She rides on the highest place as a testemony of change and streanth.


The place where she is kept in night watch


These two guard the hearing ranking just under her command


This one stays close to the heart to remind what is a head


This one know what it is like to labor with the hand

Just me

I have a "Trans Equality Now!" button on my messenger bag's strap that rests right between my boobs when I'm wearing it slung across my chest.

You can kinda see it in my avatar, I have a rainbow bracelet from the Rainbow Coalition.

I have a tattoo planned that is going to be placed right where my very first patch was.

I refuse to wear anything with a butterfly on it because I have a phobia about them. They absolutely terrify me. I wear a set of earrings that were hand made for me by a native American. They have small dreamcatchers on them with some green stones and feathers from a pheasant.  That way I can keep my hopes and dreams for my life aloft on the winds while I keep myself grounded.

a ring designed to form a mushroom.

it symbolizes my regrowth. 

mushrooms feed upon dead things and create beatuy from them



I put the male part of myself to death a few months back.  And from his corpse will grow a beautiful woman

@Keaira I hope that I did not scare you with my butterflies.
I have two phobias. that stupid eye thing on a peacock feather weirds me out when I look at it and ceiling tile with deep small hole in it feels like ants or something is about to crawl out of them. eeeooowww crap chills just thinking about.

butterflies are fantastic, fascinating creatures.  They are beautiful.

Unfortunately it has  been used too much in symbolysm, causing it to become cliche.

I had a really cool ring with a butterfly on it, but I couldn't justify wearing it........


it just felt wayyyyy too mainstream

I have a pair of silver star fish earrings.. The starfish is one of those lucky animals that can change it's gender..

Don't worry. The pictures didn't affect me. It's the actual insect that scares me. My last place I lived in had a tree that was usually full of butterflies in the summer right by the front door. So you can imagine, that was a door I could not go though. I had to put blinds up to hide that tree because the window that it was also next to was a huge picture window. I just couldn't take going into a butterfly house or anywhere with lots of them about.

@OrderOfOriah so do you have things you wear now?
of course.  read my previous post.  It's a ring made of silver and adornded with a mushroom.

And fungus is symbolic of rebirth.

I dont wearing anything to symbolize my transition...

but I am planning to get a tatoo, that will symbolize my transition. A nice Feminine design to help show my Femininity..


When I started hormones, as a signal I did get my ears pierced..   
Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

I have rainbow butterfly buttons pinned onto some jackets of mine. Butterflies, and moths really, are like trans-totems for me.

I wear arrogance and bitchiness.

When people tell me I 'don't have to be a bitch' I tell them 'no', I don't, but it's just a little something I do for me.

So, for you, here's Rod (the Mod) Stewart and the last performance of The Faces in 1974 doing You Wear It Well.

Rabbit

I actually was thinking of adding things like this to myself :D

At first I was torn between deer (my favorite animal, so beautiful!), rabbit (fits my personality), or butterfly (for the transition thing).

But, as I was looking around, I couldn't really find anything "perfect" that could act as a really special object. So, I decided to maybe try and make something? Since I am an artist, I was thinking of modeling a necklace in 3d and having it printed out...then cast in silver or something.

I dunno, but definitely I want to start exploring the accessories and expressing things about myself in them :D

I wear an Ouroboros ring on my right pinky which I bought a few weeks after starting HRT.  Then again, it symbolizes much more than my transition.

I wore a buterfly ring for the first year of transition.

Whenever I felt like an ugly man I would look at the buterfly and remember that at one point she was an ugly old catapiller.

hahahah. Win. I'm pretty much right with you, there.

It goes well with the baby weight I gained after my pregnancy.

Considering I have waited so long, I wear a great smile and have a good attitude knowing that things are moving along  :-*
