Recently I received a comment from a dear reader that I think deserves to have it’s own post. Hello again. I hope my compliment didn’t take away from the gravity of your post. The story you shared is an important one. As a mother and as a teacher, I want all of my children/students to feel safe at school. And you have set such an amazing example – I bet you have no idea how many kids you’ve touched just…

What? Hormones Were Life Changing?
January 1, 2019Recently (who am I kidding, it was months ago!) a reader of this blog, Stana, a most awesome blogger herself, asked for me to expand on this section of one of my posts: Hormones – This one was life changing for me. It really opened my eyes to my reality. I laugh at who I thought I was prior to last July and changing my hormones to the right ones. Changing my hormones did many things for me. Physically they…

Gatekeeping, Ignorance, Transphobia
October 25, 2018Do you know what gatekeeping is? Here is an acceptable definition: the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.

So I did a Little Thing
October 19, 2018One of the easiest things in this process of legally changing my name and my gender was getting this driver’s license. You may recall that I was quite nervous about the process. In the end, it was super easy and I was in and out of the DMV in about 20 minutes. Yes I did have an appointment, and I highly recommend making one if you are ever in a need to visit that lovely place. The super surprising thing…

1 Regret, Some Could Have Done Betters, And Lots of Glad I Dids
September 13, 2018About 6 months ago. I will be the first to admit that my transition has not gone the way that I expected it to. My whole life has been spent picturing people chasing me down with torches and pitchforks. I know that would never happen, but as well I am the type that is afraid of a shark biting me when I jump in my pool. I know that it isn’t real, and I know it is not ever going…
