About me
I'm Robin. Trans woman, 27, based somewhere in the Netherlands.
I came out to myself in 2014 but for a long time I didn't have the words or the courage to do much with it. My early twenties were spent in queer clubs, dancing, escaping, trying to figure out who I was in spaces that actually felt safe enough to try. Those years were messy and loud and exactly what I needed. I found community there before I found myself.
I started my medical transition in 2023. The waiting list was long, the system was slow, and getting to the other side of it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I know who I am now and I know what I want. I'm just following the steps to make it happen.
Fashion was always the dream. I wanted to design, to create, to make things that meant something, but life took me to IT instead. I don't regret it, but fashion never left. It became the way I express everything I can't say out loud. Every outfit is a sentence.
I have a degree in IT and I'm currently studying Information Security because I want to understand the systems around us — who built them, who they serve, and who they were never meant to protect.
Talk to me. About anything. I genuinely mean that. Someone's full unfiltered life story told over drinks at 3am is my idea of a perfect night. No TMI in this house, ever.

Started Progesterone. On the waiting list for FFS (rhinoplasty & brow reduction). Started the process of legally changing my name.
Estrogen patches + testosterone blockers. The wait is finally over!
Got the call to start the medical journey at VUMC.
The first person outside of myself who I told about my feelings and the name I wanted to use from now on.
Sadly for most trans people, I had to wait till I could start my medical journey.
After years of thinking I was gay men, it finally clicked how I really felt.
