Trans guy pOp!

Lately I've been getting all amped up about everything pOp and trans. Particularly a hip-hop trans performer named Harvey Katz, also known as "Athens Boys Choir", and a Katastrophe (Rocco Kayiatos) - who is featured in a documentary called Pick up the Mic: The (R)evolution of Queer Hip Hop that premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. I haven't seen it yet, but I will.

    Neekole: I stumbled upon him back in the day when I went to visit Katie in Chicago (like she mentioned below) and had absolutely no idea he was trans. When Katie told me, I was all giddy aboot it but never looked into him. He popped up on my radar again after reading the 1st issue of Original Plumbing, and now after coming out I'm even giddier about him than I was before and everything positive-inspiring tranny. Dirty Sanchez is at the uber top though, of course.

Photo Documentation: 90 Days

I figured it was about time to do another pained and unflattering photo documentation. This cursed camera my parents gave me for Christmas. So yesterday, March 10th, marked 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate . I also did a voice check, which I'll upload and post tomorrow. 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks ( Click on images for larger, even less flattering versions - I'd prefer if you didn't, but the option does exist. ) Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution): Getting some hardcore belly action where my body fat is most definitely redistributing. Ho ho ho. In addition, it's getting a tad bit hairier, which is demonstrated more clearly in the belly action shot below. Ooooh yeah, there we go. Look at therm li'l hairs! Still not enough to satisfy my cute Russian female friend, but getting there. One day. Eventually. Putt putt putt. Leg (hair growth + muscle development) A bit hairier. No difference in muscle tone that I'...

It's Official! I'm legally DUDE!

Last Wednesday, June 23rd, I heard back from my therapist that he had faxed two letters to the Judge appointed to my case. One saying that yes, I'm trans and yes, I should have my gender legally changed. The other being a copy of the original letter that he wrote for my doctor in support of starting hormone therapy. My friend, Andrew, joined me at the court house with the following mission: hunt down the clerk assigned to my case to find out about my gender change. The hunt was simple. Her presumed locale was easy to find but - she wasn't in. Instead, there was a note at the front counter that directed my attention to a phone on the wall next to a list of clerks and extensions to reach them. So I dialed her extension and she answered. I gave her my info and she replied, "Oh, yes. Everything has been granted.", wha? Seriously? Even the fee waiver!? To clarify I asked, " Everything ? The name change, the gender change, and the fee waiver ?", "Yes....
