The Trangender Day of Visibility 2018 - Ask Me Anything About Being Transgender


March 31 is the Transgender Day of Visibility for 2018 and in light of that, I want to do something a little different.  On March 31, I am going to answer any questions about being transgender that anyone out there wants to ask me, to the best of my ability.  You can ask me on Facebook or you can ask in the comments section on this page.  I will take the questions asked and edit this post to show both the question and my reply.  I am hoping to get few questions at the very least but I am hoping for more seeing as I tend to get about 20 views per post on average.  So, without further delay, here I am, ask away.

It has been quite some time...

It has been quite some time since I have posted anything to this blog so I figured I would give a bit of an update...  I am coming up on 3 years on HRT and have changed my name legally now.  My spouse and I are still together though our relationship isn't quite the same as it was, nor will it ever be again, I am just honored to still have her in my life and to have her love and support.  My family is a different story.  I don't think I will ever talk to my mother again, at least not unless she can get off her high horse and admit that she fucked up.  She wants to blame me and accuse me of making the choice to leave the family while she was the one constantly implying that she had rather I died than be trans.  She kept crossing the line I told her not to cross and I gave her multiple chances because of the simple fact that I love her and she is my mother.  Eventually she pushed too far and told me "this is goodbye" one too many times so, I ga...

On the Subject of Family

I haven’t really spoken to my mother that much since the post where I touched on the fact that I was molested as a child.   If you will recall, in that post I stated that “…and I don’t want to name them either because this person is no longer alive and I don’t want to cause their family pain.   I have never told anyone else the identity of this person and that information will go with me to my grave because enough pain has been caused by their actions, there is no need to cause more.” And I still stand by that statement which is one of the reasons I believe that she has completely avoided me since I told her that I didn’t want to tell her the name and that I wouldn’t until I was ready.   You see, after that post, I got an email from her demanding that I tell her who the individual was that molested me and despite my attempt to compromise and give her a description instead of a name she doubled down and I had to give her a firm “No” because I am not ready to tell anyone ...

My Decision About the Blog

To the few people out there that read this blog, after my next post (the ask me anything post, assuming I have any questions to answer) I am planning on shutting it down, at least for the time being.   I may occasionally put a new post up here or there but considering that there really is no point behind this blog anymore now that I am no longer talking to my mother and I never hear from my brother so I don’t know where I currently stand with him, I will only post something when I feel I really need the outlet. I was really hoping that in doing this blog I could give the people who have been so important to me throughout my life a better understanding about where I’m coming from and why I am transitioning but, you just can’t make some people care enough to see past their own insecurities.   As long as they are hung up on their own crap there is no way they will see that I am doing this because it is what I have to do, nor will they see the improvement that beginning this j...
