Sometimes I forget that my ex husband told me I would never be able to be a trans attorney. And here I am. About to graduate law school. Living the life I always dreamed of. And I am so proud of myself and happy to be here.
Stunning moment: At a town hall in Berlin, N.H., Nikki Haley was asked by a voter what was the cause of the Civil War. She said the war was about government interfering in people’s freedoms. The voter then called her out for not mentioning slavery.
Nobody at my law firm has sent a firm wide email letting me know their child is selling Girl Scouts cookies. And frankly, that’s grounds for me quitting
Saw this on a Facebook group. Lawyers are the most insufferable people ever. FWIW don’t Fuck during lunch on the day of the bar. Jesus. Focus on the exam and eating. Not getting laid.
I hate the fact that once you’re admitted to one state it’s basically like you either live there til you retire or you take another bar exam. Like I love GA and all but I would also love to have the idea of being able to move without putting my life on hold for a damn exam
Today is the day! I made it one year sober! Through a pandemic no less! White knuckled part of it, but I did it! I never ever thought I could do this. But I am more proud of myself than I have EVER been in my life. I have earned today. And I have earned the chip that I get today!
So. My mom told me that I have to move out of my grandparents condo I rent. I spoke to my grandparents. She did not confer with them. And they don’t want/need me to move. Oh how the cookie crumbles
Judge complimented me!!! Said I was a natural!!! Said I didn’t need any grace. Said she didn’t go easy on me! Said I was like I had been doing this for 20 years and welcomed me to the profession!!!!
My professor’s elderly mother has dementia and now has COVID-19. She will likely die soon. My professor did not cancel class and felt as though she couldn’t interrupt class to answer the nursing homes phone. My classmates spoke up and told her to take the call and just call break
Tomorrow will be 950 days sober. For someone who couldn’t imagine 6 months or 1 year without a drink, I am truly flabbergasted that I am here today and oh so so proud of myself
I kinda wanna become one of them lawyer-journalists and just report on cases. I feel like it would be cool. Also. I would link the pleadings in the report
Today I took a BIG step in my trans journey. I changed the sex on my drivers license from m to f. I’m legally a lady. In the words of
@ShaniaTwain
Man. I feel like a Woman.
Today, the Oregon Supreme Court, in a historic vote, unanimously approved the Supervised Practice Portfolio Examination (SPPE) - a new pathway to attorney licensure in Oregon. Read more here:
Sometimes would online shop during 1L because I didn’t know I was ADHD and I’d get “bored” until I had to write something down, even though I was listening
Y’all. I put in my 2 weeks with the firm I’ve been at for 5 years. And I’ll be starting with a new firm as a paralegal with a pay increase. And if I do real well. I may be a shoe in for an associate job 🤞🏻 Love this for me
We NEED to do better for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. Our jobs and education can wait. Our loved ones can’t. Life is precious and short.
I got a D+ in con law. I’ve never been more proud of myself in my life. 16 year old me would be so ashamed. Me now is more proud of the woman I am today than ever. I am beyond proud to do *this* and kick ass being fly as hell. Gradez don’t make the person. The person does
Lolol. I downloaded hinge this morning. And this guy who went to law school with me hmu. We’ve been talking all day. Oh. And yah. He’s a PUBLIC DEFENDER!!! We are planning on chilling Sunday and imma make him watch drag race. Which he’s into learning about!
What’s the billable code for “I just finished a major project and I don’t wanna do work on the day before thanksgiving where we leave the office at 3 and I wanna hide under my desk?” Asking for a friend
Well. We had FaceTimed. We had talked on the phone, at his request while I was driving back. And we made plans for a date. And he STOOD ME UP & BLOCKED ME!!!

FWIW I’m GA when you’re admitted to practice law you’re admitted to the trial courts. You have to additionally be sworn into the COA and Supreme Court. Shoutout to
@CharlieBethel
and
@JudgeDillard
for swearing me into the COA & Supreme Court
Today I came across a lawyer who advertises that he is admitted to practice in:
-All Texas District Courts,
-All Texas County Courts,
-All Texas Courts of Appeals,
-The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and
-The Texas Supreme Court.
In other words, he passed the Texas Bar Exam.
Thank you all for the likes and comments. I NEVER imagined I would ever get to live a life where I love how I look and get to be happy in my body. I am so happy to get to live the life I do now
Remember. It’s not international women’s day if you don’t include trans women.
If you don’t believe trans women are women. Kindly 1. Fuck off. 2. Block me.
