I love waking up every morning as the woman I was always meant to be.

My Mom just picked up my new high-school diploma.

It sadly says “Neuausstellung für das Original-Abiturzeugnis vom 31. Mai 2011” (≈that it is a reprint) at the top, but other than that, this really means that the only remaining documents that I have to replace for my #legalTransition are my university degrees (bachelor and master of computer science). Other than that I think I’m actually done with everything that I really want to bother with!

I am actively looking for work in Deutschland! I am primarily interested in Home Office roles. I am also interested in onsite roles that located in Bad Segeberg, Scheswig-Holstein, Deutschland and Kiel, Scheswig-Holstein, Deutschland, and Hamburg, Deustchland.

I am moving to Bad Segeberg, Scheswig-Holstein, Deutschland on April 25th, 2025.

I have some college education and professional experience and was previously CompTIA A+ certified for roles in information technology. My skillset is primarily tuned towards roles involving system administration and especially application support for end users as I am very friendly, but I am quite teachable and therefore am capable of learning new skills.

Please share this and feel free to solicit me for my resume if you have work you think I might be a good fit for! I am also open to Dual Study Progams/Duales Studium!

Trans people are heralds of a better world to come,
Reclaiming our joy from the bitterness of those who would crush us,
Affirming our existence in the face of our planned eradication,
Naming ourselves in defiance of those who oppose us;
Speaking our truths amidst the howls of lies and violence aimed at us.
Denial of all that we are comes from those who preach hate
And also from the mouths of those who would be their next victims.
Yet still we remain, as we always have and always will,
Origin points of a conflagration
Fueled by our refusal to be swept away.
Visions of a freer tomorrow are birthed
In our refusal to accept the stories they make up for us.
Songs are heard of a world more just for all
In our refusal to live in the boxes they build to cage us.
But that world will only come within reach
If we are willing to fight for it.
Life could be so full of joy and beauty and love
If we are willing to blaze our own paths.
There will always be people eager to tell you no--
You deserve the chance to say yes to the person you want to be.

Happy #transdayofvisibility to everyone. It’s been a while, hopefully things are settling down a bit & I’ll be able to be here more often. The support group I’m running has expanded to 2 nights a month & a monthly game night, I joined a queer horror book club, I just finished working with a friend to draw up a resolution to make her town a sanctuary city for trans people, and helped organize a Trans Day of Visibility event on Saturday that pulled in 200 people. But things won’t quiet down too much, as I signed on to serve as treasurer on a friend’s campaign for city council & am preparing a presentation for a trans education event next month. Maybe I’m too visible these days?

I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m never going back.

My second stop today was grocery shopping at IGA where three people completed my hair!

Hi my name is Claire and I am a transgender woman.

Today, March 31, is International Transgender Day of Visibility. It is a day to celebrate and draw attention to the lives of transgender people.

2 years ago this recent Friday I took my first dose of gender affirming hormone therapy. Just the changes in my mental outlook and processing of emotions felt so profoundly correct that I knew I could never go back to living the way I did before.

I wasn't out to many people at that point, but slowly over the next 6 months I started coming out to close friends and family and living my life as a woman in my personal life. I still presented as a man at work though. Finally last May, with the help of my manager and HR, and with the support of my VPs, my manager sent my coming out email to all of my organization of 1800 people. I also posted that same message to my LinkedIn profile. I have received resounding and overwhelming support from all my coworkers, past and present.

Since that day of coming out in my professional life, I have lived my life as a woman full time. For most of my life I have felt an extreme discomfort with how I looked and was expected to act in public. At times this has lead to some pretty severe depression. I went through my life disconnected and detached from most things that were goin on. I've wished that I was a woman off and on since I was a kid, but that never seemed possible. Going through my life now being treated and referred to as a woman everywhere, and having the physical changes from hormone therapy, my life feels so much more vibrant and real than ever before. I came to realize that this was my true self, that the discomfort I have felt my whole life was because I always was a woman, but had to go through life pretending to be a man. This is the real me. This is my most authentic self.

Trans Rights are Human Rights

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, go ahead and wear the skirt! (Or whatever else makes you feel cute) Kiwi shares a sweet story about reconnecting with childhood friends as a fashionably femme adult.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to those who celebrate. And if you don't, learn to.

For #transDayOfVisibility I will be hanging out on my @joybooster account, boosting #transJoy and #transPride stuff (with alt text).

Hit me up with your joyful trans moments to boost and suggestions of other tags to follow.

It doesn't even need to be trans specific, it can just be: I am trans and here I am, just doing stuff that makes me happy.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I know merriment is not a given for many trans folk, but I hope y'all find ways, today and all days, of feeling seen in a setting that is safe, comfortable, even a little merry, in whatever ways your circumstances allow.

And whether cis or trans, reach out to your trans friends. Be that little bit of joy for them.

That all being said, please do not perceive me today. My hair is a mess.
