Charleigh / “Charlie”
I am a butch lesbian (gay woman) who obsesses over the iOS ecosystem, wastes too much time watching YouTube, and drinks too much coffee and alcohol (sometimes together). I have ideas, not beliefs. Read up on the rest of my stupendous biography.

Worth a Thousand Words

I get it, all the pinks and color choices and stuff are pure marketing and shouldn’t be a determining factor in helping me #detransition and reclaim my #womanhood—but it ***IS*** helping while I wait for my body to emasculate and effeminate, waiting for #namechange to become official and legally recongnized, and for my drivers license to come back saying I’m female (despite bearing my former “male” name). #detrand #detransitioning #detransitioners #woman #womanstyle #womensfashion #butch #gendervariant #dyke #lesbian #bulldyker #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #extrans #lgb #lgbt #pride #butchpride #butchfashion #lgbtqia #lgbtq
I’m allowed to use the women’s restroom at my local @planetfitness. I’m glad their policy also covers #detransitioning. #detrans #detransition #detransitioners #detransitioner #detransitioned #extrans #extransgender #woman #womanpower #womanempowerment #lesbian #lesbianpride #womanhood #female #femaleempowerment #lesbianlife #pride #gymlife #workout #backstthegym
Replaced my old, battered, black knapsack with a lavender one to help me reconnect better with my body and myself as a #woman. Not saying women HAVE to, but anything marketed to or catered to women for right now is help me ease my dysmorphia as I wait for the name change to become legally recognized, to wait to take treatment to refeminize my body, and slowly regain all my #womanhood. #lesbian #womenempowerment #butch #butchpride #butchfashion #lesbianfashion #detrans #detransition #detransitionedwoman #detransitioning #detransitioned #detransitioners #extrans #extransgendered
While I’m waiting for my #namechange to become legal, I went ahead and paid to correct the sex marker on my drivers license anyways. Still have to wait for it for the next 2-3 weeks, but I have an updated letter commissioned by the state that shows I am a woman once again, so if using the woman’s washroom or changing is an issue, I can show that I’m #detransitioning.
I am not fond that NJ “simplified” things. People with fraudulent intentions are going to abuse this change. But I’m going to take advantage of it regardless to undo this mess I allowed them to put me through. #namechange #genderdiversity #genderdiverse #butch #butchpride #lesbian #lesbians #lesbianpride #detrans #detransition #detransitioning #detransitioners #lgb #lgbt #takethetout #takethetoutoflgbt
Got my #namechange started at work, at least for communication purposes. Internal anything has me as Charleigh now—when the #namechange is legal, so will my paychecks. That updated email is going to clue people in, when I haven’t said anything yet. 😶
