Just wanted to say I really relate to how you feel about being a transman. It’s been really awesome to finally come across someone who feels the same way I do about being trans (i.e. just a medical condition that I need to treat with hormones, and surgery). Do you ever get annoyed when people talk about being “proud”, and “thankful” for being trans?

Hey, thanks for the kind words.

It’s pretty crazy that people feel the need to educate others on what is and isn’t okay with regards to thier own feelings. Lol.

Glad to know this blog helps somewhat.

Still alive!
Been working a lot, dealing with a little man who is becoming hormonal and also attempting to educate backwoods Doctor’s who apparently think it’s hysterical to make it very difficult for me to access Testosterone.

I’m pretty fed up with my current job but don’t feel as though I should find another job.
I have an illogical sense of loyalty and I should simply be thankful to be employed?

We totally went to K’s high school induction last week. We figured it would be us all sitting in an auditorium with a plethora of other parents and potential students, listening to some kind of presentation.

Well – that was what my Wife and I did.
But upon arrival, we were told “students go this way, parents the other and you’ll meet up for the tour at the end”. Cue panicked looks between my Wife and I, and a very meek K being led away by a year 7 student.
We entered this grand old ornate hall (this place looks like fucking Hogwarts) and got delivered an informative and lengthy presentation.

By the end of it, I was eager to see where K was and if he was freaking out. Our tour group met up with our kids and I saw he was grinning from ear to ear, sitting with three other boys. He’d obviously made friends. He didn’t even stay near us for the tour, electing instead to forge ahead with his newfound mates.

In one hour, this place had taken my quite shy little boy and turned him into a little adult! We were impressed. K was beside himself with excitement about the facilities.

We submitted the application today, and interviews begin next week.
Please cross your fingers he gets in.

Schools around here are absolutely abhorrent, to the point where graduates can’t even read. I don’t want that for my kid. He needs this opportunity.

have you ever thought about asking some companies to hit you up with new prosthetics for you to review? you could just show them your following and that you’re an educational resource for many trans men of all ages and situations. the number of notes on your reviews are statement enough of how helpful they are to so many people. anyway just something I was thinking about. thanks for everything mate.

I have thought about this, and it’s kind of how I got my freetom (except I paid $60 shipping).
It doesn’t really sit right with me for some reason, but I certainly wouldn’t knock back any offers.

No one owes me squat just because I have over 4k followers on facebook.

I’m still using my ancient 1st gen Peecock which is my ol’ favorite, but barely serviceable.
