Hi Folks,

I haven't logged in for the longest time. Lots of reasons, but today things are definitely different.

Yesterday I had my first telehealth meeting with a psychiatrist who specialises in neurological disabilities, like autism and ADHD. As a result, in my email in-box is a letter addressed ...

Yeah, these scripted bullshit questionnaires are a dual edged thing. They represent an abdication of responsibility, and the usurpation of that responsibility by nameless faceless people.

The words guidelines and policy have gained far too much power in recent times. Guidelines are really railway ...

Thank you very much, Valery. That was the good laugh I really needed.

I think there's a couple of things here.

First is even though I have read you talking about the new standard in various places, it just never occurred to me that what you were saying applied to me. Maybe that's to do with me being on the autism spectrum. Who can know? Anyway, it's a trait that's ...

Hi All,

Last Friday I finally got to meet with the psychologist who's going to be writing my WPATH letter for surgery. At the end of the session, she asked me to talk about something she referred to as my "transition" over the last year. To be honest, I just sort of sat there with this bemused ...

For reasons that remain unclear, I don't really see the ...

Hya,

My own take on this is to feel your way, and tread gently. Everyone is an individual, even your brothers and sisters. I'm going through exactly the same sorts of issues myself. However, one thing I realise is that my elder brother and I, even though we lived through very similar experiences ...

Q. How many people would it take to change the world?

A. Three. Two to hold the ladder, and one to turn the globe.

I would have to fall into the classification of 'size queen'. But, I also understand what the ancient Greek aesthetic of the male body was about. A man with very small genitals, who is otherwise fit and healthy does look pretty damn fine, if you ask me. The way the abdominal muscles enhance the look ...

Hi,

Indeed, the sense of shame you feel is not unique to you. I think it stems from us being primates, with a very strong sense of societal bonds. However, in our evolutionary path, we've become just barely smart enough to realise others of our kind can think badly of us. (We might be good a tools ...
