I am disengaging from any public forum on this, because I have found it violates my rule about engaging with zealots. Zealots are capable of disregarding truth in favor of opinion. There’s a difference between someone who says after a discussion that they still have concerns or don’t agree with a conclusion and one who…… Continue reading An Answer to Transgender Bathroom Access

Boston Medical Center!
This year was to be a banner year for Boston. I had original heard that Dr. Oates at Boston Medical Center had gotten training and was going to start doing MtF reassignment procedures in January, but was disappointed when January came and went. I suppose delays are inevitable. In any case *I* wasn’t waiting – it’s…… Continue reading Boston Medical Center!
Female Anatomy
Sorry gentlemen, no pictures. I know you were hoping to oogle our yonis, but not today. You are excused if you already know where everything is. What I’m finding out is that people are confused about this, and confused about what trans women get or don’t get as part of reassignment surgery. So first a…… Continue reading Female Anatomy
Why I Write
Maybe this is egocentric, maybe this will inspire others to take up a metaphorical pen, or maybe this is meant as an insight to those who’ve valued whatever help I’ve lent them. I’d like to think motives matter, that intent makes a difference. Am I wrong? Is accidental help as useful? I would also like…… Continue reading Why I Write
Abuse of Trans Youth
Suicide Leelah Alcorn, may she rest in peace, left her home in December 2014 after leaving a suicide note on Tumblr and walked into the path of a semi truck on Interstate 71.

North Carolina Boycott – Hypocrisy?
Sometimes it’s interesting to read things that you don’t necessarily agree with. It keeps us intellectually honest. It stimulates our brains. It forces us to question our assumptions about our beliefs and the world. It can make us realize that there isn’t one correct answer but a multitude that depend on your values, faith and…… Continue reading North Carolina Boycott – Hypocrisy?
Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?
I was reading about a five year old going to the Nova school in St Paul. There are a few different articles out there. It isn’t the school’s actions that have me concerned but the reactions of the other parents. We are talking about five year olds here. Their child was being bullied at school…… Continue reading Why is the Bathroom such a big deal?
LG why don’t you support BT?
I’ll start by saying I’m not anti gay or anti gay rights. I’m in favor of everyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, religion, sex or any other criteria that’s been used to oppress people to have equal rights under the law as soon as possible. I also acknowledge that what I’m going…… Continue reading LG why don’t you support BT?
Coming Out
I apologize right up front. I can only talk about my successes and failures and what I’d do differently given the opportunity. This is a story, not advice. I’m still coming out to people. There’s no one right way to do this. No prescription. Everyone’s friends, family, social circles, and jobs are different and call…… Continue reading Coming Out
