This is not only my first actual post on here, it's also my...

Obligatory Charmed! 2023 Recap Post

I’ve spent the past few days trying to figure out how to write about my first in-person Charmed! experience. Where do I start? What do I share? What don't I share? :catsmirk:

Do I start by describing my first experience with TSA as a trans woman (tl;dr—“anomaly in the genital region”) or work backward from my rather better TSA experience coming back home from BWI (“Ha! Fools! My crotch-glamor grows in strength with every act of systemic transphobia visited upon me!”).

Well.... This is going to be messy and incomplete and I guess I’ve got to be okay with that. iOS wants to spell-correct “Charmed!” to “Charned!” and I am not gonna waste valuable fucks to correct each and every infraction my bimbo-pilled phone makes.

I’m not really going to talk about the classes I took because as great as they were (omg, the pet play one). This isn’t journalism. This is complicated and my brain is tired.

I’m gonna do this the PhosphenousFox-ADHD-Brain-Way

Fun Stuff I Did

Got to be a demo bottom for five minutes and get dropped with a touch-based induction in front of a class

Elevator Fractionation: I tranced my friend to briefly drop into trance every time the elevator doors shut (except when normies were about) and to be pulled up when the elevator doors opened (yet another safety).

Made some new friends (it turns out cute trans girls really are in my area, or at least only a couple of hours away)

Ate tasty brisket at Mission BBQ

Getting to wear a bra with conductive thread woven through it and then having my boobs zapped with a violet wand in the dark (TRON boobs)

Saw many folks whom I have seen in online spaces and classes in person for the first time!

Having one of my favorite hypnosmut authors join my crew's table at breakfast and sharing discord emojis of our cats

One of the demo bottoms from a class I attended said hi to me and called me beautiful 😭😭😭

The Not-Fun Stuff

My pants split down the middle while I was helping a friend unload her merch from her truck and we had to go to Target to buy me new pants.

I was awake for 36 hours by the time I fell asleep Thursday night.

I had a panic attack and felt a wave of imposter syndrome Friday afternoon. A good friend took me aside and calmed me down and said something that had never been explicitly stated: "You belong here. You are not an interloper."

Constantly self-judging my appearance (despite the fact we all were wearing masks!).

Saturday night con drop 😞

Silently crying at 3 AM in the bathtub because I missed my partner (she wasn't able to come with me to the con because of scheduling conflicts and she's a major source of emotional support for me)

The classes were great and many were ones I'd seen attending Charmed! Online in 2022 (my first year). But I think I missed a real opportunity by focusing so much on classes at the expense of informal socializing.

As sort of a postscript: Until a few months ago, most of my trancing experience has been via Discord servers and as fun as that's been, this con has made me realize how much more I love in-real-life hypno experiences. It wasn't just the immediacy of doing things in person--I really felt a sense of inclusion that I was not expecting. As a trans woman, I'm used to seeing people cis guys being casually transphobic on public hypno discord servers (which is one reason why I'm not active on those anymore). What impressed me about Charmed was that at no point did I feel uncomfortable because of my transness. It was a very welcoming environment, I felt incredibly safe, and I am going to be back next year for sure.
