end of 26 to the start of 27 has been so sweet, love the community that last year brought me :’)
new substack essay “a timeline is a blanket of the fool” is out! been writing it since august. (had to repost i like this sequencing better lmao)
one year of @tboywrestling , two VERY different performances, and am proud to say i’m now a 3-time winner (🥇for best performance duo in LA 2024,🥈 for best performance duo in NYC night 1,🥇 for best in hoe LA T4T night 1).
the biggest win is the weeks of practice leading up to this and seeing what i and other trans people are capable of. forever amazed by the warmth and vibrancy of the community we’ve brought together!! viva transexualismo!! see y’all in chicago next march 🤩

it’s been one week since @tboywrestling day one and i’m so grateful i got to spend my first time in NYC wrestling in tiny undies for the gayest of new yorkers :’) so cool to be among friends on a trip like this. and ofc, had to bring out the xyosted (testosterone auto injector).
i’m still processing how big this has gotten, i’m just so proud to be a part of such an important queer and trans space. i have not had as much fun playing around with my masculinity as i have in the ring. i’m happy to have had the space to do so, and see how others explore as well.
@emilyoo_98 we killed it!! we made runner-up for best duo (best duo in the back of the 18th pic haha)
love to all of the wrestlers, refs, performers, judges, and the folks behind the scenes that made this happen <3

i’m still thinking about this and probably will forever and ever. my greatest achievement of the year and it was with my friends and community present 💕🤠 🌈 trans people are incredible, liberated, and joyful, and we can make a home out of anywhere.
thanks to everyone who came and/or wished me well! i’m immensely proud of the work i put into my body for the past year and for handling the stress of the week leading up to it. i can’t overstate how much my fitness journey has been intertwined with my transition, and i’m excited to see where my body will take me. El Vaquero will be back!! 😤
so grateful to my partner @recycleonly for his creativity and friendship, the wrestlers, the guys at @transdudesofla , @noahxxphotos@guccigails and @ecstasy.asf for the HQ photos, and bokchoy_baobei for the LA Times article (link in bio!).
last slide is of me the day after with a cut lip! king of the world and i had to slice up cheese the next day haha.
