It's finally here! Let's hang out, chat, and be merry all through this weekend. :) You're welcome to use this as an introduction & friending post!

Something I personally think about a lot is the "I always knew I was trans" vs "I had a sudden realization at some point later in life" experiences of gender journeying. Some of us already covered that in the last round, but it's simply a suggested topic to share & chat about. ♥

That’s so lovely that you have that space that you can openly be yourself in!! I hope you have a great time at the show :)

Closer to how I feel than "you have that space that you can openly be yourself in" is "a space I enjoy being in is a place where I can openly be myself." As in, I'm not in a queer fiber arts community, but that I observed that the fiber arts community as a whole appeared to be queer-friendly, and took that as an invitation to have it be a space where I could be myself. That is indeed lovely. Things continue to go very well.

As far as having a great time at the show, I am hoping that my greater comfort and self-assurance at being Out In Public will improve my interactions with other attendees beyond how it was last year, when I was much more tentative; and I am racing the show with a pair of socks I'm hoping to finish in time to wear them there.
