A day of inner turmoil later … thanks Mirko - your we’re right. I had a friend reach out, and apparently the relevant part of their conversation...
I came out to my son today. It went very well and as expected … he’s happy for me, but otherwise unconcerned. His only question was, “is it ok if...
For me … no. This is probably because I grew up surrounded by people in uniforms (police, firefighter, nurse, etc) so I’ve never related them to...
An interesting question - on a number of levels. I have lived my life primarily presenting as a straight male … I am in fact genderqueer/trans...
An interesting question for me, mostly because I am only just now coming out as transgendered, and currently single. I currently present as a...
I’m not sure if this counts … and it may be a little depressing (trigger warning, for some) I keep a diary of all the suicide notes I’ve written...
Pride month has always held a place close to my heart. I attended the first pride parade in Toronto in 1981, at the age of 10 with my parents (I...
Great question … I never liked the word “queer” because I grew up in the generation where it was a common derogatory slur. Tbh I was quite upset...

From the time I was in high school, I was the guy that took the dare to switch clothes with female friends. I learned that a skirt can be very...
“There is no truth, only perception” -Gustave Flaubert We all want to believe we are right, and that truth is on our side. I just think we’d be...
thanks. That’s comforting. I imagine my non-binary kid (still getting used to not saying ‘daughter’) will be one of my biggest supporters, and I...
i can relate to that feeling of “I will never be that”, so often have I felt like there is simply no point trying to present as something I will...
right?!? Dressing up often feels less like being ‘me’, and more like someone trying to dress up and imitate being me. This is an idea I’ve...
I’ve gone 50 years feeling this way. You’re not alone. And thanks - I’m grateful to posts like yours for feeling I am not alone either. Each of...
Recently I’ve made a decision to change how I present my gender identity to others. I’m still figuring the categories all out, but associate with...
Thanks for this. I’ve recently made a decision to change how I present my gender identity to others. I’m still figuring it all out - and as bit of...
Thanks. I’ve found some of it already, in realizing I am less alone than I thought I was. I’m still figuring it all out … but it feels like this...
