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…

To Shade or Not To Shade

July 27, 2019

Apparently that is the question.  Confused?  Possibly.  Well, the other day on Insta I received the following message: When you pose in a car, may I ask a favor? Please shed the sunglasses for the time to take a selfie. As a lesbian, I want to see your whole face. I went back through my Insta feed and noticed that there are probably about 35 or so pictures with me with sunglasses on and about the same with them off. …

Trans Regret & Body Autonomy

April 11, 2019

Regret is a very difficult thing to deal with, and there is great concern out there about what will happen if a transgender person may regret their decision to transition.  I first encountered this worry when I informed my friends and family that I had switched my hormones. I was actually quite surprised at how many people said to me – wow, okay, are you sure that is what you want to do? And very often that was followed up…

The True Pain of Electrolysis

July 21, 2018

Sitting in the front office getting my chin numbed. It is with grave misfortune that I neglected to heed the advice of those who have come before me in regards to electrolysis.  That advice was to start now!  And I will repeat it, if you are contemplating the possibility of one day doing this to yourself, stop thinking about it, and just go do it!  Seriously! My issue?  My issue is that I didn’t ever really think that I would…

Play The Hand You Have Been Dealt?

November 29, 2017

It’s a fascinating thing, sitting back and attempting to observe yourself.  I once had a boss tell me that I had the most accurate self reflections of anyone he had ever met.  That really pleased me.  For if there is one thing that I have constantly striven to do, it has been to have an accurate picture of who I am.  Thinking of that line now, I have to laugh.  For if I was actually accurate in my self reflections,…

Prostate Confusion

July 11, 2017

Well now, it has been a little bit since I came clean here about what is going on with me and my prostate, but there appears to be a lingering confusion as to what is happening with my prostate.  Several people I have spoken to have been greatly concerned that I am dealing more with obtaining hormones than dealing with my health.  Some of these people have been close friends and some have been well meaning internet friends. I have…
