Souled Out
I have sold myself out many times over the years, sacrificing what my mind and my heart say is right in the name of others or in a morality pushed upon us by a society that does not care to know us. We find ourselves again in an era where selling out one’s identity or…
The Magic Pill
In my journey through the spectrum of gender, I have seen and experienced countless amazing things. The ability to feel multiple emotions all at once, something some might hint at as a mental defect, but that those on the feminine side of the spectrum just accept as having emotions. The ability to bark in a…
Danger: Crazy Bitch Ahead
The following was originally written in August of 2016, a year before I gave up on everything I had accomplished. In the name of being a productive member of society, I de-transitioned.I share this particular post not with the intention of inspiring or sharing my views but rather as a cautionary tale of the importance…
Dad
Have you ever seen the episode of Star Trek with the aliens who kidnap Captain Pike and add him to their underground menagerie as a zoo specimen? The aliens in this episode had veins running through the sides of their heads that would pulse when they spoke. At eight years old, I was convinced that…

The Broken Doll
The little girl who wasn’t… she was Alice, fallen down the rabbit hole but never found her way back out. The mother she loved so dear, who never ever existed; the father she knew would always protect her, never to take a breath of his own. Forever lost, forever alone. “You are a boy! You…
Superheroes
When I was a child, I wanted to be a superhero. As one could imagine by reading this blog, I didn’t want to be Superman as much as I wanted to be Supergirl, but that is not the topic at hand. As children and even adults, we consider superheroes to be cape-clad men and women…
Yes, I am a trans person. And I very much enjoy Hogwarts Legacy
It was early last year, when I was perusing the gaming news, that I first learned of Hogwarts Legacy, a new game developed by Avalanche Software, a subsidiary of WB Games. In this open-world game, I read that you could create your own Hogwarts student and follow their adventures in attending the famous school for…
