Time for my daily walk (I do a couple miles a day). It’s warmed up a bit: -4 (with -24 windchill) and it’s sunny! It does feel a bit like putting a suit of armor on before going out.

Oh jeez, I kinda buried the lede on that last post. The new name is Margaux. Or Margot. (But not Margeaux or Margo).
My wife said this morning “Margaux is fancy and Margot is sassy. And you’re kinda both so…” No help at all. 😂
It does help to say it “out loud” here.
My mother, grandmother […]

"What's in a name?" indeed. Did anyone else have a difficult time choosing a new name? I feel like I've been agonizing over it since I started transitioning (in 2023). I know I'm ditching my first name (which I never liked and luckily never went by). My middle name is Scott and my friends have […]

I started typing this in a response to someone, but figured it could be a general apology: I’m in this weird place in my transition where I feel ALL the things now, especially empathy, that was repressed for 55 years, but don’t have the words or necessarily know the best way to be supportive […]

Went to a restaurant last night and asked for a Coke. Server brought me (a can of) Diet Coke. This was a first (and I’ve been ordering Cokes since before Diet existed). My female friends at the table told me that many servers make the assumption that women want a Diet. 🥹

45 years ago “Call Me” by Blondie was the very first 45 record I ever bought for myself. I bet a lot of 11-year-old kids heard it for the first time today.

Did an escape room this weekend (we escaped with 31s left!) and our staff guide was a young trans woman. And today at the dentist my dental hygienist is married to a trans woman (so we had lots to chat about)!

The further I get into transition the little things that once gave me euphoria just become everyday things. But then the realization that those things are now just a part of everyday life provides its own euphoria. Meta-euphoria?

So my stylist has another trans woman as a client and she found this little $30 human hair topper on Amazon. I got it and my stylist colored and styled it to match my hair—it’s very minimal, just enough to cover my forehead (bangs!) and my sadly “thinning” top. The hair is very fine just like […]

In other news, a trans woman has moved into our building recently and I’m really excited to meet her! Could someone remind me what the secret handshake is?

I mean, I hope things don't get so bad here I'm forced to leave, but having a viable escape route will certainly quell some anxiety.

It’s so nice seeing/chatting with other (clocky) trans sisters here in Hawai’i even if it’s just a big smile as you pass by each other on the street.
