Transitioning Saves Lives
February 27, 2025: Today, I have been on testosterone for three years. It's wild that time has passed so quickly.

I wish she had gotten the chance to know me, too.

Baseball Eye Candy
The 2025 Major League Baseball regular season is a few weeks away and we're ready for it. If you were to ask anyone who's not a fan of baseball what their favorite part about the sport is, the response will most likely be the cute players and them wearing tight baseball pants. As a gay baseball fan, I agree with these assessments. Even if you're a fan of whatever MLB team your root for, we can't stop staring and admiring good looking players. In this story, I'll be featuring some of my favorite MLB players, one who's active and the rest who have since retired, so you can drool all over the following guys at your own expense.

It’s nice, sure—but in the end, it means nothing. What really matters is leaving this world as the person I truly am. That’s everything.
