Aura (corl gorl)

I'll keep that in the back pocket for in a decade when they're getting too jiggly then.

Wait, is unjigglification a thing that can happen!?

A full body mirror selfie of me standing in a hotel room. I’m wearing thick black thermal tights , a brown check short sleeve v-neck dress, and a black fabric corset / harness. My hair is just-washed and held back by a yoga band.

I had a work trip to Montreal this week. I packed a cup noodle snack thing without wrapping it up. Of course it burst and got flavour powder everywhere. Thankfully I overpacked and had enough clean things to cobble together a couple of outfits. This was one, and I kinda love how it turned out.

This might sound like hyperbole.

It is not.

They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up.

They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable.

It is the UK way.

A photograph of me sitting in The Basketmakers Arms in Brighton. I’m wearing a subdued floarl corduroy shirt, a fused glass amulet, and a black button up dress over the top. I’m also wearing cat-eye shaped glasses and a black yoga band.

I forgot to post for the 1 year anniversary of being on HRT (end of January)! Have a photo of me looking a bit tired in a pub last Thursday.

oh shit

Best Regards... 💀

I don’t know who saved this, but that’s a little creepy.

You've made my life hell. Your actions over the last year have effectively removed human rights from me. The point is cruelty. You can't erase us and we will win, however many of us your actions kill. I hope you're looking forward to being the villains in our children's text books.

MEETING MY PAST SELVES by Riri @alienby.comics 20 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: You're ME? 13 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: No no no no NO!!! ...What HAPPENED? THIS isn't what God had planned for your life! (Clutching a bible) 5 year old self seeing their future self as a trans woman: … I'm gonna be pretty! Final panel is Riri hugging her inner child

this art from @alienbycomics.bsky.social landed a direct hit with my religious trauma, goddamn.

I nearly made this post about my boobs but it didn't feel appropriately earnest.

Yup, same. I'm gonna need to start from scratch and take the card game seriously from the outset.

The whole thing is rounder and less gaunt. The biggest difference is in the eyes though. Much brighter in colour and less dead.

The yoga band is hiding an improved hairline, but I'll probably still opt for grafts at some point to fill in the temples.

I totally forgot to do it and accidentally came out before I remembered again. 😅

My kid wanted to see this so much we stayed in the actual Tokyo Station Hotel so we wouldn't miss it. (the hotel bit was actually a birthday present to me from my wife, but I think the kid got more out of it)

oh do not like

My whole body is getting un-chapped thanks to the power of oestrogen.

ah, the "reverse Genesis".

You rang?

An ex told me she'd fallen for me because "your crows feet give you kind eyes".

(I took it as a weird compliment that they'd thought I was a girl)

Was gonna suggest the phone too.

Came out to everyone, got myself on oestrogen, and grew a pair of tits. One of the only new year resolutions I’ve ever managed to keep!

Me in a dark green dress with pink flowers printed on it.

Me in a dark red / brown maxi dress with a slightly lighter red / brown paisley print.

Picked up a couple of dresses in sales and I demand winter ends immediately so I can wear them. I blame the poor lighting on winter too.

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.

Do I know at least one other Aura on here? I need to stand next to you one time so I can be part of an aurae.

The last Liz Truss appointee, emblematic of the success of her policy choices generally, has now left the building.

Sensitive forearms.

I admit I did not read carefully enough there.

Or something deep 🤔
