I played football in high school too! During training camp my junior year I quit to write for the school paper 🤪

Mona likes sports, sporty sport sports.

OTD in 2015. Had tickets to MLS Cup, kickoff at 4. No way I was just gonna miss the #Seahawks game at 1 in Minneapolis. Stuck with the Hawks game at a sports bar until they were up 28-0 early in the 3rd (they'd win 38-7) 🤩. Changed into #Crew96 gear, ran to MAPFRE, watched Columbus lose 2-1. 😞

Nah, that's not weird at all. If I wasn't from Washington state, I probably wouldn't know where Gonzaga University is. There's no obvious geographic connection to the name of the school.

Tulane football—Love the logo, color scheme, nickname, uniforms, whole aesthetic. No notes, 10/10.

Good luck! Have fun! You look fab 😊

OK, I find the "10 Percent cisgender" absolutely HILARIOUS. How? 😂

I definitely identify as trans AND non-binary AND agender, so this quiz at least seems to have captured all of that accurately.

In December 2016, Mona takes a selfie with a bunch of fallen leaves behind her. She has blue hair in a short bob. She is wearing glasses. She has a full face of make up on, including red lipstick. She is wearing a Seattle Seahawks scarf.

In December 2025, Mona takes a selfie in Tensuke Ramen. She is wearing her Action Green Jaxon Smith-Njigba Seahawks jersey. She has short dark brown hair and isn't wearing makeup.

9 years apart. Evolved away from being a binary trans woman toward being a non-binary trans fem—But I can always go MAXXFEM whenever the spirit moves me ☺️

One thing that has never changed, and never will? My undying fanatical devotion to my beloved Seattle Seahawks. 💚💙🩶

Goin' with my Action Green Jaxon Smith-Njigba jersey for #BlueFriday this week 💚💙🩶 #Seahawks #GoHawks

I dig your earrings 😍😍

This is a self-care checkpoint.

Post your favorite selfie that makes you feel good about yourself.

OK yeah, it's this one bc is reminds me I can still be a hot fem when I feel like putting in the effort. 😊

🤩🤩🤩

Two photos Mona's friend Zoe took on her new fancy iPhone 17 😊

My friend Zoe came over and this is her showing me the camera on her iPhone 17 Pro 😁

Mona in December 2016. She has blue hair in a short bob, is wearing glasses, red lipstick, and foundation. She is also wearing a blue hoodie, a Seahawks jersey, and a matching Seahawks scarf.

Me OTD in 2016. Wowwwww the Mary Kay foundation I used back then did NOT fuck around. 😂🤪🏳️‍⚧️

Mona takes a selfie on the elliptical machine at the gym, wearing a blue headband and a navy blue Seattle Seahawks t-shirt.

I have pivoted HARD from a "Wearing a hat to the gym" person to a "Wearing a headband at the gym person."

I had one most recently from a street vendor after a Sounders match in July and it fuuuuuucked.

It can vary, but my default is Costco Snack Bar: Ketchup, Mustard, Raw Onions, Relish.

More rarely, coney toppings (coney sauce, mustard, raw onions, shredded cheddar cheese) or just sauerkraut and deli mustard, or Seattle-style (cream cheese, grilled onions, etc)

Shit, maybe I should be doing what you are doing? Might help with the skin irritation.

Boooooo that sucks. I have not had the dryness issue post zero-depth, but I have had bouts of skin irritation that have been annoying as heck. Big agree that it's still a major upgrade.

Highlights of Mona's 2025 Spotify Wrapped. She clearly loves Wilco, Radiohead, ALVVAYS, R.E.M., Death Cab, Horsegirl, all that shit.

Well, there you go. I don't know what the fuck "bubblegrunge" is, but apparently I am into it? 😂

I have to go in one day a week, but whew, hoo boy, that beats going in every day.

Mona takes a selfie. She has short dark brown hair and is wearing a green hoodie over a blue and green throwback Seattle Seahawks shirt.

Remote workin' so I can bring home the dill gherkin 😂🤩🤪

Finally getting around to giving the latest record by Wednesday a full focused listen, and it's pretty fuckin' great.

Mona is wearing a navy Wilco hat, glasses, a grey and blue shirt under a light blue hoodie and a dark blue fleece vest

3 years ago today. I should get my nose re-pierced around the same time I get my hair re-blued.

I think the dumbest "I'm not trans, ___________" I ever threw at myself was when I was like 17 years old:

"I'm not trans, my favorite movie is Terminator 2!"

I think it's funny that when I wake up at 5 am Eastern (long story, but the short version is that I have absolutely hit the age where I worry about "wasting daylight" 😂), a non-trivial number of my trans fem friends back in Seattle (2 am Pacific) have not gone to bed yet. Mona is An Old.

Aww jeez thank you :)

On the left, Mona takes a selfie wearing a v-neck black T-shirt. She has short dark hair with blue highlights. She is wearing red lipstick, rose gold eyeshadow, and powder blue eyeliner. On the right, Mona isn't wearing makeup, but she is wearing a black Seahawks throwback T-shirt.

On the left, a recent photo of me femmed up. On the right is today, no makeup, casual + comfy. I don't look THAT different? And that's OK!

When I fem up, I'm not hoping I "pass as a woman." I just want to look fem, soft, cute, pretty. If I hope I get "clocked" as anything, it's as trans and queer.

Wooo! I've started to have panic attacks recently after not having them for YEARS, so one thing we're gonna try is Propranolol as needed when I feel a panic attack forming and/or if I know I'm about to go into a situation that might trigger an attack. Anyone have experience taking this med?

When I went to see The Way of Water, at a pivoital moment I spontaneously exclaimed "FUCK YEAH SPACE WHALE!"

I also go to see the avatars. I also love that shit. I'm gonna see Fire & Ash on the biggest screen with the best picture and most immersive sound I can haul my bones to.
