The Future of Trans in Genetics?

Recently scientists have found that a specific gene can be altered to make a female body begin functioning as a male, and another to make a male function as female. Now, I am not a molecular geneticist, but my parents are, so I feel entirely capable of talking about this situation by summarizing what other [...]

Breast Exam today

I had my first breast exam today, I have a large lump in my right breast and it turns out it may be a Cyst, which isn’t a big deal, however I did a lot of research on it and it turns out you need to get it drained and it never really goes away. [...]

Mister now Miss

Hi!
Let’s begin by introducing me. My name is Katherine Jane DeIrlande. I am a male to female transgendered chick.
The name that has been given me was the one that my mother chose before I was born, so not much thinking on my part to come up with a new, and exciting name. I have since a [...]

Stonewall and Pride – A Proud Transman’s Perspective

(This is a repost of my Facebook Note posted yesterday, June 9, 2009. I believe the subject is important enough that it must be shared with those not on Facebook).

Online Networking and Strangers

“Out here we treat the internet like a public BBQ: you might talk a minute to the person eating next to you, even give them your extra fork, but once you go home neither of you don’t vouch for the other as a friend just because you both like BBQ.”

I received an email with the [...]

Stuck in Loneliness [Trans Universe repost]

Stuck in Loneliness
April 15th, 2009

By Monica F. Helms
(This is the 3rd and final installment in the “Stuck in . . . ” series.)
We all know that loneliness does not limit itself to LGB or T people. This feeling probably strikes 100% of the human population at one time of another, many living in perpetual loneliness for most [...]

When our brains are “socially constricted”

I find myself needing to comment on the issue of bathroom usage after reading a recent blog post which can be found here: ( When Does “Sex” Matter to Trans People )

I know this may seem like I’m “behind the times” in this issue, but until one has actually experienced a situation, one cannot [...]
