My First Trans* Support Group Visit

On Sunday (8/2) I went to a local Trans* support group for the first time via an internet connection (video group). When I started my voice feminization training at a local university, one of the first things suggested to me by the supervising speech pathologist was to go to a local support group. Previously, my […]

I Have A New Provider

I had a most wonderful visit with a new provider—A psych provider. She is a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The reason why I am seeing her is specifically to get a letter of recommendation from a competent mental health provider for vaginoplasty surgery. WPATH’s Standard of Care (SOC) recommendations for this surgery includes two letters from […]

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

This day has been mind blowing. I am on gender cloud 9 x 9. In order of appearance: I saw my roommates presenting as woman for the first time. I am rarely there because I am practically over my girlfriend’s 24/7, but I went to pick up my new picture state ID card. The card […]

Earning It

Okay, on one of the trans sites I belong to there was a poll asking if you woke up as the opposite sex would you love it or hate it? I vote yes to love it. I also commented that to have female primary sex parts without surgery would be good. After some more thought […]

Transgressive: A Trans Woman on Gender, Feminism, and Politics by Rachel Anne Williams. [This review was originally going to appear on goodreads. but it exceeds the character limit, and I don’t feel like editing it down. So I am posting it here on my blog, which I had thought of doing anyway because of nature […]

I am Now Female

I am now a female. Well, according to the state of Maryland’s Motor Vehicle Administration. Yesterday (6/29/20) I had my gender marker changed on my state ID card. Actually the ID says Sex: “F.” The process was like easy breezy. You need no medical certificate to make the change. Just declare your new gender. I […]

An OMG Times Infinity

That is oh my goodness. I made a phone call to a transgender surgery center today after finding out the closest surgeon doesn’t except my insurance. They only work with my secondary, and they won’t accept it the because of the primary, something about state rules. Initially, I was devastated. Every other emotion was just […]

I Became Stephie

Wasn’t I her along. Deep deep inside it may have been, but I was not aware of it. My memories are so fuzzy growing up it is hard to recall my gender feelings. Some gurls know from very early on. Some have memories of dressing in gurly clothes as a kid. Well I don’t and […]
