So, let's keep it simple to start.

How have you been? Where are you in your journey?

I've been on an emotional rollercoaster of sorts for a while but we won't get into that.

I've just hit 6mo on HRT and last week I learned...

drumroll please

I finally love myself! Something that has taken me 30 years to learn to do. And that final piece of the puzzle was to embrace myself as Olivia ❤️

So, how have you been? What's on your mind?

Ive... been. (US) I became less terrified of potential results of next election, and borderline excited after the Tim Walz news!

In less fun, the "temporary team" I joined at work to help out with a project for a few months just became my entire job (position was taken from my boss by bosses bosses boss and moved to form a new... department?) I was initially given a verbal "out" to go back to what i was doing, and it feels like a bait and switch, plus the job is functionally to automate myself out of a job within like, a year.

Its a federal job, so its not like they'll fire me but still kinda bullshit. So I'm strongly considering looking for a different job now. I found this out yesterday after lunch. I am not happy.

All that said, I have been wanting to leave this state, so it might be time to see what my options are elsewhere (and have a bit of space away from family, and really explore transitioning in a safe state/environment).
