Today I wanted to post a picture of my paternal grandmother and myself, and being in an ornery mood I thought I wanted a more unusual Throwback Thursday. Here is me visiting my grandmother at the age of 1 or 2, sometime late 1972 or early 1973 at "Purdy", aka Washington Correct Center for Women … Continue reading Throwback Thursday 7-22-21

Hard recovery is mostly over.
I look back and I notice that the last post I did was the beginning of May, here it is the middle of June and now I am just getting around to posting. I suspect that is because this was a lot harder recovery from surgery the normal. I think it resulted in me having … Continue reading Hard recovery is mostly over.
Surgery Post-Op
Went to post-op yesterday. The fat transfer to my hips/thighs/butt is doing really well. Swelling is gone, we will see how much fat keeps. He said he could have used another liter of fat to finish what he wanted to do. HAHA never wished I was a little fatter before (he stripped everything he could … Continue reading Surgery Post-Op
Funniest Photo of the Surgery (so far)
I haven't taken myself overly serious in a long long time. Before my transition that was because I just didn't care anymore, after my transition I think it is because I have found myself and I don't sweat silly looking things (not to be confused with dysphoria inducing things, that is a different kettle of … Continue reading Funniest Photo of the Surgery (so far)
Day of the Surgery
Well it happened finally, on April 21st I went in and had "waist feminization". This is a fancy way to say I had an Avelar Tummy Tuck due to massive skin left from losing 120+lbs. While the epic Dr. Mangubat was doing that, he liposuctioned all the fat he could and produced 1500ccs of fat … Continue reading Day of the Surgery
PT: 30 Years Today
Just an FYI, Wolsey is ok that in my memories I refer to him as a girl before he transitioned. My writing is a lot more awkward when I tried to change pronouns he used back then. He knows this and is ok with it (like I am ok with him referring to me as … Continue reading PT: 30 Years Today
Macro and Micro in Action
buckle in.... this is a longer post. Last week I received two very obvious acts of aggression towards being transgender. One was a macro aggression, where someone attacked me verbally (and was going towards physical) and the next day the most obvious type of micro aggression. The sad fact is, the micro aggressions bother me … Continue reading Macro and Micro in Action
Dysphoria revisited
I think the last time I directly talked about dysphoria was back in 2019 (and it was face related). I thought it would get better as I was scheduled for major Facial Feminization Surgery. It did go away a lot, the first and second surgeries were awesome. It never went away fully though. The first … Continue reading Dysphoria revisited
A Costly Egg Sandwich
I have a lot of experience with the medical system. Not just my transition, or my physical problems, but also my experience billing for insurance, running a clinic, etc. I have seen all sorts of ridiculousness. Right now in my life there are a lot of doctors beyond just the transition. We are still working … Continue reading A Costly Egg Sandwich
Two wildly different encounters
The last few days have been hectic, and while I haven't left the house much since the Tuesday before Christmas (it is now Sunday after), I had two distinctly different experiences being read as a woman. You heard it right, it seems like twice I have not been clocked, at least not in the beginning. … Continue reading Two wildly different encounters
