Introductions

First things first,

I'm from a reasonaby small city named Auburn (a complete time warp) in Washington State, about 45 minutes outside of Seattle. I've been here for 14 of the short 17 years of my life. The general population consists of dirtbags, scumbags, ratbags, red knecks, no knecks, and asses. But, it's home.

Here, I'm a high school student at an alternative high school, and a full time community college student as well. I'm exiting my junior year, and II'll be graduating in 06'. Woo!

For about three years, I've felt and known that I am transgendered. This means that I was born with all of the male goods, xy karyotype, but God has chose to mix things up with me.

Did I mention that I'm as surely Atheist as John Paul the II is dead? Ha hah. Okay, bad joke. I suppose I should take this time to say that while I am atheist, I have a deep respect for all religions, and the people who practice them. I can't help but have a bit of discomfort at the thought of organized Christian religion, though. For obvious reasons. It's something that I share with many other BLGT people out there.

Moving on now; After my self-realization about being transgendered, I suffered in silence for a few years (like so many young and old alike do), until it became too much and I confronted my mother with my problems. With a few months of struggle, as there almost always is with less open and less intuitive parents, I began jumping through the HBIGDA Standards of Care hoops. Four or five months later I began taking estrogen, and that's where I'm at now, six months into the process, ready to take the next steps.

I've been taking estrogen (estradiol, 4mg a day) for six months and antiandrogens (spironolactione, 25mg a day) for a few weeks. My body is really starting to feminize. Over the course of writing this blog for what I hope will be a few years, I'll document and write about all of the changes that are taking place.

A little bit about me: I'm taking whatever I can at high school and college, including two (soon to be three) foreign languages. I'm very into Asian culture, specifically Japanese. Asian musicians are hot like heavy metal plasma. I hope to transfer to the U-Dub in like a year. I'm primarily attracted to women, but consider myself bisexual (kinda difficult to be completely straight as a TG person). That about covers it.

Oh! And I think that Bruce Campbell and Bruce Willis totally need to star together in "Die Hard IV: This time, some real shits' goin' down."

Excuse me if my Queenie-fag-bitch-valley-girl-bobbin'-my-head-like-a-mofo attitude even comes out while I'm typing. I can't help it sometimes.

So, now that that's done with, what am I up to today?

Nothing. At all.

Prepping for a new college quarter, eating a subway sandwich while I type this, watching bad movies on the SciFi channel, looking at my fattening ass (hormones) in the mirror . . .That's all the excitement for me today.

I'll post some pics within a few days, and begin explaining exactly where I'm at with hormones, so I can continue to document the change.
