Ahhh, so this is retirement huh? Interesting.

October 5, 2026

Today is the day after I turned 55, which means that it is the first day I am officially able to retire. So what did I do? I freaking retired, of course! It was so totally not the way I expected things to go with my retirement. Imagine that, I actually wanted to continue teaching middle school math. Can you imagine? I wanted to do it? I actually liked doing it? Yeah I know weird, I did like teaching. And…

Children are better seen than heard; really?

August 30, 2026

When I was eight years old I went to my parents and said, hey, I think this part of my arm is larger than the other side, while pointing towards my left deltoid. I had noticed this weird lump on my arm for a while prior to going to my parents. The thing was that I didn’t really want to go to my parents and tell them that I thought that anything was wrong. I mean I was raised by…

A Day of A Wonderful Reality

August 7, 2026

For the last 30 years today was a day of harsh reality, but now it is not that any longer and that is a lovely thing. The new school year has started back up and I am not a part of that. Which is sad, but amazingly awesomely fabulous! I am so excited about what the future is going to bring for my wife and I. We have no idea what that is going to be, but it is going…

We Got Married Again, but It Feels Like the First Time, and its Amazing

September 5, 2023

On June 27th Jodie and I got married! Technically it is the second time we got married and it legally wont ever count for anything, but for me, it really felt like the first time we got married. I was able to be the one who got to plan the entire shin dig. I mean yes, like any good bride I asked Jodie what she wanted and I sought out her input frequently. But seriously, at the end of the…

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…

Educating my Dermatologist on Gender Dysphoria

September 13, 2022

When I first started seeing my therapist I told her that I didn’t have any gender dysphoria. It didn’t take me very long to follow that up with, so by the way, what exactly is gender dysphoria? She explained it simply as a disconnect between one’s birth gender and one’s perceived or mental gender. I again repeated, yeah, no, I don’t have that and don’t think I have ever felt that way. I think a good question that I could…

Menstrual Products and My Misunderstood Childhood

December 11, 2021

I used to think I was so weird, but I had absolutely no context whatsoever to explain absolutely anything that I was experiencing. One of the things that I could never really wrap my head around was my fascination with menstrual products. My sister is about two and a half years older than me and while growing up we shared a bathroom. She was always upset because I took so long in the restroom and she could never understand what…
