A big part of transitioning for me (and by all accounts, for everybody else) is changing one’s name. It’s fairly simple: if I want to live as a girl, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to do it with a boy’s name. Since I wasn’t fortunate enough to be born with an androgynous […]
Not too long ago, I mentioned that a friend of mine went to the effort of recording an audio version of Morning Star for me. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure what to do with it. She gave me full permission to use it in whatever way I chose, or not at all. An offer […]
6/6 is getting closer and closer to being finished. Yay! Thing is, I never planned on actually calling it 6/6. That’s just a working title. I need something better, and I’m turning to you. I know, I know, you don’t know a damn thing about it. Maybe you read that story at the end of […]
It has been almost exactly one month since I started HRT. It’s been a reasonably low dose, and a month is not a long time. Even still, as part of my efforts to share this journey and chronicle the transition, I thought I’d write a short post letting you know what changes I’ve experienced.
First of all, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, something incredibly not clever about zombie Jesus- no wait that’s Easter. Never mind. So on and so forth. It’s that time of year, like it or not, so yeah. Enjoy it. What are you doing this year? I’ll be spending most of my energy avoiding my extended family, who […]
Wow, has it really been four months? Feels like only a week. Read part 1 and part 2 first. It didn’t back then, though. About a fortnight before my first interview, I started freaking the fuck out, overwhelmed by anxiety and uncertainty. I had no idea what to expect. Well, that’s not true. I had […]
So, it’s been a week, both within the story I am telling, and also in real life, since my last post. How does waiting a week for the chance to find something like this out? Try to imagine now that this is the information that could and probably will change your life. I called again. […]
I get a lot of questions in my personal life from people curious about the transition process. Good natured, usually; this information, whilst not completely inaccesible, is buried pretty deeply, and even people who need to know often find it difficult to get what they need. I know I certainly had a hard time. Of […]
It’s been a while since my last post, and I feel like it’s probably worth spending a bit of time talking about something. More specifically, Morning Star has been out for about six months now, and I wanted to talk about the protagonist, Alex. If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you do that […]
Despite my original plans, it seems like Child of Time won’t actually be free everywhere, since Amazon won’t let me set the price lower than 99c. I’ll see what I can do about changing it later, but for now, that’s what it’s set at. I don’t really mind that so much. 99c isn’t a lot […]
