Hi Everyone, As many of you know that follow my blogs, I’ve talked about the support I’ve had from my kids and wife on my transition. Well, a while back I had asked my son if he would mind writing something from his own perspective on the news of me being transgender. He told me [...]

I just came across this article, which struck me both for the personal connection between writer and subject (as twins) and for the complete open-mindedness and lack of judgement in it. My twin brother, Eli, is jealous of sea horses. They are the only animal species in which the male gives birth to the offspring. [...]

Here is something I wrote on my personal blog, it is something I felt was important and needed to be shared here as well. I have been thinking about children and transition again. I wrote about this before after I had read a blog post suggesting that not telling our children right away can be [...]

Here is something I wrote on my personal blog. I thought I would share it here as well, a few of my thoughts on transition and courage. I believe, as a community, we display unparalleled courage and conviction. It is part of what carries us through, and it is this community that helps prop us up when [...]

This is a blog entry from my personal blog. Lori had suggested I cross post this entry here. I am glad that she suggested that, it has been some time since I posted here. Thanks for the suggestion Lori, and the wonderful comments. I felt compelled to write about a topic that is rather close [...]

That’s what keeps cycling through my thoughts as I get deeper into the “trans land of no return”. In the last few weeks there’s been a series of small but significant things that I’ve done for, or with, my transition progress that I can’t “take back”.

Having reviewed “Transvestite Wives” earlier, I felt it was only fair to give a similar treatment to “My Secret Female Body”, another in the ‘Reveals’ series that premiered on BBC America on June 22, 2008. This documentary focused on a twenty two year old transman, Danny. From the BBC America web site: Born as Katie, [...]

Mom ended up asking me to send the letter, anyway, but, I had scrapped the original this morning, and ended up sending this instead. Sorry, but I am not going to send that letter. But I will say this much…. The fact that (brother) and I are at odds is because of his actions and [...]

Note: this blog was in part inspired by Helen G’s blog Pregnant man is pregnant which I did reply to. I did use that reply as a basis for this post. But as usual I had more to say. I watched the 20/20 episode on Thomas Beatie tonight (thank goodness for DVR) and I have [...]
