It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole three years already since I started on T. At the same time it’s hard to believe it’s only been three years. I’m starting to feel like I’ve always been this person, that I’ve always been Eric and that my previous life was some kind of bizarre dream. More than that, it’s… (more…)
This has really just been One Of Those Weeks so rather than posting on a single topic, I’m giving you all a whole bunch of topics. Aren’t you lucky? And now, in no particular order: Standing Up For Yourself I haven’t always had the greatest track record in this area. Most days I’d rather let something slide than risk conflict… (more…)
It’s been five days since the day I should have stabbed myself in the leg. Five days since my latest dose of T was due. And I still haven’t gotten any. All this fun is because of something as simple as a manufacturer’s shortage. The pharmacy can’t get a hold of it, so neither can I. And I get that… (more…)

(Same with my male… (more…)

How long will that be going on for, a few months, years…?” “No, it’s pretty much a life-long thing.” For anyone who has never experienced this, it’s pretty disconcerting to realize that you know more about your medical treatment than your own doctor does. Maybe it’s all the research I’ve done, but I find… (more…)
I’m a pretty out guy about most things. I’m out about being queer, I’m out about being trans, and I’m out about my writing and my bow tie addiction. One thing I’ve been conspicuously silent on is my AD/HD. Part of it is that despite having ‘known’ for most of my life and getting an official diagnosis in 2004, I… (more…)
Yesterday I stabbed myself in the leg for the 27th time. The first time this stabbing occurred was exactly a year ago today. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I should probably explain the whole “stabbing myself in the leg” bit. When I say that, what I mean is that I’m giving myself a testosterone injection, something… (more…)
