Maya

Woman, mom, et cetera!
Transitioning at a quasistatic pace.
Scientist; Classical music lover.
Trying to be a better me.

Not how I imagined this day, but,
the day has come!
My name is Maya, a trans woman with rough hands and a soft heart, on HRT since November 24th, 2021.

This is where I will be from this point on:

I haven't been checking this account regularly since elmo took over and ruined twitter. Thanks to everyone who was kind to me here. I hope to see you in other spaces! 💙🏳️‍⚧️

Depression: when you listen to great music so your tears can flow.

Waiting time for bottom surgery in Ontario-Quebec is two years. I'm almost 44. What would a 46 year woman do with a brand-new vagina? I look forward to nothing.

Happy Friday everyone. Hope your week was fulfilling, cause that's always more important than a relaxing weekend.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

Protecting your hearing is very important. However, some music is worth indulging.

Seen in the picture, are a number of children whose house is exploded by the "only democracy in the middle east".
This is a daily scene in Gaza, and these are the "lucky" ones who have survived the heavy weaponry (so far) to struggle with famine, disease and continued attacks.

Dear internet,
Coconuts have a thick fibery crust around them and people in tropical areas are skillful in cutting through that, as they've done it for ages.
Stop being AMAZED by it.

@johanna_r_w I'm sorry for your loss, and I feel some of your pain through your words. I wish you strength, so you can start living again. 💜

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

I may be wrong, but I don't like the term "queer culture". To me it implies that I'm not queer if I don't adopt certain stereotypes.
There's nothing exotic among my features. I just try to continue the same life I had before transition, just better.

As you check the weather today, you can also check how many Palestinian children Israel murdered in the past 24 hours.

@MargotA75117530 @EddieBacon9 Done!

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

This week, with help from my brother, I came out to my mom.
Mom reacted as I expected: worried, confused and shocked.
She told me I'm her child and she loves me regardless, and spent the week educating herself on trans identities. 💜
My social transition is now complete! ☺️

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@mjbrocklebank Thank you. You're right, I should ignore them. I started responding to them, and quickly realized there's way too much pest. Now I respond by blocking.
Yet, I gotta mention how great it feels not to be triggered by them anymore. I look at them from above, where we belong.

@isoookrichards I was born a girl, and you're still an asshole.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@Bass2Mouth69 Poor you.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@libsarentsmart9 I don't think you've met a real woman.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@MisterJonathanM I hear you. Education clearly isn't your thing.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@palaver101 Your poor everyone.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@AntiFederal1775 Wish you could transition to a decent human.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@UrStepNeighbor She's a lady, actually.

[Maya @maya_is_trying]

@Opiumbrella I am in woman spaces, where I belong. You consider staying out of human spaces, as you're not good at it.
