I thought it might be helpful to review some of the process over the last five years. I’m going to include representative posts and some of the better responses I received. For privacy reasons I’ll remove any names. End of June 2012 I find myself in this ungendered state. I was talking to our rabbi…… Continue reading Memories from 2012

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 lie of biological and chromosomal sex
Biology is complex and resistant to neat little boxes with labels. In the debate, i.e. one side spouting unsupportable accusations and the other talking about the medical and biological realities of being trans, the terms biological sex and chromosomal sex are bandied about. Let’s not even start with birth certificates and the issues there. Biological…… Continue reading The lie of biological and chromosomal sex
Orgasm (SRS)
One of the big questions every one of us has is whether we’re going to be able to orgasm after SRS. It’s a valid question for several reasons, but the principal reason is that your whole area down below is getting entirely rearranged. Most surgeons will tell you, or say on their website, that you…… Continue reading Orgasm (SRS)
SRS advice
This is going to cover what might be uncomfortable for some. Stop reading if you don’t want to hear about anatomy. If you read about SRS, what you hear is that the neovagina is dry or at least non-lubricating, i.e. it doesn’t get wet. It’s hard to find good information about how long it’s going…… Continue reading SRS advice

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…
Use our Names and Pronouns Please
Slightly edited from a post I made on Quora: I at times struggle even with my new sex and presentation. I have bad mornings when I think nobody can hear me, see me, or accept me as a woman. I am starting to go to great lengths to not out myself. It turns out it…… Continue reading Use our Names and Pronouns Please
LGBT Parental Rejection
I can’t improve on this post from quora. I’m including it here because not everyone reads Quora. What Makes Parents Reject their Transgender or Gender non-Conforming Children
To those we love and love us
There are different degrees of intimacy in one’s life. Broadly there’s family, friends and community. When we identify ourselves as trans there is an impact on all these people, greater the closer they are to us. Acceptance has little to do with politics or religion, at least in our close circles. Such has been my…… Continue reading To those we love and love us
