8-Years Post Op Today
Dec 4th
Wow, eight years, eh? My how time flies.
Things have been busy lately, and I haven’t had any time to invest in blogging, but I expect after this week that I’ll have more time. I want to talk about being eight-years post-op, and what my mindset is at this point.
I also expect some improvements on the site, and always are looking for suggestions.
Have a wonderful day!

Downsized
Nov 15th
Good Morning!
Well, today I find myself facing being downsized from my employer of 31 years. I have mixed emotions about this, as I think that I have been there way too long, and it was well past the time to find something else. If I wasn’t so attached to the people I worked with, this wouldn’t be hard.
So, I might just have some more time to write and get involved with things, who knows. I’m definitely stating another chapter of my life, no doubt about that.

Will SRS help me? Will I regret it?
Oct 21st
Someone wrote to me recently, and this is what she asked:
“I have a very critical question to ask, I hope you can shed some light. In your article or section called “Theories and Therapies” and later on the section “Will SRS help me? Will I regret it?”. at the end there is a paragraph that says:
‘There are two people I know that were there when someone awoke from surgery, and that person knew at that moment that they made a huge mistake.’
I wonder if you may still access to those people and if it is possible to contact them regarding their experience. I am a MTF in transition and still have some doubts, no so much about SRS since that has never been a ‘must’ for me, but about transitioning and living my life as a female.
I certainly have seen many therapists over the last 8 years and I have been diagnosed with GID. And I do live part time as a woman. But I am ready to go into hormones and I would like to hear the stories of those who ‘detransition’ or ‘regret it’…. I guess I am a little critical of the whole thing and I would like to hear the ‘worst case’ scenarios. I think there are plenty of ‘rosy’ experiences out there. But it is hard to find info about those who changed their minds, for whatever reason.”
Here is my response to her, with a few embellishments…..
The Gender-ID Blog
Oct 20th
Welcome!
Blogging is more than just a web fad. It is an important means of communication in today’s world, and a wonderful way to get your story told. It is reminiscent of my on-line pre-op journal, and I hope that it will become an important means of expression for more authors, and a valuable resource for our viewers.
We will be adding new voices to our blog in the coming weeks and months, and invite you to stop in often or join the RSS feed to see what is new. Although I don’t have the time to spend in the forums as I used to, I expect that having the Blog will open opportunities to talk about my thoughts.
Vote!
