I AM MORGAN EDWIN ODYSSEUS WAGNER AND I EXIST!
Today was a good day. I did a lot of little things that amounted to a "mini transition." I picked out new glasses (can't wait to get them back!). I got my first real guy haircut at a men's salon, complete with a hot towel treatment, shampoo, scalp massage, and shoulder massage. Wow, girls don't know what they're missing!
Jaymie bought me boxer briefs from Duluth Trading Company, which we had ordered before, but she also picked up a few other things for me: some great-smelling soap and deodorant, and some razor blades for my safety razor. (I have PCOS, so I get a sparse, wiry mustache and a neck beard without the assistance of testosterone. I like to go clean-shaven.) In the mail, I got my pronoun button, the one that says "My pronouns are HE/HIM/HIS" on the background of the trans flag colors.
Jaymie took a picture of me in my flannel, with my hammer and my button in view, and I felt some dysphoria - but not about gender. I can't believe I've gotten this fat! It's painful for me to move (I'll get to that in later entries) and I am on multiple medications that cause me to gain or retain weight. Other than that, I think I'm a pretty handsome dude.
Days like this come with their own kind of fatigue. I am tired. Talk about an emotional roller coaster, and neither of us is even on hormones yet! But all in all, it was a good day, and I will be thankful for it.
