On Trans Feminine Healthcare: 5+ Super Relevant Tidbits the Doc Failed to Mention

6 Comments / Stories / By

Relevant information, tips, and tricks that I’ve learned by navigating medical transition as a trans feminine non-binary person. Some of this information is also relevant to trans masculine and/or other non-binary experiences (in many of the examples I list, trans masculine folks experience a near inverse of what I describe), while some is far too specific to be applicable.

Some Women Have Penises. Get Over It.

1 Comment / Stories / By

I will never be a cisgender woman, and that’s okay. My womanhood is no less valid than any cisgender woman’s just because I’m trans.

Go to bat with insurance companies and demand trans-inclusive healthcare.

Trans Existence and this Crazy Little Thing Called “Passing”

11 Comments / Stories / By

“I dream of a world in which ‘passing’ is a dead concept and people everywhere are simply allowed to be and to live and feel amazing and beautiful and wonderful just the way that they are. Unfortunately, achieving that on a global scale is a long fight away. But on a much smaller scale, each of us has some amount of power in empowering and validating all of our trans siblings.”
