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…

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…

Orchiectomy – Hello Pain!!

June 8, 2019

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…

Female or Transgender Female??

January 18, 2019

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…
