Love.

A word previously used to describe the curse of being tied to you. The feeling so endlessly suffocating, and yet explosive in its presentation. Something I now use to describe pure unadulterated peace. A language presently used to describe him. A word so easily manipulated, about a feeling so easily confused. The feeling so deeply beautiful, powerful and raw that words cannot properly express. Something so special and sweet, the taste is complete and utter bliss An act so pur

The Man in the Mirror

"Who is he?" I voice to myself. He looks so familiar, so handsome... Bright golden eyes filled with light, soft short hair styled to perfection, a shining smile showing immense joy... He is not me. At least, not yet. I blink and stare in the mirror again. Dull eyes reflect back, framed by dark circles, A permanent scowl permanently etched on the face, Long messy blonde hair, obviously unkept to top it all off... I don't recognize her. What happened to the man in the mirror

Trans Life in the Midwest USA

Life is never easy but it becomes 10x harder when you're a minority in a potentially hostile environment. I was born in Good Ol' Blue State California as a girl, at least that's what the doctors told my parents. So begins the next 2 decades of my life in the Bay Area where I have my little Twister, "Q" in the beginning of "Fire Season". Being a young parent is already hard but a less than 5 foot 19 year old seahorse is a WHOLE other story. "He looks just like Mama!" "Actual

End Of 2025

2025 was... a year. to put it lightly. Between the start of a new presidency in America, a New Pope, New City, New Job, New Kid, New Passions... A lot of new things!

My little Potato came to be, the day after I moved into Good ol' Red State North Dakota . I got to go to 2 concerts, one

The Return of the T

After a roughly 2 year long break, I have finally restarted Testosterone... Huzzah! No one talks too much about the effects on your body and the subsequent effects of going off Testosterone. Two years ago, I was on HRT for 6 months before I had to stop taking hormones for a bit to safely have my little potato (R). In the short period of time, I grew a darker moustache, my voice became deeper, and my self image was happier and more content... In only 6 months! Today, I have

Join me in exploring life in the midwest as a trans man raising cis boys. I share my experiences, and stories about navigating the chaos of children with the added chaos of being trans in america.

Life in America as a trans person is already a challenge, now I'm raising two kids too? 22 year old trans man raising a 3 year old twister and a 6 month potato in the midwest was NOT the way I thought my life was going to go.
