You know what would be cool?

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@careth maybe because you look so youthful / younger than your years.

[jrdepriest@infosec.exchange]

@masukomi It me.

[naga@toot.cat]

@masukomi Thank you, I appreciate it!

It's my bedtime, but I put in a follow request

[masukomi@connectified.com]

@jrdepriest hey J R!

[myrialux@chaosfem.tw]

@masukomi yup! I know it doesn’t get the love anymore like Go or Rust now, but it does the job and pays the bills!

I am in my late 50's, but may look and act a bit younger due to HRT...

@masukomi I'm 51, transitioned at 35, married to the same cisgender woman for 29 years, dress like a soft butch, work in information security, play PC games, have been writing as a hobby since 1981, am extremely AuDHD, lifelong depression sufferer, cPTSD from an abusive step-dad, and I take care of my disabled wife and cats as best I can. Also, lapsed pagan trying to regain my faith in a way that avoids its frequent gender essentialism. Trying to learn to ask better questions instead of focusing on answers.

I can tell you there are no other trans horologists on fediverse or in the world

@dianea yay hi! And yeah we all look and act younger. Comes with being happy with who we are. although the HRT certainly helps with the skin.

Hey

@masukomi I’m 55! I know, never ask a woman her age, but i also wish i knew some people elder than me in both age and trans lived experience. Loneliness is the greatest threat to our mental health. 🫂

@masukomi

Before HRT: looked 20 years past my age ️
After HRT: now look an entire generation younger than my birth age

[adric@atlbbs.com]

@masukomi Miau ️‍⚧️! I keep waiting to use great lines like "when half a century old you are, sore you will be" as well as the new classic "last millennium..."

[mxchara@seattle.pink]

@masukomi I'm a trans... something, or we are rather because I speak for a plural system, and we're 51 on paper. My elder sibling is in my headspace though and they are 53.

Hi there .... Hugz

@masukomi
Yeahhhhh, I kinda get told that quite a bit. Well, I've never been told 40 but younger than my current years. Kinda embarrasses me a little but thank you... really. I do appreciate the kind words.

A lot of it I'm sure is my hair. I've never made it a secret that I wear wigs. I just don't really announce it as much anymore. I think putting them on gives me a teeny little facelift of sorts. But yeah, a lot of my hair jumped ship when I was powered by testosterone so I have to wear wigs. I've been trying to figure out a way to put some gray in them so I look more my age but haven't quite figured that out yet.

But the other reason I look younger than my age... Clean livin', ma'am. Cleeeeeen livin'. Plus makeup skills, good lighting, my momma's genes and late-in-life estrogen. ️

Thanks for the compliment on the voice acting thing. I've been wanting to try another but haven't found one of those challenges I like and haven't really had the quiet in the house to do it again anyway.

I do have another example though.
Wanna hear the Trans Girl Parlor Trick? 🤭
I've done a little voice acting in a couple of my songs. The old cowboys at the beginning of this one is me.
