My Trans Reality Isn’t Free of Growth

July 27, 2021

When I tell people that at times I have a super difficult time with my dysphoria and being out in public they often scoff at me. They tell me that I pass perfectly well and that there is absolutely no reasons whatsoever that I should not feel totally and fully comfortable at all times in all settings with anybody. Wow, that is a tall order. To pass at all times in all settings anywhere? How about naked? Okay, well then…

My Hair

May 1, 2018

On occasion I receive compliments on my hair. I really appreciate the thoughts but I also feel super guilty and almost immediately have to tell people that it isn’t actually my real hair. It is something that I need to stop doing. Who cares if people know that it is my real hair or not, right? I suppose I am the only one who really cares and ultimately it is a result of having not voluntarily given up my hair. …
