My voice has officially started cracking Crazy!

I found these videos from Jaden (kaynesworld on YouTube) forever ago, and have re-watched them over and over several times over the last few months. They’ve provided a LOT of comfort as I face coming out to my mom (and the rest of my family)…

When i was little I loved to climb trees and play in the dirt and ride my bike. My BLUE boy’s BMX bike. As I got a little older and my friends started having crushes on the boys in our class, I realized that MY crushes weren’t on those stupid boys that I played with in [...]

I’ve been trying to post for the last week and a half – in fact, I think this post makes a grand total of FIVE attempts. Yeeeeeah, I’ve started and subsequently BAILED on five different topics (don’t worry, they’re saved as Drafts, so maybe they’ll get finished… Eventually.). I really want to write SOMETHING to [...]

I know there are a lot of videos in this series, but wow! There’s so much of Kaden‘s story that I identify with…

Soooo, I haven’t blogged about it yet, (duh) but I started T at the end of last week!!! (I know, right?!? YEA!!!!!) Tonight, sometime around 7pm will mark 6 full days on testosterone! Not sure why it’s taken me so long to get around to writing this. Eh, oh well Without further ado, here are [...]

I’ve already added at [...]

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding [...]

I’m sorry I’ve been M.I.A. lately. I’ve had a busy week — erg, well, mentally busy anyway. I had my second appointment with Therapist 2.0 on Tuesday and now, as luck would have it, I ALSO have an appointment with a trans-friendly gynecologist (ugh, ugh, UGH!) this afternoon — BUT the good news is that [...]

Colors exist in a spectrum. Everyone knows this. In elementary school kids learn about “ROY G. BIV” and the fact that some colors are created from the combination of other colors, beginning with the three primaries:  Red, Blue and Yellow. Simple, right? You mix colors together; you get new, more complicated colors. By the same [...]
