I’ve heard this about others, and I even heard this had circulated at work just before I had officially come out. After the email went out, but before the training meeting. That I was selfish. That so and so is selfish; why did they get married if they knew. That he’s selfish, how could he…… Continue reading Are we selfish

Unicorns
We are not unusual to ourselves. We know at least one transgender person really well and usually a good number of other ones. It isn’t uncommon for us to know other transgender people’s stories either. This should not come as a surprise. Is doesn’t, right? For people meeting us this is often not true. We…… Continue reading Unicorns
Yom Hashoah
Or Yom HaZikaron. Holocaust day or the day of remembrance, but in both cases remembering the 6 million jews that died in Nazi germany. While not the only genocidal act ever committed it has the dubious honor of being one specifically targeting a group of people for their faith and systematically and efficiently destroying them.…… Continue reading Yom Hashoah
Why you should always hope
My friends, especially those in pain of mind or body or soul. Gut wrenching or that small ins insidious pain that keeps you up at night. The mental anguish that robs you of sleep.

Why after three years full time?
Here I am, pretty comfortable in my skin. I would say I’m post transition, but the truth is that there are still small changes and accommodations still happening over time.

A Shift
A quick statement and then to the story. I’ve been doing the blog for about eighteen months and I had a few reasons I wanted to do it.

The WPATH requirements are a minimum of 1 year living continuously in your new…… Continue reading Memories from 2014 – Q3 and Q4

Why Cross Dressers aren’t Trans and Caitlyn Jenner is
I find myself this morning eating my Cheerios with some almond milk. My iPad is playing a video on YouTube with this guy talking about a video he’s playing. In it some woman is explaining her objections to trans people and confusing some things together. The male commentator made a disparaging remark about Caitlyn Jenner.…… Continue reading Why Cross Dressers aren’t Trans and Caitlyn Jenner is
Detransition
Sometimes a person will go back. They will decide that having gone from Jim to Jane they want to be Jim again. If they are doing this early in the process then really it may be for the best – you don’t always know until you’re knee deep how you feel about it. It isn’t…… Continue reading Detransition
