I know I promised my first coming out story in this post, but as I began to write it, I found that more exposition was necessary. Anyone who has read even a couple of posts on this blog knows that I have a very...meandering writing style. Some of that is due to its nature of …
On My BFF, pt. 1: Prologue
"You've got to be fucking kidding me." In one of my first posts on this blog, I mentioned that I might eventually write about other people, but only with their permission. Well, Naomi* and I have talked, and after seeing that I have readers that number in the dozens, she has decided that the promise …
Drunken Thoughts, pt. 2
Here I lay, alone in the apartment for the first time in...God, has it been a year? More? Ages. I drank a lot, but less than I might've liked. And it's 4:30 AM. The 27" Sony Trinitron is playing Cowboy Bebop episode 3. It's amazing how good older stuff looks on a high-end CRT through …
On Transition, pt. 2 (and Earliest Trans Memories, pt. 6): My Complicated Relationship w/ My Voice
Look! I added a subtitle to my already-cumbersome blog post naming-scheme. Woo! As of today, I'm about 4.5 months into transition. More people than I can number know that I'm trans at this point, and more people have been told than I know. With only a couple notable exceptions, the response to this has been …
A Letter to My Younger Selves
Dear Younger Mes, There's a lot of you to address, so you're all going to have to wait your turn (I can't believe I'm talking to you all like this). I guess, let's do this chronologically? I dunno, that seems to make the most sense to me. Okay, let's go, then. To my youngest self. …
On Me, pt. 4
I have found that I may be the only transwoman who is into folk metal as a genre. Why? Probably because, for whatever reason, interest in Celtic and Norse language, history, and culture has been adopted by fascists and white supremacists. I hate fascists and white supremacists. I have even begun entering into the quagmire …
On Me, pt. 3
I find it interesting that, one month to the day from my last post, I felt compelled to write another one. Coincidences, and all that. After watching A Star is Born with my ex/bff last night (which includes a very emotional suicide scene), I made the comment that while I could still relate with what was …
On Religion, pt. 1
I've somehow, once again, gone over a month without posting. It's so hard to find the time during the school semester, but this past month has been especially tumultuous, and so it's been even more difficult than usual. At any rate, here I am. I've thought about this particular post for several weeks now, but …
On Hormones, pt. 9
Two days ago, I went to my first doctor's appointment in order to start the process for HRT (hormone replacement therapy). I first asked Jeeves about HRT when I was in perhaps 5th or 6th grade, and I have been reading about it ever since. I have long dreamed of the day I could run …
Drunken Thoughts, pt. 1
I debated adding something like this to my blog, but the whispering call of a couple of cheap bottles of Arbor Mist dictates that I once again strive towards personal honesty. And so herein follows another new category. A rougher category. A less refined category. After a night of drinking wine and playing Smite with …
