(I’m taking this excuse/opportunity to be a sap and let you know how much you’re appreciated. This blog wouldn’t be complete without some obligatory holiday post.) To all my old readers: I’m glad you’re still here! Your encouragement and enthusiasm fuels my efforts and keeps me going. To all my new readers: Welcome! Poke around and feel free to post your ideas, ask questions, and … Continue reading Happy New Year!
I Won! This blog was nominated for the Liebster Award! (Thanks Just Another WW – now go check out her blog.) The best part about being nominated is that you automatically win. The Liebster works more like a Chain mail/post, where the nominee then bestows the honor to 5 other blogs, and thus the love is passed along. The catch is that the blogs should … Continue reading Liebster Award!
I’m back from break. Why did it take so long to come back? Well, I could say I’ve been busy. But then naturally you’d ask, busy with what? In which case I have to admit I haven’t really been all that busy. I’ve given up trying to fight the winter blues so instead I’ve embraced hibernating in the house on weekends and catching up on … Continue reading Back
I’m going to put the blog on a small hiatus. It’s been over 8 months of constant blogging, and I’ve finally run out of steam. That plus life and fun getting happily in the way (like a new job and an upcoming vacation!) have prevented me from generating a steady stream of posts. For now. Worry not, I have lots more planned for when I … Continue reading Break
On my seventh-month post-op day (Sept 24), I paid a visit to the very friendly folk at Dimensions Clinic, the health clinic for transgender and queer youth. I asked the wonderful Dr about my hypertrophic scars, and brought up the idea of cortisone injections, since she had already mentioned it last time. Next thing I know I’m lying on the examination table getting pricked by … Continue reading Top Surgery Update: Scars
Since I posted the not-so-comprehensive LGBTQIA Book List, I’ve done a fair amount of reading, and more excitingly, discovering. Here’s a rundown of all the new books I’ve come across that are definitely worth looking into. (Note that I’ve added the new ones to the soon-to-be-comprehensive LGBTQIA Book List.) I am J, by Cris Beam J is a half Jewish, half Puerto Rican, FTM transgender … Continue reading LGBTQIA Books Update
This is the continuation to Testosterone, part 1 (cause this is part 2, and it comes after 1). The Ideal If I could have it my way, I would definitely love to masculinize my body, but only slightly. As a gender-neutral / neutrois person, I feel averse to most effects, but also wish that some of the things that give me away as “female” would … Continue reading Testosterone, part 2
The Curiosity For the past few weeks I’ve been doing a bit of research regarding testosterone. I don’t know what prompted this seemingly sudden interest in T, but perhaps this lingering curiosity is a telltale sign of something else. The Basics Here’s a testosterone primer for those in the not-know. (Note: There are a lot more resources that explain this much more in depth, which … Continue reading Testosterone, part 1
If you’ve been paying attention at all, you may have noticed there have not been any posts of substance for about one month. Contrast this with the previous steady stream of 1-4 posts a week and you might wonder if something is up. And yeah, you might be right. New Job Remember that new group of people I was talking about a few weeks back? … Continue reading Notable Absence
Having hit almost 75 posts, I compiled a list of the top 10 posts from this blog. “Top” was defined by me to be most viewed posts of all time. Pages were excluded, so the About page, while awesome and popular, doesn’t count, but you should still read it. And as much as I wanted to just pick my favorites and leave it at that, … Continue reading Top 10
