In two days I’ll be a divorcee. I’ll say things like “in my first marriage…” and “my ex-husband.” I never anticipated this as a likely outcome to “my first marriage.” I thought we would have been together for the rest of our lives. It’s weird. I’m glad for the divorce, and yet I’m terribly saddened… Read more

Happy TDOV to my fellow community members! 👀🏳️⚧️💖 This year especially I understand the day can feel heavy. So valid. Just existing right now can feel like a struggle, let alone being publicly visible. Whether you wear it as a badge of honor, or it is a truth you know inside and don’t feel safe… Read more

Born in NY in 1938, she was fascinated by technology and astronomy, and in 1955 started her education at MIT.… Read more

It’s been a minute since I’ve checked in. It’s not that there hasn’t been much going on — there has. I’ve been overwhelmed. I’m basically fully recovered from my surgery in August. I have a consultation for my vaginoplasty in a few weeks and I’m stoked. It’s something I’ve wanted my entire adult life. It… Read more

Well, I survived. And I’m so glad I had the surgery. Truly life changing. I would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about it. Gender affirming surgeries are life saving and so important to offer. Today I wanted to write though about the surgery itself, and how I’m feeling during recovery. The… Read more

I’m having my testes surgically removed in 7.5 hours. It’s a little surreal. I have a lot of updates to share, but that’s the biggest. I’m in NYC with my gf, she’s going to be my caretaker. I’m really excited, but also pretty nervous. I’m generally a pretty anxious gal to start with, but this… Read more

Today is my birthday. My body is 36 years old, but Shiloh is 1 year old because it’s my first birthday as me. I’ll be honest, today is hard. I have spent most of the morning crying, reflecting on the difficult path and the costs of walking it that my transition represents. I would never… Read more
