I’ll call her T, but she could be someone you know. She could be someone struggling with her college lessons, her trauma after a sexual assault, growing up with abusive parents indelibly scarred, returning from a war torn landscape remaking her world, or fighting substance abuse. It doesn’t matter. My T is another trans person,…… Continue reading About T

Through Our Fingers
We race Along the plain Following A path dimly seen Darkness Hides the path behind History Dimly seen Choices Yet to make Each Alone and yet together Some Leave before us Others Leave after Yet We can sometimes help others Make Their path last longer With Greater joy and laughter Make ready For those who…… Continue reading Through Our Fingers
What’s Transitioning?
Definition: the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. That’s helpful, we know what a transition is. What does it mean for a person to transition from male to female or female to male? That’s more complex. There are at least three different things people talk about using the same…… Continue reading What’s Transitioning?
North Carolina Boycott – Hypocrisy?
Sometimes it’s interesting to read things that you don’t necessarily agree with. It keeps us intellectually honest. It stimulates our brains. It forces us to question our assumptions about our beliefs and the world. It can make us realize that there isn’t one correct answer but a multitude that depend on your values, faith and…… Continue reading North Carolina Boycott – Hypocrisy?
Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?
I was reading about a five year old going to the Nova school in St Paul. There are a few different articles out there. It isn’t the school’s actions that have me concerned but the reactions of the other parents. We are talking about five year olds here. Their child was being bullied at school…… Continue reading Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?

The other day I found myself mighty uncomfortable. Now when I say uncomfortable I mean that…… Continue reading The ides of April

LG why don’t you support BT?
I’ll start by saying I’m not anti gay or anti gay rights. I’m in favor of everyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, religion, sex or any other criteria that’s been used to oppress people to have equal rights under the law as soon as possible. I also acknowledge that what I’m going…… Continue reading LG why don’t you support BT?
Coming Out
I apologize right up front. I can only talk about my successes and failures and what I’d do differently given the opportunity. This is a story, not advice. I’m still coming out to people. There’s no one right way to do this. No prescription. Everyone’s friends, family, social circles, and jobs are different and call…… Continue reading Coming Out
Getting Started
I was looking at a T-Girl’s blog and it brought back to mind those early and scary days of trying to buy those first few items. What to buy and where to buy it. Will they laugh at me and can I even use the changing room? It really is a quandary. The chicken and…… Continue reading Getting Started
