I love the simplicity of this photo and the way that it has proven me to be so wrong about my body. I have never really seen any of my body parts as being very feminine. Yes I can for sure create great looking decolletage, but it really is just for so as my boobs aren’t really any where near as large as I can make them look in photos. But, I digress, this post is not about my breasts,…
On June 27th Jodie and I got married! Technically it is the second time we got married and it legally wont ever count for anything, but for me, it really felt like the first time we got married. I was able to be the one who got to plan the entire shin dig. I mean yes, like any good bride I asked Jodie what she wanted and I sought out her input frequently. But seriously, at the end of the…
http://transcister.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/transcister-radio/id1495662499 https://transcister-radio.captivate.fm/ I think it probably is about five years ago that my friend Dana came to me and asked me if I would be interested in creating a podcast with her. She had this crazy idea about doing a podcast focusing on transgender issues from people who live in the central valley of California. Of course I jumped at the opportunity. Initially the podcast was run under a nearby LGBTQ+ organization but it quickly became apparent that we…
Do you know how large a bile duct is? I didn’t. But now I do. It is about 2-4 mm. Which isn’t very large. It is so strange to ponder if most of my readership understands the metric system. Most of the world knows metric better than imperial measurements, but most of my readers are from the US where I wonder if they really know the different between 2 mm and 1/4 inch, but I digress. Let’s just say that…
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…
In January, almost a year ago, I met with Dr. Satterwhite in SF. Don’t know who he is? Well he is going to perform my gender surgery. Gender surgery? Yes. It has gone by a variety of acronyms, none of which are without issue. Suffice it to say this is THE surgery. Yup, that one. THE one, lol. Still confused, well then maybe that’s for the best and we will leave it at that. The date that I chose for…
On Thanksgiving Jodie spoke with her dad on the phone. He said to her “so, your spouse is translucent?” Knowing that her dad has Parkinson’s and quite a bit of resulting dementia, Jodie only recently began discussing my transition with him. She said “well yes dad, my wife is transgender.” He said, “well the only photo I have of you two is from before, and it’s really hard to explain it well to my friends.” She says “So dad, would…
