I have to admit, once I realized I had enough blog posts for the semester, I stopped blogging for a bit. It was just too much. I've had a hard time keeping up on what I have to do; let alone what I want to do. I've been working from home since Mid-March. I'm grateful…Read more School’s out for Summer
Non Binary
I have to admit, I am challenged by the non binary as well - I've always identified as binary. I'm trans and binary. I've never doubted I'm male. When I was growing up, I 'passed' as male more often than not, but I was androgynous. I hated being stuck in that mode. (Of course, non…Read more Non Binary
Socialization

Other people were able to "fit into" the assigned social role, perhaps the dysphoria didn't impact them as young as it did me.…Read more Socialization

It's a day to celebrate the lived lives of trans people. I hosted a phone call with my company today. People called in from all…Read more Transgender Day of Visibility
Random thoughts
I have to do random thoughts tonight. The class I'm taking this semester is Digital Cultures. Who the &*$* knew that before the semester was over, we'd all be living in a digital culture? Where our computers and our smartphones are the only things keeping us all connected? It's surreal. A few years ago, I…Read more Random thoughts
Social Distancing
We're all trying to practice social distancing right now, if we are reasonable, responsible, human beings. Some of us are better at it than others. Introverts are happily rejoicing - finally, we're not forced to interact with people all day. Extroverts are trying to figure out how they're going to survive without all of the…Read more Social Distancing
