Another article that I've had sitting, waiting, for some time.

Finding my own space
This is a story, essentially, about finding your own identity as a trans person, and how our marriages can complicate that journey. It's also a story about widowhood, and the very similar struggle for identity that many of us experience. I hope people can relate.

Ok, this article's been on the back burner for a very long time. I've been a little worried to publish because it does tear down a widely-accepted trans belief, but I think it's important to talk about.

The right hormones
Is it accurate to talk about brains being "designed to run on" either estrogen or testosterone? Can this explain what we feel as trans people? Or are there problems in that theory? Your fave tater shares their thoughts...

After a very understandable hiatus, I finally bring you a story of letting go of unachievable and self-destructive dreams, and embracing the reality of #transition. I hope it resonates with some of you!

I've written an article on the relationship between grief and hope, and how each effect change. Dedicated to my darling Cassie-cat. 🥲

What happens when your egg cracks, but you can't reconcile it with society's prejudices? A tale of two decades of denial, fear, coping mechanisms, and eventual acceptance.

Writing time! But it's not the one that's been sitting with me for weeks, but rather a quickie that I wrote mid-flight.

Something that I've talked about a couple of times already on Fedi: how transitioning led to a newfound fear of flying. With bonus reminiscences, and mild terror.

And yes, I really did write a large chunk of this in real time, which was a fun challenge.

I've been writing again! This is a story I've been wanting to tell for ages, despite it involving the darkest thoughts and moments of my life. It's about the time I time-traveled in order to save my life.

(Or that's one way of looking at it, at least.)

Huge bold font blinking content warnings for suicidal ideation on this one!

I've been writing again! Huge warnings on this one-- it's all about my religious beliefs and loss thereof, and coping with that.

I feel nervous sharing this article because it's very personal, I've never fully talked about it before, and I know it the subject is divisive to say the least, but I hope it might resonate with somebody out there!

It's done! My latest article started as an old Reddit meme, took a long journey through various takes on gender dysphoria, and ended up on a shout of indignation.

I hope I've done the topic justice, and I hope you enjoy reading it. 😊
