once in a while i forget i'm trans

in that my body isn't constantly reminding me of it: yeah i take E and P daily, and i gotta dilate sometimes, but that's pretty minor, in my experience, as chronic medical condition management goes

in that i have job interviews and other social random encounters where nobody questions my right to this name and shape (despite the voice that goes with it)

in that i have docs that match my name, and a surety to my identity that means: when i do brush up against a data ghost of my past self, i just smile at whoever's behind the counter and say, "old name, can you update that for me?" and that's that

in that i can look at my face in a mirror or camera feed most days and think nothing more weighty than "lookin' good today, babe"

"Still easier than you," she called to the cat.
