Hey everybody!
Thanks for taking a moment to see what I'm about and what I
have to say. Unfortunately, my ramblings and ruminations remain
thin. I planned to add more as interest warranted; however, that remains to be seen. I have always doubted whether anyone beyond a select few would care to hear my
thoughts. I have learned that this is far from the reality. Ultimately, I would like to add more biographical details, a press section (click here for my latest interview with PlanetOut / Gay.com), and address some of those burning questions. To wit: yes, I do date men, and, yes, I did transition back in 2005. Currently,
many of the more frequent and/or obvious questions were addressed in my FAQ section, but this became too unwieldy for my busy schedule. But, with respect to my writings,
I hope to eventually include some expository thoughts on what
it means to be who I am: why I do what I do, what drives me
to continue to do so, when did I begin, and what sort of trauma
in my life generated this alleged gender confusion. In the meantime,
for those interested, my blog on MySpace
might provide something of interest.
As for the trauma and alleged gender confusion, I assure you,
gentle reader, that nothing traumatic 'caused' me to search
for gender identification. Quite the contrary: it was trauma
that made me look deep within myself, and question my reasons
for suppressing these elements of my persona, my psyche, my
creativity and my sexuality. I am whole, and becoming a girl was instrumental in achieving
those ends. Life is just too short to waste time not being who
you want to be, or who you need to be. I have wrestled with
assorted appellations, and I am happiest with describing myself
as 'transgender.' Period. It's my life, after all; and I get
to define myself as I see fit.
Permit me a moment on the soapbox, however. In the past, I tended toward the apolitical, and preferred to reside in the periphery.
Activism, as was typical for me to muse, made me itch, as I witnessed political aims
and means transform into personal agendas. The so-called "trans"
community was not immune as far as I was concerned; however,
this all changed for me as I became more involved in
various elements of the community, and I intersected with more
and more individuals. I was influenced by a variety of
events, and welcomed the change. Originally, my intentions were
limited to personal expression, fashion, and merely enjoying
myself, but clearly this evolved as I have became 'involved.'
So, welcome to my corner on the Internet: the digital ruins of what was originally the chronicle of my
social life. Who knows what form this will eventually take. Perhaps one should expect more from the girl that
was once renown for shaking her martinis with shards of broken glass instead of ice, but for
now this will just have to suffice. And, if you're expecting
something X-rated: well, content yourself with the fact that
I'm just not that public of a girl. So don't even ask.
In any event, please feel free to let me know what you think about the website.
Not a shred of pretentiousness went into its development. The
last thing that you'll catch me doing is talking about how fabulous
I think I am. This is not a forum for self-edification, it is
but an opportunity to express. Well, okay…I'll concede: maybe
there's just a little bit of self-indulgence herein! Whatever.
Enjoy.
Love,
