This is my journal for my transition, a way for me to document what happens along the way, good or bad. Something to share and something to measure how far I've come along the way.
Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.

This was me sometime around NYE, When I had a social life, thanks to working nights an this covid 19 shit, that has all seemed to no longer exist.

If I were a cis girl
I wouldn’t be suicidal.
I wouldn’t be a drug addict.
My parents would love me.
I'dve finished uni. (im 27 and still not graduated)
I’d have IRL friends.
I’d enjoy sex.
Wouldn’t have to close my eyes when in the shower.
I could go to the beach or a swimming pool.
I could paint my nails and wear makeup.
I could talk the way I really want to.
I could sing and not hate my voice.
I’d enjoy being a musician more.
I would probably sleep.
I’d enjoy cosplay.
I wouldn’t be shy and reserved.
I would have had a childhood.
IF I WERE A CIS GIRL I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE ALIVE

When trans women are mocked and made into jokes in the media, I get very upset, and I am often told “Kay, you can’t go through life getting offended every time someone makes a joke.” And I sputter and object but they don’t hear me. So I want to be clear for once, about why the jokes make me angry.
I learned to hate myself for being transgender before I knew I was transgender. I laughed at the jokes in stand up comedy routines, and prime time sitcoms, and animated comedy shows, and in the movies, and in books, and in games, laughing at trans women for existing, about “men in dresses”, about people who “got their dicks chopped off”, and I learned to think that was worthy of ridicule.
And then a day came when I felt a pang of envy at what my female classmates were wearing and I repressed it, and felt guilty, and a day where I felt incomplete because I had no breasts and I repressed it and I felt disgusting And a day when I realized the only images of romance that made me feel anything showed two women together and I repressed it and I felt like a monster And a day when I realized I felt sick when I looked at myself in the mirror after every shower before work and couldn’t bear to look at my own face, and I hated myself. And then there came a day when I hated myself so much, and I thought I could never understand why, and so I just wanted it all to end. And it was just a miracle that I swerved my car back into my lane in time.
And all of it started with a joke that I heard on TV, and then kept hearing from all the voices from the ether, over and over and over, worming an idea into my mind before I was old enough to realize I was absorbing it, the idea that a man in a dress is funny, and that changing your body parts makes you a freak, and that women who have penises instead of vaginas are liars and hurt men. And they’re still making these jokes. And somewhere out there right now, just like all those years ago, there is a little girl in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with buzzed off hair watching the TV, hearing that joke and absorbing it without knowing it, who will someday have to pry herself apart to tear it out of her head, just like I did.
That is, if she doesn’t kill herself first.

Along time away
Well now that life seems to back on the up an up, I'd figure it's time for a post to try to stay up to date. I was homeless since around Sept 2018, up till the middle of this month ( Mar 2019). There have been afew positive things that have happened in between this time, I got a job finally, after being unemployed for nearly 2 years, and I finally started HRT at the end of Jan this year, about effin time! Some of the negetive things that happened, haven't spoken to family still, now going on two years. Spent the holidays with my dog, just to avoid any possible undue stress and negetivity. Now coming up on April, things are starting to look up and up more as each day passes. Still don't feel comfortable posting selfies, but, as I'm starting to feel better about myself as the days pass, maybe soon I'll actually post one soon. Right now I'm on 1mg estrogen, and 100mg Spiro. In late April, I get my 3month blood work, and possible medication adjustments, which will require another update. Soooo it gives me something to look forward to.
