Being Me 9/9/16

I’ve dated this because, it will become dated. I continue to take stock as things change, as I change as the people around me change, as my relationships change. Life is change, it stops when we die, and not before. I’ve spoken before about what transition is, and I emphasized the mental. I was right…… Continue reading Being Me 9/9/16

Colors

The world of color for men tends to not be very descriptive, as in “what color are your pants?” the reply is “blue” or maybe “light blue” never “navy blue” vs “indigo” vs “cornflower” vs “robin’s egg blue” vs “cerulean” vs “teal”. It’s “orange” and absolutely never ever “salmon” or “coral”. The really crazy thing…… Continue reading Colors

Ladies Room Redux

I was having a talk with a gf at work, mostly a funny one because there are some oddities about the bathrooms at work and some other things came up that weren’t mentioned but clearly are worth a quick comment. Speed: When there’s no line and the stalls aren’t all occupied you don’t have to…… Continue reading Ladies Room Redux

Need a Label

We just don’t have a good name for it I realized. My separated but not divorced spouse that I’m still friends with who isn’t really my wife. Can’t use wife, can’t use partner or significant other, girlfriend is too confusing because it could be taken as Girlfriend instead. Very tough. Then I’m thinking well she’s…… Continue reading Need a Label

The Ladies Room

An advantage of having passed some milestones is having also reached a point where I can take a different attitude about talking about using bathrooms. A little more informative, a little less paranoid. I obviously don’t need to instruct other women on using the ladies room, so I’m clearly aiming this at my fellow MtF…… Continue reading The Ladies Room

Can this blog mix in tech?

Can I convince you all to vote? My real actual expertise is in software and tech. I’ve been aware for a long time that issues from how a computer works to how come I can’t recover my machine taken over by ransom ware are incomprehensible to people. If I wanted to talk about some of…… Continue reading Can this blog mix in tech?

Reflections

A sideways glance I barely see The girl stands there In front of me I did not know How this could be The creature there Could ere be me? Twas as if I Caught a glance Of someone  else Whilst in a trance So unlike he That used to be A real live girl In…… Continue reading Reflections

Self Acceptance, Loss and Validation

What is your goal? This is an important question and I will claim that your happiness depends on your goal. I’ve heard it said that you cannot depend on others for your happiness and I have found that to be more than a little bit true. Yet this missive is not about happiness per se,…… Continue reading Self Acceptance, Loss and Validation

Life Lessons about Transition

It’s been almost three years since I started HRT. It is about three years to the day when I returned from Province town and decided that I could transition. Province town had been the experiment in living full time.  Starting with my return I came off the small dose of testosterone I was still on…… Continue reading Life Lessons about Transition

Tiny Face

A half moon Looks up In delight at the sky Whispers words Looking out Over an August sea The rain falls It runs in rivers Cords flow over asphalt She laughs in delight Small face Against the glass Second summer Near the ground Beautiful sounds Only she can hear Beams like iron Bake the tar…… Continue reading Tiny Face
