I Used to do Things, Now I Dilate

November 21, 2022

I’ve never been great at keeping up with this blog and it has never been my intention to be a daily blogger, but I used to be able to post a bit more than I have lately. I also used to work on a little side project called TransCisTer Radio. Oh and I had started to do some art, remember that? I think I shared some of my art here, but maybe not. I used to do lots of projects…

Summer is Over, Now We Settle In

August 23, 2021

Well summer is officially over. Well okay maybe not so much when the temps are still like 108 F. But for me it still is the season of summer is over as we have returned to the classroom. Which for me is an amazing and lovely thing for more than one reason. Yes I like working with my students. Yes I actually like my job. However it is way more that makes me thrilled at returning to work this year.…

My Trans Reality Isn’t Free of Growth

July 27, 2021

When I tell people that at times I have a super difficult time with my dysphoria and being out in public they often scoff at me. They tell me that I pass perfectly well and that there is absolutely no reasons whatsoever that I should not feel totally and fully comfortable at all times in all settings with anybody. Wow, that is a tall order. To pass at all times in all settings anywhere? How about naked? Okay, well then…

Being Overly Critical

July 21, 2020

I was just reading someone’s opinion on a website about MtF transgender voice therapy and something struck me, how critical are you of gender “tells?” The specific thought someone posted was in saying that while they have heard many transgender women speak they are still aware that the person was born AMAB. I am not wanting specifics on where that opinion was posted as I am not wanting to trash that person, that is not the point. What I am…

Being a Transgender Teacher

October 15, 2019

People often ask me what it is like to be a transgender middle school math teacher, this is what it is like.  Not enough of an explanation?  Okay….. I’ll give you a bit more info on the card above.  This was a card that some of my students gave me about two weeks ago, on my birthday. The card was special in and of itself, but it is even more special when one understands the back story.  So, the back…

The Writing is on the Wall

July 30, 2019

Well, no, not actually.  Really the writing is on the label on the lid. A year and half ago or so I realized that I was going to legally transition and most likely end up fully transitioning.  It was sometime around then that I realized it was time to start working on my handwriting again. It’s interesting to see what transgender people end up not liking about themselves.  For many of us it is obviously body parts that we don’t…

2 Year Estro-Versary!

July 5, 2019

Wow, really, it has been two years?  Hmmm….. how did that happen?  In many ways, it is surprising to me that two years have passed since I first changed my hormones.  It feels as though the time has flown by and that it can’t possibly have already been two years.  I have felt great and it has done nothing but cement in my mind that this trans stuff is totally real!!  I know, little Mrs. me, forever doubtful of the…
