Remembering…

We, each of us, have a story that tells how we become who we are as adults and as the people we are today. These are some of my signposts. Some are subtle, but most are not even close. As I transitioned I lived my life again. I recalled times, thoughts and events from twenty,…… Continue reading Remembering…

Parents your children need you

I made the mistake of watching a piece of Dr Phil on You Tube about a trans teen and her mom. Irritating to say the least. Where do they find these people. However, I do know that the drama I saw plays out all the time. This is in two parts. First to the parents,…… Continue reading Parents your children need you

Womyn Only

A short post, but I have to get this off my chest. I was looking through the meetup groups and saw a lesbian group that seemed appropriate. I’m looking at the info on the group and get to the bottom. Women born women only. Really! Why? What exactly is the threat or the problem for…… Continue reading Womyn Only

To All the Good Men

I’ve known so many good men, and I still do. Men who would not think to touch a woman against her wishes, men who would not stand by while another was doing such either. Yet I’ve heard things over the years, excuses made for bad behavior and assumptions about what some things must be. Date…… Continue reading To All the Good Men

Biology and SRS

When I was visiting with the GYN I was telling her how blown away I am that all this stuff is possible and works so well. I said a lot of this to her – I’m hoping she would have stopped me rather than agreeing if I was wrong, so here are some of my…… Continue reading Biology and SRS

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

Hell on Earth

The second of the pair At the sight of the elders The young men laugh at their stooped shoulders and their canes They ridicule their slow gate The wrinkles they have earned See only the outer skin And not the sweet person within The family visits three times a year Each time the children are…… Continue reading Hell on Earth

The Elysium Fields

First of two coupled poems The young children sit At the feet of the sage Drink in the wisdom The wisdom of age The gifted are held With soft loving hands Their prophesies heard Lend meaning to plans The young men they dance The young women to They care not who couples With whom and…… Continue reading The Elysium Fields

The Vagina Monologues

I watch what is doubtlessly too many videos on YouTube. Many of them are educational. Some aren’t, being entertained is ok, it can be a nice way to end the day. The other day what popped up was the Vagina Monologues and I just had to watch. I really wondered if I’d get anything out…… Continue reading The Vagina Monologues

SRS going on nine months

Not exactly nine, more than eight, less than nine. It’s been four months or so since I’ve written anything about the surgery and the results. Truthfully things are not enormously changed, there are issues I’m dealing with, but they are very few. A few weeks ago I was finally able to ditch the liners. This…… Continue reading SRS going on nine months
