What’s in the name? I’ll claim a good deal of confusion, Transgender, as a term, encompasses a wide variety of behaviors and degrees of accommodation. All these have in common is that they are variants to the “normal” gender binary. A person can be trans and not have made any transition, or they could be…… Continue reading Transgender?

Oh, the Youth,,,
I could be Plato cursing drunken revelers or a modern parent wondering where their child is ninety minutes past your agreed on curfew time. The constant is that despite the surface accoutrements like a wine bottle or a cellphone, the behaviors being complained about haven’t really changed. Roudy teenagers all. As is usual I’m going…… Continue reading Oh, the Youth,,,
Regrets
Sometimes we pretend to have no regrets in taking the extreme steps we’ve needed to take to live and hopefully prosper. These thoughts come to me in a bit of a funk — par for the course between depression and Parkinson’s. I think my transition has been very successful. I think little about my gender…… Continue reading Regrets
Failure follow up
I’m fairly convinced that doing nothing is this best course. My surgeon pointed out there are plenty of sexual thinks to do without a vagina or without one that has the capacity to take a penis. He also warned that regardless of who does a repair that there’s a serious risk of a fistula, hardly…… Continue reading Failure follow up
Failure
I kept hoping—and hoping that my vagina would turn a corner and start expanding. I’ve been dilating even now, five years after my surgery on a daily basis. All in the hope to get it large enough to accommodate those things one should accommodate. I measured the depth this morning. Not even up to the…… Continue reading Failure
Do you need to be gender dysphoric
I’m not a static person and don’t have static views. Every time I read a post from someone it has the potential to evolve my own views. I only consider myself an expert in my own personal experiences, not other’s. When people have asked me if gender dysphoria is an essential part of being trans…… Continue reading Do you need to be gender dysphoric
Transsexual is the word?
I’ve slowly come to the conclusion that I can’t call myself transgender because the term has become too inclusive. Cross dressers and drag queens are often considered transgender. People who have no desire to live in their identified gender are considered transgender. It’s all becoming a madhouse between that and people making up fanciful but…… Continue reading Transsexual is the word?

The Delegalization of being Transgender in America
Here in Massachusetts, back in 2016, a final comprehensive bill was passed by a supermajority of the legislature that gave transgender people equality of access to all public venues. These didn’t just include the often derisive bathrooms and locker rooms but such places as restaurants, public transit, shopping centers, in other words any place a…… Continue reading The Delegalization of being Transgender in America
Why People Rarely Change Their Minds
People keep asking this on Quora, presumably out of a morbid fascination of the assumed sense of dread that person would feel. Oh my god what have I done. In fact it would be very dire, and I am truly empathetic for the extremely few people who have managed to get to that position. The…… Continue reading Why People Rarely Change Their Minds
