Also, if I tried to reply to everyone individually, I would, like, double the size of this thread, so let me just say that everyone here is a damn fine lot of beautiful, gorgeous, handsome, (insert your preferred term for beauty) ladies, gents, and non-binary pals.

I know that even on a supportive place like Susan's, it can be scary to share photos of yourself when dealing with dysphoria, doubt, and so many microaggressions (or outright aggressions) even from people who love you... so, I just want to acknowledge that and say how much I love you all and how proud I am of my fellow trans* folk. You are awesome. I know, too well, how easy it is to doubt that. So, even if you don't believe you're awesome and wonderful and all that -- I do. And I'm gonna keep on believing that.
<3 to all and *cookies of choice* (virtual! no worries about calories, gluten, allergies, or any of that!)
