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…
Apparently that is the question. Confused? Possibly. Well, the other day on Insta I received the following message: When you pose in a car, may I ask a favor? Please shed the sunglasses for the time to take a selfie. As a lesbian, I want to see your whole face. I went back through my Insta feed and noticed that there are probably about 35 or so pictures with me with sunglasses on and about the same with them off. …
Dress – Max Studio @ Amazon Scarf – no idea – Similar @ Amazon Shoes – Born O Concept. Schirra – Similar @ Amazon, @ DSW I wore this outfit about a week ago when my wife and I were able to go to a local college, COS, and give a talk on gender.

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…
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. On a level of 1 to 10, can you describe the pain you are in? 1 is no pain at all and a 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt. Where would I describe this pain? Oh, in the 9-10 range. I don’t really think I have ever felt any pain like this before. However, when I was asked this question yesterday in the hospital, I said, oh I don’t know maybe…
One of the most challenging questions I have had to deal with is trying to determine if I have lost friends because of my transition. I am a member of a chat board called crossdressers.com and on that board people are very fond of saying that when you transition you need to be prepared to lose everyone and everything and thus they do not recommend transitioning unless it is a life and death situation. That sentiment scared me off from…
Regret is a very difficult thing to deal with, and there is great concern out there about what will happen if a transgender person may regret their decision to transition. I first encountered this worry when I informed my friends and family that I had switched my hormones. I was actually quite surprised at how many people said to me – wow, okay, are you sure that is what you want to do? And very often that was followed up…
