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 […]
There were a few questions people asked all of the time when I came out: “How do you know?” “How can you think you’re not a girl?” “Are you sure?” “What if you miss your breasts?” “When is the first time you remember feeling like something wasn’t right?” “How is your family with it?” <———- […]
When I came out publicly as trans in our local paper, the writer started off the article with a story I told him about the first time I used the men’s restroom in public. That part on its own drew criticism from close-minded people. Here is the excerpt from the article: LANSING — Lansing Community […]
It’s not easy being trans. It’s not even easy to call myself trans. I really just want to be me. It doesn’t seem fair that finally getting to be me also means that I have to wear another label. Or be in a category – worry about being seen as weird. Before I was “normal” […]
Look – I already know that I’m ridiculous. Especially when it comes to not feeling well. I Google everything. This one takes the cake though. I started T on February 24, 2017 – for the first few months, (days really) I would look at myself in the mirror and swear I saw something different about […]
