153) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 7 – ‘Gender Dysphoria Isn’t What You Think’
It is amazing to me, looking back, that it took 8 months after all these experiences, before I actually realized that I am trans. And, not to dwell on it, but those 8 months were…kinda…sorta…very dysfunctional. Why, is hard to explain. But, my axle was misaligned, AND I knew it. And I didn’t know what…
152) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 6 – “You don’t have to change yourself; just accept who you are!”
There is a common misunderstanding that comes up when trans people start talking about things like changing or ‘adjusting’ themselves in certain ways. For example, tell people that you are “voice training to sound more feminine”, and you will so often hear, “Why not just talk naturally? You don’t need to force your voice to…
151) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 5 – The Secret (until now…oops), Ancient Mystical Occult Ritual that turns you into a girl (or a guy, if you cast this spell in reverse)
Note: To be perfectly clear, the title is a joke. If you’re not trans, then this won’t actually turn you into a trans person. I’m so sorry about your luck. :’( But in all sincerity, if you are trans, especially if you’re in denial to yourself about it, then this might, legit, bring up some…
150) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 4 – Gorillas & bellydancers
Girl vs. Guy Walks It’s pretty obvious that, on average, guys and girls walk a little differently. Of course, this varies, from person to person and culture to culture. Some women walk very ‘masculine’; some men very ‘feminine.’ Etc. But in general, it’s accurate to say that men & women walk a little differently. (Seriously,…
149) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 3 – The Subtle Importance of Walking
So how might a person start to connect in an embodied way to “the feminine” or “the masculine” energies inside of them?There are obviously no shortage of possibilities. But I decided to choose walking. The neuro-biology of “walking” is so super-cool we would need entirely separate essays to describe it reasonably. But, in brief, walking…
148) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 2 – The Invisible Girl
Once upon a time, one warm spring morning, a little baby human was born. “It’s a boy!” went up the cry. Then, a bunch of things happened. Despite a thousand different clues during that indicated otherwise, that little boy grew up believing he was a little boy growing up. Those thousand different clues deserve their…
147) “How did you know you were trans?” Part 1 – Escape from Alcatraz
I have to first express how awesome it has been, this experience of coming out to people. So much love and kindness and support it’s…incredible. I don’t know. Words totally fail here. It’s so scary, ahead of time, knowing that you’re going to be seen differently for the rest of your life, knowing that you’re…
