"art is not about capturing PERFECTION it is about capturing HONESTY OF A MOMENT. because perfection does not exist but raw honesty and connection to this ever passing timeline does. we are here grabbing life out of the stream and holding it in our hands to cry out I WAS HERE." -Chuck Tingle

Why i have been silent...

Hello all you beautiful people out there. The reason i have been largely absent on posting is something that i think that is ignored by many when seeking transition. That is to say that it is easy to become so absorbed into going down the path to transition and focusing all of your energies on that without realizing that this journey,especially for me, is also about many layers of people pleasing and other emotional structures need to be dealt with as well. And that is why have stepped back a bit from this Tumblr.

I am more than just what gender i am. And now that i have made peace with being trans, i need to deal with all the other issues in my life. So i put on hold any movement towards transition until those aspects are dealt with.

My marriage and other family dynamics play a big part in this. My ability to speak up for myself. My ability to be confident in who i am and who i want to be. To conquer my fear and put myself first, just to name a few things.

So for the time being i have stopped gender therapy but have continued regular therapy. Im moving towards building a better self confidence and strength and to build positive relationships and gain the courage to lose relationships that no longer support or serve my well-being-transition or not.

My gender identity isnt the conflict in myself anymore. Im certain that i am transgender and now have to see how it fits me. Its now time to work on the rest.

Peace and love to you all

Living your truth. 3/10/2023

Two friends from college tracked me down and gave me a call yesterday. We went to CSU Chico in the 1970’s .In my memory, we hadn’t spoken since 1981. They are both now retired. We are all, I believe, in our late 60’s. They had led the more traditional lives. College, work, retirement. I had not lived a traditional life. I told them that I had left my wife in 1984 because I was gay. I had undergone upheaval in my work life as a lawyer because I was out, Gay, and worked with men with aids through their illness and death in the 1980s and 1990s. I had been in a 12 year relationship with a man until his death . I had an alcohol problem but have been sober 12 years. I still have an active criminal defense practice. And, I love the gym and swam from Alcatraz to San Fransisco last September. . And I’ve kept journals for 45 years and I’m writing a book from them. My friends said “You are living your truth.

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of August 21, 2022

By David Himmel

• Living one’s truth, despite who it hurts, is not malicious. Which is a terribly stupid way of thinking but there it is.

• Is Trevor Noah funny? Because I’m not seeing it.

• I’m not saying public schools are teaching our youngest students the complicated reasons behind gender reassignment, but after two days in Chicago Public Schools, my four-year-old came home asking about it.

• Trauma can be great at making you forget a lot about the hardest parts of your life. If you play it right, trauma can be a lifesaver.

• Pre-schoolers are a lot like chimps. They’re extra adorable when you dress them up like grown adults.

• Well-to-do white people stress: Stuck in the Starbucks drive-thru line with an infant crying their eyes out because they blew shit all over their car seat.

Be the person your teenage self wanted and needed in their life.

You may not be able to change the past but there will be a kid out there screaming to know people like you exist.

Second Gender Therapy Appointment..

I had another appointment with the gender therapist yesterday that follows my regular counseling appointment that i had a few days ago. Between those two appointments and the major self work that i have done, i am a lot more clear headed now about where i am going with this. By no means do i have everything figured out, but i am getting closer to where i need to be.

At both offices now, i have changed my name and pronouns to the ones i have chosen. Maddie and she/her. For the first time i fully dressed without makeup for my gender therapy appointment in black leggings, white blouse and bra with inserts and i can do the same at my next doctor's appointment.

Wearing those clothes and being gendered and identified as a woman, felt so right. And being called Maddie felt as if i had been called that my entire life, It almost made me cry with happiness. I no longer felt the shame that i have been carrying around with me my whole life.

As i indicated in my last post, i am going to move forward with low dose hormones pending a meeting with my family doctor and an endocrinologist. And more importantly I am going to start filling my wife in gently on whats going on. She deserves to know exactly where i stand and i have to let her know that i love her and i support whatever decision she needs to make for herself.

There are so many more hurdles to make yet with family, job, friends among others. And there are many other challenges yet to transition like possible surgeries and the like but i am not trying to look too far ahead because it becomes really daunting and intimidating if i do and it drives my anxiety and worry. I am focusing on each little step and celebrating the small wins. I am leading with my heart and what feels right for me. I know the road ahead is going to be challenging but i can do this. I am going to do this. Because i deserve to be happy. I deserve to be myself.

SO DO YOU. Peace

[image description: a retro upa-styled digital drawing of two people roller skating, done in the colors of the trans flag. the first person is thin with short, shaggy, side-shaved hair, many piercings, and some stubble. they are wearing a jacket and some jeans, and their top surgery scars are visible. they look happy and are waving at the viewer. the second person has a short dark-colored bob and is wearing glasses. they have visible arm hair and are wearing a crop top with matching shorts. they are leaning over in an elaborate skating move. behind the two is a wavy trans flag, and above them is text that says "transsexuals have more fun!". end id]
