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...

The "What Could Have Been" Train of Thought

It seems that more and more I find myself looking back at my past and wondering what could have been, what would my life be like if I made different decisions, followed different paths, or even been born in the right body.   I know that it isn’t healthy to dwell on the past too much but I still find it to be an interesting exercise and, mainly due to my cynical nature, these scenarios tend to end on a bit of a downer.   I suspect that everyone has thoughts like this about their lives, in that I’m nothing special, but I do wonder how many people can look back and say that they are grateful for the experiences they have had due to the choices they made, as well as things they had no control over, throughout their life.   One of the big “what ifs” that I tend to think about is, “what if I had been born as a girl in body as well as in mind?”   I imagine what life would have been like growing up and being socialized as female instead of male and I find it really eas...

My Marriage and a Glimpse of the Road Ahead

My marriage is very important to me and I never wanted to do anything that would jeopardize it which is one of the reasons it took me so long to accept the fact that I can’t change what I am.   I am transgender.   I have a spouse who is heterosexual and doesn’t want to be with a woman and that is one of the things that makes this such a complicated issue since I am a transwoman.   I never asked to be this way, I never chose to be this way.   My spouse never chose to marry a transwoman but that’s exactly what she got.   It wasn’t fair to her and it has hurt her which I hate.   If I had known that I would end up where I am now, I’m not sure that I would have gone through with marrying her just the save her from the pain I have caused her but, I didn’t know that then so thinking like that is a little pointless. The thing is, because of me and my foolishness in thinking I could keep this part of me suppressed, I pursued her and as a result, we got into a re...
