As I mentioned in Part 1 of my year-end/year-start exhaustive book list-turned-reviews, this is quite long. At least I saved the better part for later, or however that saying goes. At this point, it’s worth mentioning that there is going to be a Part 3 as well, so brace yourselves. These have also been added to the ever-growing up-to-date LGBTQIA Reading List. LGBTQ-themed Fiction (YA … Continue reading Yearly LGBTQ Book Review, Part 2
Since it’s the New Year, people like to cop out of writing real blog posts by compiling a list. And I’m no different than the general population, except for the fact that I hardly cop out of writing a post because it ends up being something with substance anyway. So, here’s a list of the books I read last year (or as best I can … Continue reading Yearly LGBTQ Book Review, Part 1
As I mumbled to the good doctor over at Dimensions “and one more thing I want that prescription please” she chuckled. She probably wasn’t laughing at me… actually maybe she was, since she said “Oh, we’re there already?” After the quizzical look I gave her she clarified, “I’m just surprised it took you this long.” Yeah, it’s been a long time coming, but we all … Continue reading T&T
Dysphoria can strike in different modalities: some of us experience physical discomfort with our bodies, while for others the distress is in social recognition of our gender. Continue reading Reader Ramblings: Physical and Social Dysphoria
(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
