Relative to my transgender journey I have a great many stories dating from my closeted adolescence all the way through my transition. Over the years, I've shared a number of these accounts with my friends and peers. Some were published in the NWGA newsletter; others I've told to groups and individuals. Several of these stories were available in earlier versions of this website.
I've discussed exploration, stealth, disclosure, relationship, insight, conflict, society, and friendship. It has been a sharing of a very personal nature, and I've received a lot of positive feedback.
I will eventually get around to cleaning up and republishing here a few of those stories -- enough to be instructive but not so many that I feel like my whole life is on display. After all these years, I think my time as a role model in the broader TG community has passed. I do my part with the trans youth at SMYRC and continue to speak at the universities, but that's about it nowadays. If you're looking for inspiration, there are thousands of other transgendered individuals on the Internet.
So for now I'm starting with just one story carried over from the previous version of this website...
