Quarterly post
Aug. 16th, 2023 09:06 pmObviously I'm rarely on here but there are some people here who I want to at least somewhat stay in contact with.
Mid-May was 10 years since vaginoplasty. As you may recall this is not an easy anniversary for me because of how it went multidimensionally sideways (intentionally on the part of others who were abusing me - e.g. afterwards I got a lot of "it's good that you finally feel genital dysphoria; you were wrong to pursue transition when you didn't and this is fitting punishment for refusing to give up.") I decided to do something for the occasion: a camping trip to Ocracoke. Fans of Our Flag Means Death would appreciate that just southwest of here is Teach's Hole, a favored anchorage of Blackbeard.
The day that was that anniversary was also US Mother's Day, the first since I cut contact with my parents.
Finally, on the same day I disposed of a sentimental token from my first marriage by depositing one piece of gold into the safe keeping of Davy Jones's Locker.
I enjoyed some beautiful sights.
The Ocracoke Lighthouse, a harbor light, turned 200 this year.
My accommodations for the occasion.
I also decided to get back on a motorcycle. I took the rider course in June then bought a bike which was finally ready for me to take home in early August: a 2011 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic
Step right up! You've got a ticket to ride!
I particularly like how this shot turned out.
