Today I had the opportunity to speak to an amazing group of people and share my story. This blog is the written portion of my presentation, slightly modified to fit this format. AS HE SAID, MY NAME IS LAYNE INGRAM AND IT REALLY IS A SURREAL FEELING TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO A GROUP […]
Is “cringey” a word? I do not know about the rest of you, but I dislike moments that make me cringe so much. Like, with a strong, hard passion. When you are Trans and transitioning, there are many, many cringeworthy moments that will occur. I’m dealing with one right now from an old image that […]
Dear Trans Kids, First, let me start off by saying that I’m so proud of you. And a bit jealous of your self-knowledge at such a young age. The courage and bravery you have and will continue to develop just from being born you is off the charts. It takes both of those things to […]
I’ve been struggling with what to write about – not for lack of topics but because of all the things that have been flying around in my head over the past year, past few months, weeks, minutes really. I feel like my mind is going non-stop all the time. At a moment in our lives […]
The beautiful thing about blogging is that you can always start again. I wish that I was better at making time for this; it’s something that I’ll work on in 2021. I thought in March of this year that I would be blogging like crazy because I’d be working remotely and would have more time, […]
I haven’t written in almost a year. That’s disappointing but now, like most everyone else, I feel like I have more space and time. That’s not a great excuse because we make time for the things that matter; or rather, we should. But, I digress. 2019 was interesting to say the least; I think I […]
Transitioning is a journey. So far, mine has been great and awful and wonderful and terrifying. It’s been 2 1/2 years since I started and I’m the same but so different. It’s not always easy but it gets better, you get stronger because everyday you get closer to really being you. Patience with yourself and […]
I was working in my Google Drive this morning looking for a video for work and I happened upon this document called: Life in the Wrong Layne. It was from December 2017. I was supposed to write a blog today about How To Be Confident in Who You Are – I’ve decided to share this […]
I watched this show for the first time last night. This was the end of the third episode and this was a difficult scene to watch. I think most people would be affected by a scene like this because it shows rejection and pain. It’s a bold scene, especially being portrayed by a black family. […]
I’ve been taking testosterone for two years now. Now is when I should actually start to really look different; I know that, I’ve known that since I started this process. That knowledge did not stop me from seeing changes daily, weekly and monthly. It didn’t stop me from my belief that I was DEFINITELY looking […]
