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'...

Gender Pronouns & My Grams

Gender pronouns. What a mixed bag of predicament, that one. I've thought about this quite a bit, especially now that I'm transitioning and facing new, not entirely anticipated social pressures orienting around binary gender - both within the trans community and outside of it, which I'll ramble on aboot in a later post. For now, I'll try to stick to the nitty gritty of answering, " What pronouns do I prefer, and why? " Back in January I posted, "I'm noticing that people are just too confused by it, default on 'she', and it's exhausting to constantly explain genderqueer or how my transition is separate from my gender identity. I'm finding that I'm in a position where it's easier to just use language most people can understand, like "female-to-male", for example. Given the options 'he' or 'she', I feel much more comfortable with 'he'. So, at group yesterday, I said, "I'm starting ...
