🏳️⚧️Claire 🏳️⚧️<p>Whelp, I was too lazy(add) to get around to finding a new instance before my old instance was shut down (Yeah THAT one). The signs were coming for a long time, I just had other priorities. Now I am trying to recreate my account and connections from there.</p><p>So new instance, time for an <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> post. (I never actually did an introduction post on my old account).</p><p>My name is Claire, and I am a <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> woman. Although I have sort of known I was a woman since early puberty, I didn't accept it and decide to transition until my mid 50s. I have been fully out as a <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/TransWoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransWoman</span></a> and living my life as a woman since May, 2024. My transition is still ongoing and is a big part of my life. My posts here are going to talk a lot about transition. I talk a lot about my transition in person too. I am still only attracted to women, so that makes me a <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lesbian</span></a>. </p><p>Besides being a hot mess of a <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> girl, here's some things about my life:</p><p>* I work in tech.
