For a lot of people, reassignment surgery is one of the biggest parts of the transition process. For others, it isn’t important at all, or it is but it’s not worth all the hell that goes with it, or it’s just inaccessible. Whatever your feelings on it, if you’re gonna go through it, there’s a […]
Boy oh boy, it’s been a crazy few days weeks months. A whirlwind of psychiatrist appointments, medical tests (five blood tests this week! Two needles, five vials of my precious, delicious blood), ECGs, X-Rays, paperwork, employment stuff. I am exhausted. But I’m also winning, so that’s good. Life, you will not beat me. Go suck a bag of […]
It’s that time again! It’s been three months since I last gave a HRT update, and nine since I started. So, what’s changed? How about boobs? Three months ago, they’d only just begun to become prominent. Now, they have a much more defined boob-like shape, and are up almost a full cup size. So far, […]
It’s been almost exactly six months since I started hormone replacement, and you know what that means. It’s time for another update! Let’s start with the most obvious. Boobs. Booooooooooobs.

I had really hoped I’d never have to write a post like this, but it seems like there’s still a lot of ignorance out there, so here I go. Stop talking about ‘sex changes’. They are not a thing. That is not how it works. Confused? Let me bring you up to speed. There is an […]

1. Every trans person is different. I really, really cannot stress this enough. Every trans person is going to have their own experiences, opinions and feelings. There’s no universal experience and I can’t speak for everyone. I can’t really even speak for most people. What I can do is give you some basics that, hopefully, […]

There’s a lot of challenge involved in transitioning. I need to change a lot about myself (for myself) and all of it requires work. None of it comes easy. Perhaps the most challenging aspect I’m working on changing is my voice. Well, most challenging if you don’t count the months of psychiatric assessment and repeated […]
