Poor information is often worse than no information at all. I watched a YouTube video where a young 20 something woman gave out both good and some bad information. This included some information that is critical for people considering a transition to know, hence the links in the next paragraph. The following link to the…… Continue reading What About Regrets?

Under the surface
We walk and talk, exchange pleasantries. We say the appropriate automatic answers to how are you. We keep up our public face. We do this until we crumble into dust, some into malaise, some into a hospital, a heart attack, suicide. Men more than women but they say depression and anxiety disorders are one of…… Continue reading Under the surface
Truth Stranger than Fiction?
I just returned from a short vacation. The first vacation I’ve taken since I went on medical leave last fall to have SRS on November 9th and from which I return to part time work at the beginning of 2016 and full time work only at the start of March. I truly struggled with what…… Continue reading Truth Stranger than Fiction?
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
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

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

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
On being happy
I would have to say that this is really not a trans subject. This is a paean to the blessings of a good life, and the joy of choosing attainable goals. I only describe my vision of a happy life. Yours may be different. Mine won’t look like this in ten years or maybe it…… Continue reading On being happy
SRS Diary 7/22/16
Note to people who don’t want to hear about surgery, vaginas, scar tissue, dilators, etc. Please go look elsewhere. This will be TMI, you have been warned. First, a little retrospective. I had surgery to feel more aligned and comfortable with my body. Safety in public situations was there and has unfortunately felt even more…… Continue reading SRS Diary 7/22/16
Betrayed by a bit of lace
I was sitting in a chair at Bare Minerals getting made up to try one of their foundations. I’m making the woman who’s doing the make up and another customer laugh. I told the beautician O that I had been to see some one who treats folks like me well, and I knew she knew.…… Continue reading Betrayed by a bit of lace
