Supporting Local LGBT+ Youth

November 10, 2019

This is what I wore to a local LGBT+ event.  I live near Visalia, Ca and our main resource center is The Source.  For the past few years they have been doing a fundraising event called Over the Edge.  People pledge to make so much money in donations and if they meet their goal, then they repel off the highest structure in the city.  I personally do not want to repel off the building, no matter what, so I just…

Electrolysis Reality Check

November 3, 2019

June of 2018 I went to my first electro appointment. They started on my face. It took over 20 hours to fully clear my entire face 1 time. Yesterday they cleared my face in 2 hours. It will probably take an additional 6 months of full clearings and then it will be gone for the entire rest of my life!   Now we are slowly working our way down my body. 6 hours was spent on my upper bikini line.…

Advocating

October 26, 2019

Okay so the photos are horrible. Apparently my wife and I specialize in blurry photos! Ha! However, the day was not horrible. I spent the morning teaching my middle schoolers and then we jetted up to UC Merced. I gave my TG presentation detailing my decision to transition and afterwards we both fielded questions from the students. The professor there is amazing and he sent me a link to his student responses to our discussion. Here are a few of…

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…

My Outfit – Yoga Dress Pants

September 20, 2019

Top – White House Black Market – Similar @Amazon, @WHBM Pants – Tribal – Similar @Amazon, @Zappos Shoes – Unisa – Similar @Amazon, @DSW Wow, the last time I put up an outfit post was back in July.  That is a bit unusual.  I am still wearing post worthy outfits, it’s just that I’m too pooped upon arriving home to haul out the camera and grab a few shots.  Oh and as well, when the temperatures are as ridiculous as…

Friends, Mis-Gendering, and Warm Fuzzies

September 4, 2019

My friend has an amazing filter on her camera, it removed about 20 years!! I had a fascinating set of interactions with some friends recently.  One of them was with three different teachers I worked with for a few years, the second one was with a college professor who I work with in helping to teach teachers, and the third was one of my employers. While they will certainly recognize themselves in this post, I will change their names.  My…

In the Closet and In a Wedding??

August 12, 2019

  You may remember that recently my friend Dana and I began a podcast.  We have been having lots of fun recording it, and sharing out bit of weirdness with the world.  We recently received a great question from a listener.  I was emailing her back today and thought, hey, maybe I should share this with a larger community to try and get more opinions.  So I’d encourage you to reach out and give me your thoughts. Hello!   My…
