How Transitioning Has Taken Over My Life

Actually, it began before I started to live my life as a woman. Even before I fully identified as a woman. I remember during the four years of exploring my femininity before identifying as a woman how I look forward to every chance I could get to get dressed up and explore my body sexually.† […]

Legal Name Change is on Its Way

Well, I have been contemplating making a legal name change for some time. It wasn’t a priority when I first started transitioning last July. I guess the stimulus for thinking about it was the stronger dysphoria over having to use my birth name at times after I started cross hormone treatment in April. I say […]

A Quadruple Play

4 Strikes Against Me and Proud of It

I belong to four groups that are socially stigmatized (or worse). That’s right I belong to four different groups that are thought less of as people in a good many of American minds.
