War against Self

Content Warning: Transphobic post. There’s a war raging on in me. A war against my self. I don’t know which part of “self” is more authentic. Is it the one that I find during introspection–the one that emerges when doing soul seeking? The one that has always put herself last and is sick of it?… Continue reading War against Self

Gender

I’m starting to think of things with gender as though there are different axis (gosh is that the plural? or is it axes? chop chop). I have no idea what they should be but I think there’s identity (how do you relate to yourself on a mental/psychological level? what identity resonates for you?), there’s body… Continue reading Gender

Hello Hannah

So yesterday I played GTA Online with a bunch of my brother’s friends (one of my friends was there as well but pretty sure the distinction isn’t really necessary). One of his friends called me by my dead name and then followed up with “I’m sorry” then from there on out corrected and called me… Continue reading Hello Hannah

Meta Study Finds Possible correlation between Gender Identity and Autism?

So the goal of this video is not to say that if you are Autism that you have issues with Gender Identity nor does it say that if you struggle with your Gender Identity that you are Autistic.

Does everything have a problem?

Normal life I guess. Emotions: Overwhelmed, Stressed, Ashamed, Guilty, Remorseful, Depressed, Discouraged, Deflated, Hurt, Lonely, Excluded,… Continue reading Does everything have a problem?

Rehash

I don’t want to transition as a means to solve a problem. I want to transition as a means to connect to myself. I don’t want to transition because the grass is greener on the other side. I’m thinking the grass is probably frozen. I think I would rather be able to dance in the… Continue reading Rehash

Euphoric Haircut

I got a haircut on Saturday was probably one of the most euphoric experiences in my life lol. I told him that I wanted something feminine and that I wanted to grow it out. And he mentioned giving it shape which sounded like what I was looking for. After my haircut another hairdresser complimented my… Continue reading Euphoric Haircut

Confused?

I am too. I wish I could wake up in some other universe where I’ve always been a woman. I know it’s stupid, and maybe not healthy to keep thinking about. Motivations for this thought are probably how unwilling some are to accept transgender women as women. Or how I would have to risk my… Continue reading Confused?
