Pre-T Binding Testosterone Top Surgery Stealth "Passing" "Top To Bottom"

"Let your heart guide you. It whispers so listen closely." - Littlefoot's mother, The Land Before Time

My documentation of my physical transition is 99.9% for myself. When I started T, I kept a hand-written journal for about three months, and then I got lazy. I update my LiveJournal when I notice some interesting physical or emotional changes, and take photos and record voice clips.

Also, as time goes on, I'm becoming less and less interested in being the token tranny, and embracing my ability to pass as a biological (cis) male in the world.I am only open about my trans status when it's important (filling out paperwork that requires disclosure of my birth sex or name) or relevent (trans-populated spaces and/or conferences).

To expand more on a couple notes on the main page, I identify as transsexual because it's my sex that's changing. Not my gender. So there you have it, my take on the differences between 'transgender' and 'transsexual.' And I do not, at all, consider myself to have been born "in the wrong body." It's not like SRS involves a brain transplant or something :-P Aside from hang-ups about my chest, because I'm still pre-op, I'm okay with my body as it is. Yes, kids, that means that I'm perfectly okay with what I've got going on below the belt. The only time it's ever a bit of a pain is if people assume that my junk is female. News flash: It isn't! Why? Because it's mine and I said so!
