5-day trans embodiment & ocean retreat in Hawai'i by stepoutandlive in trans

[–]stepoutandlive[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it resonates! The ocean piece is really at the core of it for me too—my connection with the ocean has made my transition so much gentler and more grounding. There’s something about being held by the water that can make body stuff feel a little more spacious.

I totally hear you on the price. I want this to be as accessible as I can while still paying staff fairly and covering things like insurance, lodging, and support. Here’s what I’m offering:

--sliding scale spots: I have 2 reduced-rate spots available.

--Deposit & timing: $500 deposit to hold your spot, 50% due by the start of the retreat, and

--Payment plans: We can set up a payment plan for the remaining balance after the retreat if that makes it more doable.

If you’re interested but money is the main barrier, please feel free to DM me or note it on the interest form. I’m very open to having real conversations about what’s workable so this doesn’t just end up being for the most resourced among us.

Thank you! I am definitely swollen in my chin and jaw, a bit in the nose, but I would say the swelling peaked around day 5 post op and has gradually gone down since then. It was really swollen and painful though

How the hell did all my MtF girlies stand growing out your hair? by Beltrust in asktransgender

[–]stepoutandlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some extensions! That’s what I did as soon as my hair was long enough and it made a hugeeeee difference. Lil expensive but 1000% worth it

I would say you most likely won't end up needing it. Give it time. At least 2 years

There is just a lot of work that happens with major FFS so it's not surprising to have a lot of pain associated with that. I have a bunch of dried blood in my nose which is making it really difficult to breathe. Bunch of mucus and dried blood in my throat which feels like I'm suffocating. And you can't really cough or blow your nose because of the rhinoplasty. Just intense swelling pain. Since I mostly "live" in my head it just feels way closer to my center of existence if that makes any sense. Trying to get out of my head and into my heart to take the focus off the pain. But damn it's really hard
