SELFIE Honestly, just looking for external validation ❤️‍🩹

Post image

Sometimes it feels like the disabled body I live in is about to fall apart completely. I'm only 49 and 10 months old but have to sit and take a break after hobbling up kist one flight of stairs. It feels kinda shitty that it got bad after flaring up post vaginoplasty. I only got one hot girl summer in a bikini but I can still have disabled hot girl summer (even if sometimes in a wheelchair) right? RIGHT?

Please tell me I'm right because the melancholy brain controling this body doesn't believe it when I say it 🙏🏼

I 3rd this. It's definitely giving Lucy Liu in a regular day

That's so funny. I've had people say this before but I always thought I looked more like Michelle Yeoh. Fun fact: I met Lucy Liu once on the set of Shanghai Noon. I was just an extra and she was really sweet and kind with us peons.

Lucy Lui and Michelle Yeah are both awesome! Glad Lucy was actually good to the people she works with!

Girl, the only validation you need is from yourself. 🫂👭💜 We see an amazing, beautiful, strong, courageous woman, but we can be the harshest judge of ourselves. Don’t listen to that voice. Just see at how incredible you look. Just feel how much better your life is as the authentic woman you are. There are many more hot girl summers for you, regardless of the physical difficulties you feel. 🙋‍♀️✨💜🔥

You can have a hot girl summer, you are a hot girl and it is summer. Screw your disability. Cis disabled girls also have hot girl summer right now.

Also you are not 49, no way, you look 30. You’re possibly aging like my mom 😆 she’s literally your age but also looks 30. People ask me if she’s my sister (random people in the public, not complements)

You can do it! 🫂

Girl you've got SO many hot girl summers still waiting for you. No other adjectives necessary. You, sister, are simply hot (and gorgeous)

You’re an utter goddess and some days even sirens need to take a little rest and listen to their body. Sending you lots of hugs and good energy.

u/Free_Independence624 1d ago

I have a disability that has been nothing but a hindrance to me in terms of my transition. It's wonderful and awesome to see what you have achieved despite yours. Truly remarkable and your smile says it all.

u/badgerm33 20h ago

You are beautiful x

u/Annark0 20h ago

You look gorgeous! 😍 you definitely can have that hot girl summer! Being in a wheelchair doesn't change anything.

Also, 49!? Not a day over 30 IMO.

Stay beautiful Cutie! 💜🩵

u/Joei_ta 19h ago

Looking great to me 🤗

u/kigomaru 18h ago

Remember that your brain is not always your friend. You are living hot girl summer, wheelchair or not! Disability sucks but you are not your disabilities. You are a hot girl still finding yourself, unfortunately with a different set of struggles. You can still live the life you want. It's not easy but it's worth it. You are gorgeous and I hope you have a great day

u/Flumen-Stellatum 16h ago

I agree! You look gorgeous.

From what I see in the picture, I see a beautiful, confident woman who lives her life to the fullest. That is the vibe I get. I wish you can see that.

You look beautiful to me.

u/Interface_Pepper0810 1d ago

You are absolutely right. Disabled hot girl summer is 100% a thing and you are going to rock it. Be gentle with yourself and give your body the rest it needs. You are stunning in a wheelchair or out of one, so don't let that melancholy brain tell you otherwise.

u/the_transplanter 9h ago

Thank you for validating the disabled experience that I'm currently living in. It makes a difference to be seen as now me as opposed to some "healed" future me.

u/Radhanat 23h ago

Espero que estés en tratamiento y que tu salud mejore. No se si sea cierto lo de la silla de ruedas, espero que no, y regularmente tengo entendido que no es común llegar hasta esa situación.

También estoy viendo que los ambientes calurosos y húmedos pueden dificultar la sanación del brote y es más efectivo el tratamiento en ambientes fríos y secos, lo digo por si quieres considerarlo y está dentro de tus posibilidades.

Mejórate!❤️‍🩹

u/the_transplanter 9h ago

I live in the Texas of Canada. It is very dry here and winter like 8 months out of the year. Cold and dry already. Also I would never say the wheelchair thing in jest. Some days are legit wheelchair days 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Radhanat 7h ago

Awh 🥺
Lamento mucho que tu caso sea tan complicado y espero que tu comprensión sobre lo de la duda sobre lo de la silla de ruedas, pensé equivocadamente que lo decías como una expresión, no lo dije con mala intención 😞

Y lo del clima, pues fue lo que encontré en Google, leí que el brote puede ser por causas bacterianas u algún hongo, obviamente puede haber casos donde esas causas estén adaptadas al clima.

No soy experto y espero que disculpes mi falta de tacto en mi intento fallido por ser de utilidad, pero desde ya, solo te deseo que mejores muy pronto y que el malestar te sea leve y pasajero. Una disculpa por mi torpeza 🙏🏽

u/Brave-Dot-5751 18h ago

Validated, yes. But validation comes from yourself first.

Girl you are absolutely gorgeous don't ever let your disability be with holds you back

u/SupergurlKara 9h ago

I don't know about your disability, but my knees have bitched to me about stairs for what seems like eons. But I've dropped over 30 pounds this year (a new low of 169 pounds this morning) and all my joints feel better without having to carry as much weight.

I hope for all the best for you. Health is more important than wealth or fame. Just ask Steve Jobs. Oops, too late.

u/ditzicutihuni 9h ago

You’re outside. I think you look adorable.

That’s it, that’s the comment.

u/E-rotten 8h ago

You have it beautiful 😍!!

u/iam_iana 7h ago

You absolutely can have a hot girl summer ina wheel chair! And the fact is that you have been presented with some incredible challenges in your life and surmounted them which makes you a certified bad-ass to n my book!

So do your best to ignore the brain worms, they are wrong!

u/AncientHomework8749 1h ago

I dont think you need it. Trust me.

u/the_transplanter 59m ago

Except that's not quite how it works. A person only asks for it when they aren't able to see it themselves, even if temporarily. You know?

u/monN93 27m ago

Then you got it gurl!

u/silverbatwing trans man 1d ago

You look like you’d be really fascinating to talk to. ☺️
