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 […]
My 20 year high school reunion was in September 2018 and I was going. I wanted to go. I was excited to go. I had missed the 10 year reunion on some other stuff that we’ll probably never cover here. <long story short: haters> Just kidding, I don’t really know why I missed it but […]
This is an absurd, hurtful, ignorant statement to make. PERIODT. To me, it doesn’t matter the situation or issue being discussed. It’s a problem that has plagued “church kids” for decades. How do I know? Because that’s how I was raised. In church all the time it felt like. I remember when I moved to […]
The single most important thing I can tell anyone that is transitioning, considering transitioning or struggling with their gender is: It is 100% ok to be exactly who you are. If the people in your life won’t tell you – I will and I am. You deserve to be happy – you deserve to live […]
I thought of three things that will happen, may surprise you and even potentially annoy you while you’re transitioning. These things have happened to me and will likely happen to you – maybe not in the exact same way but in some form or fashion. The Voice This one is hilarious and terrible. When your […]
Let’s get right into it. Wondering what it’s like when you take Testosterone, or as us users call it, T. Just kidding, I still just call it Testosterone or hormones for that matter. It’s a rollercoaster the first year, that’s for sure and it’s really important to make sure that you are taking the right […]
That’s what the holidays are like to me sometimes. A bunch of small transactions you make sure to have with people to let them know you love them or to catch up or whatever. Those are always going to be the same; a short, random small talk with granddad, five minute pit stop with the […]
