Compliments
Telling me I’m not like “other trans people” is a compliment I enjoy.
Trans
“Trans” encompasses almost anyone who doesn’t identify with the gender assignment given to them at birth. It is the superset term that includes transgender, genderqueer/non-binary, agender, and other individuals who are disagree with their “assigned gender at birth” but refuse to get a sex change. (Whereas “transsexuals” are people who work towards getting, or have underwent, a sex change.)
More than mere gender variance, being trans leads to a condition known as “ gender dysphoria”, where you were born one sex, but wish to live as a member of the other.
Unlike the majority of “trans” people, I believe you have to suffer gender dysphoria and undergo a sex change, a view often called transmedicalism.
What is a Sex Change?
Just like with abortion, insurance should cover sexual reassignment therapies…but with a catch.
A (Transsexual) Man’s Opinion on Abortion
Government has no right to interfere with the right to control your body.
Sports Paradox.
Trans women have no space in professional women’s sports. They have too much of an advantage, even after a sex change.
TransSEXUAL ≠ TransGENDER
Let me clarify as to why I am transsexual, not transgender.
Canned
I dropped “concierge medicine” in favor of seeing a provider who takes my insurance.
Attitudes Between My First and Second Puberties
When I was a teen, it didn’t both me that politicians banned marriage equality. Half a lifetime later, it does.

When a book makes you appreciate where you’ve come from, been, and going.
