Yes, I know I’m transgender and some people might not understand or grasp what’s happened in my life to get me to where I am today. And, let me be brutally honest, I’m not asking or expecting people to accept me or understand my life or who I am anyway! Live and let live is …

So nice to work somewhere completely accepting
It’s so nice to work somewhere completely accepting and this past month that’s what’s happened. I’ve been working on a building site over the past month sorting out the cabling, fibre optic connections and WiFi and after working on other building sites in Leeds, Liverpool and especially darn sarf, I was wondering what I was …

NHS medical number issues
I know I haven’t written about my gender journey for quite some time but this is something those wishing to pursue a gender change on their medical records need to be aware of as it might cause you problems and that’s changing your NHS medical number.

You know what pisses me off when people say, “all the trauma you’ve been through in life, they must have made you stronger”. No. No they didn’t! All that trauma actually did was give me some very weird coping skills, a fucked up sense of humour and a lot of really nasty habits and kinks!

Really angry
Yet again another human being has let me down and you know what I’m really angry. I’m not angry with the other person, I’m angry with myself, for letting them inside my mental fortress again. I promised myself, after the last one, that I wouldn’t do it. I have my closed circle of friends and …
Is being transgender the new social pariah?
Is being transgender, the new social pariah? I’ve been mulling over this idea now for a couple of months. As I’m seeing it more and more on the news and I’ve had a number of conversations about this with friends and colleagues. I see that the transgender community is definitely becoming more and more the …
