Last mountain climbed Long years past by As she gazed with aged eye The aerie where her hopes do lie And all the world to save Burdens laid aside at last Her back like an arrow cast Aimed at new beast to slay She waits at the end of day Beneath the sunset sky No…… Continue reading Ascent
And now what?
I participate in a forum for transgender, transsexual people. It is populated by lovely and giving people. Early on I received a great deal of support; now I need a little less and I try to supply what I can. One of the issues that gets talked about is post-op depression. There’s a huge investment…… Continue reading And now what?
Keeping a sense of humor
I had to make an appointment with a gynecologist. It was unsurprisingly my first that wasn’t just to talk to her before surgery so the first real appointment wouldn’t be too strange (where are the smiley faces when I want one!). I’ve been to a lot of doctors and there are many awkward positions available.…… Continue reading Keeping a sense of humor
The Whys of SRS
Why get confirmation surgery at all? I’ve written before about people who insist that getting surgery is some requirement for being “serious” about being a woman (or a man I suppose for the FtM community). My negative feelings about those folks haven’t moderated, no person, regardless of intent has a right to put such a…… Continue reading The Whys of SRS
Lost
We go to find our friends so dear along the moonlit drive Wandering both far and near we call, no answer, why? For years they’ve stood there by your side through thick and thin you trust Then the next page opens wide and still they’re there but just Yet then the changes batter down the…… Continue reading Lost
Three weeks post op
This is likely the last post solely about my surgery, truthfully there are many details that are inappropriate to share either because of my privacy and modesty, or a desire to not publish uncomfortable descriptions. For those who want the anatomical, medical view of this topic I suggest doing searches on PubMed and YouTube has…… Continue reading Three weeks post op
Them or me, partie deuxieme
This isn’t really about trans issues, at least that isn’t my call on it. One of the other things that happens in life is finding out a friend isn’t much of a friend. To my thinking friends care about each other and therefore would care if they upset a friend, would want to know why…… Continue reading Them or me, partie deuxieme
Transitioning at Work
During March 2014 I went full time. Like most transitioning men and women I had transitioned everywhere but work. Work was the scariest place to transition since a disaster there would be hard to recover from. Work would also place the greatest demands to date to be dressed and present appropriately, and determining what appropriate…… Continue reading Transitioning at Work
Reimagined
Longtime hid behind the mask Imagined strips of clay Hiding self and glory dim Waiting for the day Sleep awhile and wake with morn Marvels wait within Sleepy eyes behold new hope Rising without sin Dance around the fairy ring Contra creed and faith Till the magic portal makes A passage to new grace Emerge…… Continue reading Reimagined
Two weeks
Well, two weeks is actually tomorrow morning, but I figured this was close enough. I had my last checkup with Dr. Leis last night and was told I’m healing up well. There are some extremely minor issues that will resolve themselves over time, nothing terribly annoying. Lacking some sin of omission or commission on my…… Continue reading Two weeks
