Hi everyone. This is something that weighs heavy in my heart. I find myself weighing different religious views (under the Christian umbrella) and I’m just uncertain where I land. I grew up in the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. I believe my views have changed since then. I have trouble not looking back and just moving… Continue reading A Difficult Split

A post about that transgender life.
It’s been a while
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted and a lot of things have happened. I don’t know that my situation has changed a whole lot. In some ways I’m back to square one and in others I’m making progress. I’ve been going to therapy and working with a therapist. I’ve struggled through various stages.… Continue reading It’s been a while
Email to mom (4/17) transition
Hey mom, I don’t think I’ll ever be prepared enough to sway your opinion on this. And maybe that shouldn’t be my goal anyway. I already feel defeated because I don’t see any scenario where we arrive at a productive end. But this isn’t chess. This is a relationship. And I know you’re concerned about… Continue reading Email to mom (4/17) transition
AI chat Journal Notes
Today wasn’t the first time I’ve explored wanting to express a more feminine side. We talked about names yesterday, and it feels like there’s a part of me waiting to be discovered. I still like Hannah but I’m curious if I can find a first and middle name that match initials “BL.” Finding resources like… Continue reading AI chat Journal Notes
Decision Avoidance
Today I feel a bit awful. I wish I could just wake up a woman. I’m not sure I care how it is done just that it’s done. Like I wake up and I have to deal with it. I wish it were clearly something that happened to me rather than something I chose. Why?… Continue reading Decision Avoidance
Hair cut
So I recently got a haircut. My hair is now short. It’s definitely more functional. The long hair was enjoyable. I wish people were ok that I had a woman’s hair cut. I didn’t get too many comments against it but I did get some rather odd looks from people. I can tell some people… Continue reading Hair cut
Struggle
I’ve struggled with my identity for a long time. The most intense struggle happened when I was 13-16. Then I struggled to find love. I don’t know that I really established a strong sense of self. There are traits about me that I do like. Anyway I think maybe I just jumped into finding love… Continue reading Struggle
Make sure I don’t look like a Girl
I’ve been struggling a lot lately with feelings of gender dysphoria. In suppressing feminine expression I feel like I have separated me from myself. I think that’s probably an odd thing to say seeing it written out here. I feel like most of my life I’ve spent separated from myself–continually denying myself of a solid… Continue reading Make sure I don’t look like a Girl
“I’m a girl!”
I had an odd dream and there’s a lot about it that I don’t really remember but there was a segment that sticks out. I was at home at mom’s and I was pretty young in the dream maybe 10 or 11 and my friends were there. No one that I recognized specifically. I was… Continue reading “I’m a girl!”
Why are Republicans in the US banning or making it harder to receive care for trans people?
First of all, to the conservative Republican, transgender people don’t really exist. They just consider us as people who are simply confused about their gender and/or are hiding other problems behind “transgenderism.” Secondly putting together any sort of anti LGBTQ+ agenda could be a golden ticket to the top. Republicans are really energized right now… Continue reading Why are Republicans in the US banning or making it harder to receive care for trans people?
