Here are some updated pics... 1 1/2 years on T...and 1 year 9 months post-op.

( Take in September... )

You told me that I should have stayed...and we could have worked it out together as a family. But...I told you about the biggest decision I had ever made in my life...and you told me that I could never be your brother.  You told me that you would support me but you didn't understand why I had to change my name...or go on hormones.  So when you ( Read more... )

I don't write in my LJ as often as I would like...and I need to vent right now...so here it goes.

I was joking around with some friends at work last night (my co-workers DO NOT know that I am FTM trans) and one guy said something that really upset me.  I will use first initials to refer to my co-workers...

R: You really need to hit that (referring to ( Read more... )

I've been working out...so here are a couple of pics...

( TRYING for a better body... )

I've noticed something about women.  I think, for the most part, men's looks aren't really important when it comes to snagging a girl's attention.  I mean...I've been sitting around thinking that I just needed to "fix" my appearance to become more appealing to people.  It's not the outside that needs fixing!  It's the inside!  I'm shy and awkward a ( Read more... )

When I was younger...I thought of myself as "Cory" from "Boy Meets World."  I was the kid who had a good-looking best friend...but I was too geeky to get the girl.  I wanted romance...but nobody wanted the romantic, sweet, geek.  When I got a little older, I identified with "Cameron" from 10 Things I Hate About You.  Again...I was a little on the ( Read more... )

Is it bad that I would rather spend my two days off cleaning the apartment, working out, lounging around, and fixing dinner for my roommate...than driving out of town to have sex with a potential fuck buddy?  *sigh*  I mean...I could leave in a few hours and spend the night having sex...which would be GREAT...but...I really need to clean my room.

I spent years...trying to find "the one."  That idea - the idea that there is one person that is meant for you...that idea isn't real.  There isn't one person.  Maybe it's the timing.  Maybe you get to a point in  your life where YOU are finally ready to settle down...and you find someone else who possibly harbors the qualities that you are looking ( Read more... )

If anyone still reads my LJ...no...I didn't die.  lol.  Here is what has happened since my last post in 2007:

- I am in the process of getting an honorable discharge from the Army
- I started transitioning from female to male
- I started going by the name "Drew" in February 2008
- I got top surgery in January 2009
- I started testosterone injections in ( Read more... )

I was at a party tonight and was referred to as "he" a lot.  It was interesting.  One thing about being somewhat of a trans-activist is that people assume things about me...like they assume I'm trans.  (And some people thought I was a gay man...like a bio gay man...which was AWESOME!)  I actually identify as genderqueer and I really don't care ( Read more... )
