First off, I can’t believe it’s been 5 months. It seems like such a long time ago; I can’t imagine my body any other way – even if it did used to be different, it feels so natural now it’s hard to believe that it was different. It also seems like such a short time, because I have many many many years ahead in my … Continue reading Top Surgery Update: 5 Months Post-Op
She Recently I have the elusive opportunity to “start over” with an entirely new group of people. I’ve already been introduced by my not-so-temporary shortened name, which doesn’t seem to fool anyone – they always ask if it’s short for “feminine name” and then comment on how it’s a strange way of shortening it. I’ve also been introduced as, or assumed to be, “she.” But … Continue reading Not Trans Enough
Celebrate! This blog has hit a major milestone: 250 comments! It’s an arbitrary number that looks arbitrarily large, so it sounds like a good enough excuse to celebrate! Share! I love hearing people’s thoughts – in fact, if I had a super power it would be mind-reading (among other things). In lieu of that, why don’t you share your thoughts voluntarily? That’s right, post a … Continue reading Comment Party!
Welcome! It seems that time has caught up with me, and it’s now my turn to host the monthly Carnival of Aces here at Neutrois Nonsense. First off, “a blog carnival is an event in which many people write blog posts around a single theme.” You can read more about this particular carnival (and its history) at Sciatrix’s Masterpost, which includes previous and future hosting … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Call for Submissions
I recently added an Ask box to the blog – you might want to check it out! Question I was looking for FTN pictures on google and came across this, so I’m sorry if you’ve already answered (I haven’t read all of your stuff), but how did you go about getting the surgery and was there any other transitioning you did and how? I’m neutrois … Continue reading Reader Ramblings: The Process of Getting Top Surgery
Castro-Mission I live in the Castro-Mission neighborhood in San Francisco. To anyone familiar with the area, you immediately know what kind of neighbors I have. For those who don’t, here’s the rundown. The Castro The Castro is synonymous with Gay. Like, really really gay. It’s the birthplace of Harvey Milk’s movement, as I am reminded when I walk by the famous camera shop, newly occupied … Continue reading Rainbow Tacos
It seems there’s a trend going around where people analyze and comment on the search terms which led inquiring minds to their blog. So I opened up my dashboard one morning and found, suprisingly, exactly what I’ve been looking for (and hopefully they found it too). Search Engine Terms That is, the keywords or phrases people typed in and clicked through to my blog. An … Continue reading Searching (and Finding)
I recently added an Ask box to the blog – you might want to check it out. In the meantime, we have our first brave volunteer, who ignited a long rambling in my head which I’ve concisely bundled into a hopefully coherent rambling here. Question I just was curious as to how you first declared to your family and friends you were neutrois. I am … Continue reading Reader Ramblings: On (Not) Coming Out
For the past few days I’ve been making my way through the interminable list at Mombian.com of all the posts and bloggers that contributed to the Blogging for LGBT families event. I submitted my post at the very last minute, and I’m very glad I did. There were gay families talking about their kids, and about their past or planned wedding (legal and illegal). There … Continue reading Recap: Blogging for LGBT Families 2011
Blogging for LGBT Families Day I read about the 6th Annual Blogging for LGBT Families Day yesterday, and promptly dismissed it since it seemed too late. Plus I don’t have a family, yet… do I? When realized I could still get my submission in today, bam! inspiration hit. Better late than never. Enjoy. Presently Thinking About the Future My significant other and I have been … Continue reading Queerious Questions
