You know what would be cool?

@masukomi I can also tick the autistic, poly, and geeky boxes.
@naga hey Pat! Yay for autistic, poly, and geeky! Congrats on starting your transition!
Mine started … a long time ago. Happy to chat AND be a 🧠 that’s prolly already tread some of the ground you’ll be traversing now/soon.

@masukomi Actually, I'm only 47. I turn 48 in the not to0 distant future but I forgot and jumped the gun.
@ra6bit lol. Pretty sure I’ve done that before … in multiple years.

Also Hey ra6bit!
How do you pronounce your nic.? -
@bluewitchgwen I'm #NotAGirl, but yeah, I remember the 80s.
-
@careth hey Adelie, and headmates. How’d you end up surrounded by all younger folks?
@masukomi er, they're usually the ones to approach me, I think

@careth
maybe because you look so youthful / younger than your years. -
You know what would be cool? Being friends with a trans woman my own age.
I think there are only 2 trans women I'm actually close with, and one of them's >10yrs older than me and the other's > 10 years younger than me.
I'm not sure I've even *seen* any trans women my age (early 50s) here on fedi. I hope there are some.

I just feel kind-of isolated. You know?
Anyway. If there are any 50ish yr old trans women out there looking for a friend…

@masukomi It me.

@masukomi Thank you, I appreciate it!
It's my bedtime, but I put in a follow request

@jrdepriest hey J R!

@myrialux yay! And a fellow rails geek too!
@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...

@jrdepriest hey J R!

@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.

Thank you sweetie ...

@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. 🫂

Before HRT: looked 20 years past my age

After HRT: now look an entire generation younger than my birth age

@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.
