Neck Surgery

I recently had neck surgery for the third time. There was one little big! difference—my label, which goes on all the forms, uses an “F” to mark my sex: NAME: W*******, STEPHIE IACT#: 18362SEX: FDOB: 06/17/59AGE: 62DR: MOSKOWITZ,NATHANDOS: 03/25/22MD I actually didn’t realize this until several days of being home. But it was a psychological […]

My First Hair Trim

Yay! So, my hair had grown quite a bit as you might imagine as it had been growing for about 2 1/2 years. The day that will live in infamy is September 18, 2021. That is the day I had my first hair trim since I came out to my partner (Bette) in the spring […]

Celebrating Two Years of Transitioning

On Saturday (July 10, 2021) I celebrated two years of transitioning. Yay! Like my one year transitioning transversary I did it at Bonefish Grill. For awhile I was thinking about not celebrating it. Like the waiter at the one year one celebration said “you never get a second first year.” But, then I said, ‘hey, […]

My Transversary Celebration of One Year on HRT

I will start and say this was the third transversary I have celebrated. All of them at Bone Fish Grill. The first two were My One Year Mark of Transitioning Celebration and Stephie’s Two Year Birthday Celebration. One year of transitioning was the first. My two years as Stephie was the second, and perhaps the most important […]

I Have Seen It with My Own Eyes

Stephie’s Two Year Birthday Celebration

Well, Stephie’s been alive for 2 years, and she is feeling great. So this past Tuesday (10/10/20) marked the 2 year anniversary of having fully recognized myself as a woman. There had been thoughts about it before, but this date marks a complete break from any previous gender identity I may have been carrying around […]

Legal Name Change is on Its Way

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 […]

My One Year Mark of Transitioning Celebration

Okay, yesterday (July 10th) was an extremely exciting day for me. It was one year since I came out to my therapist officially beginning my transition to live my life fully as a woman. Well, I believe I have accomplished much in this one year. I have been socially living as a woman since January. […]

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.
