It’s odd how it goes. The past few days have the burnt sections looking like they’re bruised, shaving gets weird and it resembles acne/eczema. I have been at my conference, with morning skin regime now being: cleanser, moisturizer, day cream, sunblock, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, fixation, and it looks good as a result. Really curious (hopeful?) though on seeing how it gets once this iteration has concluded.
I wonder how obvious I was at the conference? Yes, there is makeup (subtle though) and body language. And I told some people I am trans, and alluded to more when we discussed relevant topics (”that would be a very interesting study to conduct in a population of people undergoing hormonal sex transition, don’t you think?”). But on the other hand, most people don’t actually have a conception of this as something which could happen.
People using male pronouns grate more and more though it does not quite hurt. Two people seemed vaguely interested in me though I can never tell, really. Spent time in saunas feeling bodily happy by being in an environment of accepted nudity and noting the smoothness of my skin given hair removal, noting the need to learn more persistent such techniques also for non-face areas.
Anyways. The world continues. And I too.
