Girl, In Progress

A photoshop I made based on the movie poster. Also, re: the disparity in skin tone above — different lighting and different times of year.

Like many trans people early in their transition, I have been struggling with my identity. Or more specifically, the validity of it.

When I first started to transition I felt very similarly to other trans women I’d talked to — that if I did not achieve 100% “conventional femininity” at all times, then I was not valid and would have all my pretty things taken away permanently.
