Here’s the thing about hormones: your body needs them. And while I was not completely without, I had (have?) way fewer than I should. I learned a lot about myself throughout this experience, which is good, I think. Though, what I learned wasn’t all good. I suffer from depression, a trait common among those with …
On Hormones, pt. 3
I swear, I am trying to truncate this story as much as possible. Let’s skip ahead a bit. Eventually, I told both my girlfriend and my parents. Thankfully, I have been blessed with the best examples of each possible, and they were nothing but utterly supportive when I told them what I did. What I …
On Hormones, pt. 2
Okay, so I mowed the yard. I set up the appointment. And finally, I went to see my doctor. I was much more open with the doctor than I had been my parents. I told him about my urination, and asked to have that checked out. But then, I asked him about my breast growth. …
On Hormones, pt. 1
This post might be a bit longer, as I’m not really sure how I can break it up. Or maybe not; won’t know until I finish it. A couple of years ago, I was just about to turn 25. Thus, two things: you now know my age, and the time was counting down until I would …

Earliest Transgender Memories, pt. 1
I mentioned in my first blog post that my desire to be female goes back just about as far as I can remember. While this was particularly amplified during puberty, upon reflection, I can remember a few prepubescent incidents that might have alluded to my future struggles. I don't really want this blog to be utterly …
On Me, pt. 1
Two posts in one day? This must be the start of a new journal...no way that I will keep this pace. Turns out this is all I want to do for now, and because my last post was a general introduction, this one will be more specifically about me. So who am I? I'm from a …
The road goes ever on and on…
Let’s not bury the lede. I am writing this blog because I, at the very least, have gender dysphoria. Frankly, I already know that I am writing this blog because I am finally willing to admit that I know what I am—transgender. Whatever the future may hold for me, I figure this blog will help …
