Transgender visibility Day 2020

Image
  Hello everyone. This blog will be a quick statement on trans visibility day which is March 31st, this year it falls on a Tuesday. Transgender visibility day is one of many days of pride and awareness for the greater LGBTQIA+ communities, in particular for the trans community. I am a non-binary transfeminine person. I am trans and I knew I was for almost 3 years since 2017 but didn't start transitioning in 2018 when I had supportive friends and came out to them as well my family at home. I had a support system at home established, I then felt it was safe to be out and transition to be my true self, and I'm glad you're on This Journey™ because transformation and adventure is one big giant process I couldn't do it without you! Jokes aside. My friends were probably the reason why I am today. Some details about my transition. I have been on feminizing HRT for over a year and that's amazing. So I am glad that I am the real me and I have met wonderful people,...

Blog Update: 23rd birthday and life changes

Hello everyone. Today is my birthday and I am now 23 years old. So, happy birthday to me! I will be on vacation so my writing will be delayed, but please consider my Patreon if you want to help me celebrate and keep my blog alive. Some changes from last month. I stopped doing rideshare as my job. I have other jobs lined up, I also have extended my services to ghostwriting, translation, and editing for hire. I, of course, want to make this my job, and eventually, launch a potential youtube career. I want to get all the support from any fans I have. Writing is something I love doing. I may go to grad school for a master's but not sure about that. So please consider supporting this blog through my Patreon or you can make a one-time donation at PayPal. Thanks -Brittany

Pesky Hormones: A transfeminine person's period. (Poem)

CW/TW: HRT, genitalia, periods, menstruation, reproduction . . . . . . . . . Originally posted on Patreon, February 27th, 2020 They say make baby but I don’t want to, and even if I could, I still wouldn’t want that. My transition goal isn’t motherhood The estrogens and progestins now in my body have gone mad For they are searching for my uterus that I never had What is wrong with me? What could it be?  Is this a period? Who knows? Won’t you tell me? The cramps and sudden arousal say make baby How do I know, ask my doctor at the clinic, maybe? Do I bleed? No doctor, I don’t bleed through my dick And the TERFs accuse me of pulling a misogynist trick But surely my PMS, sore breasts and cramps are real This is something that most people with estrogen feel The hormones are the cause, they change, they shift. There are new feelings that often fall and drift. My pesky hormones are not always such a curse. The breasts are nice, but the...

View into the soul: a poem

There is something in the brain And it is rather insane Because I cannot quite describe All the hues and the general vibe. The mind produces images and pics, Which are all made of leaves and sticks Or grass, mountains, and colors of the sky In which it really feels like I can fly Over it all, in its rainbow glory It tells a wild and vibrant story The story has no words nor text  I wait to see what will come next!

An introduction to Transfeminine Sexual Health: Why is nobody talking about it?

Image
TW: Dysphoria, Medical Bias, Sexual Anatomy, Human reproduction. I am placing a general warning for anyone not comfortable with talks of certain body parts. If you're a trans woman or transfeminine with bottom dysphoria, this may be uncomfortable. And I will be focusing more on the United States since that is where I live, but do comment on the status of trans health care in your country, especially if you are not from the U.S. I was inspired to write this after hearing about trans men talk about their experience with gynecology and how cisnormative it is, and how medical institutions still conflate having a uterus and a vagina with being a woman, likewise they tend to the same with having a penis, prostate, testes, etc with being a man. Though a lot of doctors especially when dealing genitalia and reproductive parts are becoming more trans-inclusive. I will be using transfeminine as an umbrella term for any transgender person that was assigned male at birth that is taking es...

Changing Time Back: Transgender Lost Youth and Queer Theory

Read here if display is not working. Hello everyone, my name is Brittany, and I am a non-binary trans femme. So, recently I thought of my past and what could have been. I helped my parents clean their basement and inside the aged boxes were relics of the past: my childhood, yet I felt terribly disconnected, this was one of many times I’ve reflected upon my past and youth. I intend this to be an introduction and overview of facets of the transgender experience using my own to serve as examples, but even others, from a twitter thread. Imagine what would have been for the adult identity you have and your childhood matching. No women with boyhoods and no men with girlhoods, and nonbinary people not having either. Imagine the world of difference it would make for one to transition as a child, even before puberty, and not have permanent masculinization or feminization in the wrong way. I also wish I could have been an enby girl as a child. It’s one thing for an AMAB perso...

Am I gender non-conforming?

Hello everyone. You have probably heard of the phrase "gender non-conforming" and have wondered what does that word mean. Gender non-conforming refers to a person whose gender expression does not match the typical cultural norms for their gender identity. The most well-known examples are androgyny, feminine men, and masculine women. These are powerful things to be, especially if you're trans. Yes, trans men can be feminine and still are men, and trans women can be butch or masc and still are women. I am feminine and a non-binary transfeminine person, a demigirl, lady-androgyne. You know your enby-girl, she has a lot of labels for herself. Labels are like that. We have a lot and are a largely individual style that tries to align oneself to social conventions. In terms of expression, I conform, to my identity, but then again my identity is not conforming to the binary. Perhaps it is a little gnc. Ultimately, using the label of gender non-conforming serves to call at...
