Shopping for some of the stuff on my list
I got paid today, so naturally it was time to go shopping for some necessities. I bought a giftbox set of Gillette personal hygene items--deoderant, shave gel, bodywash, shampoo and a 5 bladed razor. I was really pleased to save some money by buying everything I need for one price instead of adding up the cost and not being able to afford ( Read more... ) -
A Long and Thought-Filled Entry...
Today my friend Shanna and I picked a name off the "Angel Tree" (a Sub-For-Santa program through the Salvation Army). Shanna picked out a fifteen-year-old boy and we went shopping (her money, not mine) and picked out clothes (pants, shirts, socks) and a skateboard for the teen. I really enjoyed the experiance, mostly because it was my first time ( Read more... ) -
My Formal Introduction
Hey people! I'm Thomas and I'm new here, so I thought I'd stop in and say hello. I'm a female to male transgendered individual and I am working on coming out to my closest friends right now, but it's really hard. I already identify as a lesbian, and I am out to everyone, including family and total strangers, so I know how my family might react ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving And Other Meanderings
A lot has happened since I last wrote in here. I came down to Malad with my friend Kathy to stay the weekend and I celebrated Thanksgiving with my grandma and my aunt Jean's family.

My "Other" Name
I meant to write in here yesterday, but I never got around to it. I do remember one thing I meant to write, that wasthat more people started calling me Thomas and a staff even told me that she heard I liked to be called by another name but she wasn't sure because she heard it from someone else. I told her it was true, that I liked to be called ( Read more... ) -
Still In The Hospital
Today I talked to that same counselor again and let her read my list that I made yesterday. She suggested that I bring up my trans issues in group. I had already been thinking about it, so I decided to go for it. so come group-time, we were going around introducing ourselves and saying something about ourselves. Everyone said their name and ( Read more... ) -

Talking About It
I talked to my doctor here at the hospital and also a counselor here and I learned that maybe I'm not as far away from my goal of being able to at least pass for male as I thought I might be. Somehow it seemed so unattainable before, but now that I talked about it actually face-to-face with someone who can give an objective opinion and things, it ( Read more... ) -
Saying The Words
Okay, well this will probably sound stupid no matter how I start... I've done a lot of thinking on this subject, but somehow it's harder to say the word than it was to admit I am gay. Right now, I'm in the hospital in Idaho Falls. I guess this is a good time to sort through my feelings a bit more... But no sense in beating around the bush about it ( Read more... )
