I was thinking back over some of the serious issues that went by on the path and of all of them, this was perhaps the most grave. Suicide claims the lives of many people each year and it is said that about 40% of transgender people attempt it during their lives. Depression and despair take…… Continue reading Suicide is Painless (not really)

Memories from 2013 – Q4
With September came the falling away of those last doubts and fears. Testosterone had lost its seductive libidinous power over me. Getting into the endocrinologist at first was driving me to despair: No delays is a forlorn hope. The good news was that my regular therapist and I were all on the same page on…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q4
Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3
The following is a few weeks later. Our friend S took me out for some pampering. I’m leaving out the piper’s price, such is life, as protection to guilty and innocent alike. Dear diary, most of today was lovely. My friend S and I went and were made over (you can not quite see it…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3
Memories from 2013 – Q1
As I understand it, it can take awhile for all the receptors to get recharged. I wasn’t surprised that my trans feelings came back with the hormones and the sex drive, and I guess I can honestly say that I missed them since they were part of me. For the last six weeks everything’s been…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q1
Trans children, what’s the correct course?
There was recently aired a BBC program on the debates around properly treating trans kids. I’ve read reviews, but the program itself can’t be seen outside the UK. However, we can talk about the subject without getting too deep into a program. On the one side is the thought that a gender dysphoric kid should…… Continue reading Trans children, what’s the correct course?
The Reawakening of my Life
In 2012 and late 2011 my life devolved into a pit of despair as I went through my final struggles before admitting I had a problem. It is somewhat more of a male thing to hide weakness, one possible reasons, but truthfully it was the guilt and shame that kept my mouth closed. Then too…… Continue reading The Reawakening of my Life
Happy New Year 2017

(five years in April 2017) There’s this large group that helped me move through the swamp and miasma that hid…… Continue reading Happy New Year 2017
Forgivenes
It is not a simple thing, and antipathy, anger, hatred and humiliation heavily outweigh forgiveness as a force for the good. In some parts of the world instead of forgiveness we have a stone box holding in the anger and shame, too often followed by the death of a daughter or sister who has been seen…… Continue reading Forgivenes
From HRT to New Years
The fall of 2013 was a busy time after I started HRT. Let’s start with the effects of HRT, and I’ll talk about that to more recent minor changes. HRT Changes To start with, remember that this is my timeline and yours could be very different. It would have been great if things happened quicker,…… Continue reading From HRT to New Years
Fear and Doubt
Most of the time I manage pretty well, stay calm and collected, and provide what I hope is decent advice to you, who are going through this, and those close to you who seek to understand your pain and anguish. All the while dealing with their own pain and heartache. Never lose track of that.…… Continue reading Fear and Doubt
