No, this is the best picture of me ever.

My mom likes this picture, and I'm wearing the skirt she hates.

That is a great pic! So glad you had such a good time!

How could she hate that skirt? It's rocking!

Well, you have to remember that my mom is in her seventies. She's never lived among the bright lights of a big city, either.

[m-cobweb.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly!

[arjache.livejournal.com]

That is an epic skirt.

Cool pic, but the banner makes me think you're directing people to the bathrooms.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Heh. You're not the only one to notice the similarity between our icons and bathroom signs. As for the one I'm carrying, I actually nagged our t-shirt designer into putting it on the shirts. I didn't know it was going to be on a banner until Sunday morning. Of course I had to have that banner, so I traded another one for it.

I've written here before about the frustrating lack of a good glyph for transness. My proposal is the simplified butterfly that I use.

And come to think of it, maybe the appearance of bathroom directions was our designer's idea of an in joke.

[mamishka.livejournal.com]

I think a butterfly glyph to represent trans folks is pretty genius, actually.

You look totally awesome and kickass! :D

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thanks!

You can bet your last nickel that I'll be uploading this to various dating sites at the earliest opportunity.

I asked for and obtained permission from the photog, whose name I still don't know.

you know what my favorite thing is?

My all time favorite thing?


Every new picture of you becomes "the best picture ever taken" of you.
And I think that's just awesome.

Every day you become just a little more you. And every day that shows a little more on the outside.

So every new picture captures the real you just a little bit better.

This. Right here.

Great photo. You look happy. :)

I doubt she's even _seeing_ the skirt. You look great - proud, confident, and bold.

But when I printed it out I cut you off at the knees.

But that skirt is awesome!! Why the hate? :(

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Remember that she can remember World War II.
