A little over 2 years ago, this was the first dress I wore out in public, all self-conscious and full of nervous energy. Now, I'm definitely rocking a lot more confidence and feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. #transjoy #trans #transjourney #transisbeautiful #Transgender #mtf #hrt
After discussing dysphoria, it was only right that my next video, this #TransAwarenessWeek, was focusing on something positive, like exploring the Gender Euphoria and the impact these positive moments can have. #trans #transjourney #gendereuphoria #lgbtqia
Today, it is massive step in my own personal journey and really symbolizes how far I have come this year to feel valid and confident within my identity. #trans #transjoy #transjourney #Transisbeautiful

It's #transawareness week, so I am sharing more of my experiences and discussing some big topics over on YouTube. First, let's talk #genderdysphoria, everything from triggers, and how things change to strategies I use to get through the bad times. #trans #transisbeautyful #Transjourney #transexperiences
I have been thinking of volunteering or working more closely with the community for a while, but I never really thought I had the time and knew it wouldn't go down well with certain people in my life. However, as I am trying to move on, I aim to prioritize my values and the things I care about more.
So, I have been on the lookout for new opportunities to get involved and be more active within our community, so I am signing up as a TGV volunteer. Partly since in the early days, I relied a lot on information and support from groups like Transgender Victoria, so I think it is time to give back. #trans #transjourney #lgbtqia #community #LGBTQ
It's hard to move on & let go right now. After 14 years there are lot of things to work out. Instead I'm struggling to let go of negative emotions & waiting on things which keeps pulling me back. #Trans #Transjourney #Relationships #Breakups #LGBTQIA
Today marks one year on HRT, and what a wild ride it’s been! 🏳️‍⚧️
From walking into my PCP’s office expecting to be placed on a long waiting list, to navigating moments of frustration and uncertainty, it’s incredible to think about how far I’ve come. I started this journey thinking it would take months just to get started, but fate had other plans. A last-minute consultation, my therapist’s support, and a gender dysphoria diagnosis all aligned, allowing me to take my first steps toward becoming my true self.
Starting HRT wasn’t without its challenges. Every dosage change brought migraines, and my emotions were all over the place, but it also opened up a part of myself I’d kept hidden. Crying over the smallest things has become more common, but it’s a reminder that I’m feeling everything more deeply, more honestly. My therapist has been my guide, but at the end of the day, I’ve had to walk this path myself—breaking free from gender norms and expectations one step at a time.
Sharing my journey with friends and family has been mostly welcomed, though not without its bumps. Still, those who truly matter have shown me such love and support, and that’s what I hold onto. 🥰
Dysphoria is tough—it’s brutal, really. But HRT has helped me manage it. I’ve had to mourn the female childhood I never got to live, but I’m learning to embrace my inner girl and listen to her needs. This is just the beginning. My body and mind are evolving, and there’s still so much ahead.
Here’s to many more years of becoming who I’ve always been inside, and finally seeing the real me in the mirror. The core of me hasn’t changed—just freed from layers that never belonged. ✨

I have literally just discovered the utter comfort of wearing sweatpants. Where have these been all my life. The added bonus is that I still think I look pretty cutie. #trans #casual #comfort #transjoy ##transisbeautiful #Transjourney
Due to circumstances, I am currently compressing a lot of things into one little room and making it feel like my space. It might be a little crowded, but it definitely says a lot about me. #translife #transjourney #identity #life #lego #deskspace
