Identity
Happy Trans-versary to Me. Top Story - October 2021.
Happy Trans-versary to me. It has been official 2 years since I began my transition into my authentic true self. It has been a very interesting 2 years so far and there is so much I have learned: both positive and negative. Where to even begin?

Their Own Words – A Better Man (Part Two)
Their Own Words – A Better Man (Part Two) “So, are you going to write a book about me?” I remember Craig asking me once. I replied that I didn’t think the world would be able to handle his life story with all that drama and sex. He told me that I had led too sheltered a life, that there were hundreds of others out there who had gone through the same things he had, or worse, and that these stories should be told!

It's Okay to be a lil Gay
This is the story of how I found myself. I never really accepted myself until now, and even with as far as I have come, there is still so much I need to fix. That's besides the point though. This is my story of how I came out, how I found out who I was inside, and learned that it's okay for me to be Bisexual. Please enjoy, and I hope it inspires others to look inside, and find themselves too! First, I'd like to share a poem I wrote, called Darkest Grey. It's about the struggle of being stuck, and not being able to move forward. I hope it hits home, and gives you the strength to move forward, and push out of the place you're stuck. (I will change or shorten names of [people for privacy)

Next Year Is Tomorrow
Five years ago, on New Year’s Eve, I was living in Brooklyn but had been home in Pennsylvania for Christmas and though I don’t remember why or how, I guess I returned early. I went to Astoria to celebrate. It was my first New Year in the city. It was my first away from family. It was my first that I ever went out, instead of sat in basements eating wings and playing games and drinking weird old beer and watching the real grown-ups celebrate and kiss each other and hug their families. It was sadder than I expected.

Documentary Review: 'Little Girl'
Little Girl is a heart-rending documentary about the struggles of a little girl who was born a boy. Sasha was born a boy but by a very early age, she began to express to her mother that she was really a boy. Sasha’s parents, at first, dismissed their child’s gender questions but, eventually, they were forced to come around. Now, they are tangling with schools, and bullies and Russian ballet coaches who keep working to make Sasha’s life far more difficult than it should be.
