I know, long time no update, but I've been busy in a good way. I got married; there's been a lot of travel for work and fun (including India!); and there is the chance that we'll be moving (for work) within the next 1-2 years. Sorry, but my wife is more of a priority than posting here.

Nothing new ...

@freddyde: Why wait? You can make small changes incrementally (though in Germany the gatekeeping is very strict for most medical interventions--I had to DIY a few things). E.g., you can do beard removal, grow your hair out, or play with your gender presentation in bits and pieces (pun intended ...

The next biennial conference of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health will be held in Bangkok in February of 2014. I haven't decided whether to present yet another paper based on the eunuch community, though I have been asked to do so by the president of the organization ...

snowless Russia. Give us some snow

Ugh. We have too much snow here. You can have it. :p

I pretty much knew all along that this would happen at some point :) So do you actually identify as female now, or are you just presenting that way because it is easier?

ou have come a very long way since

the time we met in Chicago last Christmas. You've reached this point by your continuing persistence in getting past what, at times I think, seemed like nearly insurmountable
