Maybe you know this, or maybe you’re about to learn something — being on a ventilator, a machine that does some or all of your breathing for you when you’re critically ill, is BAD for you.

My Transgender Fiancée Fae Is Getting Better

But, man, does she ever look beat

Medium

Those who know me, or have read my recent story, will be aware that Fae, my fiancée of 5 years, is gravely ill once more. (My Transgender Girlfriend Is in a Coma. Again.’) I say ‘once more’, because Fae had been this ill only six months prior.

Writing this over the past week was upsetting, exhausting, cathartic.

Beyond the Sex Blogger Label: Revealing the Rest of Me

For years I only shared the sexy version of my life. This is everything I didn’t share. The truth behind the sex blogger label.

His French business partner back then drove a Citroën. He would always raise and lower the hydraulic suspension just for me, because I loved it so much and laughed like the child I was. Maybe that’s why my father took me along to his business meetings - because I was a total car freak.

He walked away with nothing but broken ribs. Since then, he’s driven Peugeots. He says the French saved his life twice: once as a baby refugee fleeing the Nazis, and once when his BMW fit under that truck. Out of gratitude, he’s owned nothing but Peugeots ever since – though he still liked my Benz.

My husband’s musical memories and mine are worlds apart. I danced to Kiss in discos while he was analyzing Trio’s “Da Da Da” in elementary school music class. Ten years later, our worlds collided – and have been merging ever since.
My father is convinced this BMW saved his life. Years later, after our trips, the roof was shaved off by a truck he slid under.

I was allowed to park the car, and afterward I got ice cream. I can still park like a pro – driving too, of course – though for environmental reasons I’ve reduced driving to an absolute minimum. I experienced the “Neue Deutsche Welle” live as a child, in discos and at parties in Germany and France, when I really should have been doing my homework.
