Three years on testosterone 17 May 2013 | 06:45 am
I’m nearing my third year on testosterone, and although I could say “three years have gone by so fast!”, it wouldn’t be true. I feel like I’ve lived a whole lifetime since starting T — not necessarily...
“Coming out” on a date 22 Apr 2013 | 05:05 am
This weekend, for the first time, I went on a date with a guy who didn’t know I was trans. We met on facebook –where we had several trans and trans-friendly friends in common– and he was super cool ab...
PSA: Safer gay sex for trans men 11 Apr 2013 | 06:30 am

On a more positive note 27 Dec 2012 | 09:42 pm
When I wrote my last post I was feeling really down, but during the past few months I’ve been feeling much better so I owe you an update. The last you heard of me, I was all “oh noez, no man will ever...
Feeling undesirable 4 Sep 2012 | 09:24 am

The weight of a name change 20 Jul 2012 | 06:58 am
Argentina’s gender identity law went live over a month ago but I still haven’t changed my legal name and gender. I needed time to mull over the decision and do a little mourning, though I think I’m fi...
