Disclaimer – I am about to discuss some issue that some may find inappropriate, and I certainly see as pretty personal. But I have received some questions, so I thought maybe you might want some answers! A couple of people have expressed concern that I appear more concerned about transition related medication than I do the health of my prostate. Can I take a moment to clear up that misconception? Here is the full story, okay? For years I have…

An Update on Counseling
June 5, 2017Well well well. It was what a couple of weeks ago when I explained why I was seeking out counseling for my gender variance? I think, hmm…. let’s check. Yup here it is. It took a bit of time but I got setup with someone who I thought was good. But things took a turn that I did not want it to. She wanted to work on CBT (look it up) for some inner critical voices. I let her know…

I wasn’t having a panic attack or…
I wouldn’t really say that I am doing HRT, hormone replacement therapy, but I would suppose that on some level I am affecting my hormones. You may remember from awhile back a post I wrote about my doctor when I asked about taking Finasteride, instead of the drug I was taking (Tamsulosin.) During that visit she denied my request.

The Adjacent Possible
January 27, 2017I have been gathering some ideas to do a write up on how to shop successfully at outlet malls while being transgender. Though the snarky part of me keeps saying, that’ll be a short article; to shop successfully you need to just do it! There ya go! Short, simple, sweet, and to the point! But then, I do understand that I do have a bit of flair in shopping well. There might just be some tips I could offer to…
Brook, Bobbi, Nadine. So far those are the iterations of names that I have gone through and I think I am getting ready to go through another. I am mentally amping myself up to begin going with Kelly as my new nom de plume. Well, actually what I have been contemplating is adding a middle name to my current name. So….. my current name is Nadine Spirit, but you already know that right? Okay, well there is no middle name…
