A MEMOIR OF BECOMING
Written as it happened.
Twenty-one years of writing about transition, creativity, and change. Some of it was published at the time. A lot of it wasn’t.

A NOTE FROM PRESENT-DAY ME
Every piece here carries two dates.
When I wrote it, and when I finally hit publish. I found these pieces while reconstructing twenty-one years of my old blogs, sitting in drafts folders, the way we leave the hard ones.
I’m publishing them barely touched. Some of it felt too honest at the time. Reading it now, the in-between turned out to be the whole point.
When I Feel Depressed
A note before you read: this one goes into the dark. And it also comes out the other side. I wrote this during a low season in 2018 and left it in my drafts, the way we leave the hard ones.

The Truth About My Body
I originally wrote this in September of 2014, four years into my medical and social transition, and never published it. I think it felt too honest at the time. Reading it now, twelve years later, the in-between turned out to be the whole point.
