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…
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…
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?

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…

Recently (who am I kidding, it was months ago!) a reader of this blog, Stana, a most awesome blogger herself, asked for me to expand on this section of one of my posts: Hormones – This one was life changing for me. It really opened my eyes to my reality. I laugh at who I thought I was prior to last July and changing my hormones to the right ones. Changing my hormones did many things for me. Physically they…
Do you know what gatekeeping is? Here is an acceptable definition: the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something. How exactly does that apply to trans folk? Normally it is interpreted as – you cannot do this thing, take hormones or have surgeries, until you have met the following predefined characteristics. Those characteristics are outlined within WPATH’s(World Professional Association for Transgender Health) SOC (standards of care.) The SOC have never been an issue for me until recently.…
