🍯 Akhra (or Melli to disambiguate), ratel.
🐲 Rhiannon, drangolin.
🦡 Lenestre, American badger.
unless tagged or otherwise obvious, assume 🍯🐲🦡 in chorus; even when that's not quite accurate, we will always be in consensus. address collectively as Akhra (she/her), or as wenchcoat (she/her or plural).

Id cry if I wasn't so morning sleepy, there's so much that resonates <3
Calling me and my FFS approach out lol, definitely there's that fear, no matter how much I'm reassured about it, that I'll waste it and not get another chance. And ofc that fear that it'll all soon be gone here in the UK (cried in public about it before, at the alienation of how normal it looks like everyone else feels), hence my move to DIY to keep myself safe.
I don't think I've ever lived until now
Yeah typing that back out does make me cry actually hehehe <3
words are failing me, but just dropping a like feels insufficient. thank you for sharing this, every word of it. 💜
Thank you for sharing something so personal and heartfelt with us, hope you're having a lovely day
As a latina trans woman, this has given me a lot of food for thought. A lot of our experiences regarding plastic surgeries, passability politics, and cultural pressures (especially if you're attempting to immigrate to somewhere) seem to parallel one another pretty well. I imagine that, obviously, the specifics are incredibly different. But, the incredible pressure to perform, the cosmetic surgeries made to make you look whiter and that feeling of disconnect with the "western" (read: white) trans community is all there.
I've personally been pondering whether or not I wanna get FFS but I've been putting it off due to how white beauty standards seems to dictate the procedure. It makes me feel so torn in the end.
