‘Living in Kingston: An FTM perspective’ Archives
Long time brief update.. more to follow »
It’s been a long time since I posted and I have been busy! Last time I wrote I talk about my experience transitioning in Kingston. Honestly, not much has changed in the past few months in terms of my transition. At least not anything worth writing about, unless you count the extremely spare facial hair and acne! What inspired me to write was [...]

The first thing I want to mention this post is this website: http://www.checkitoutguys.ca/ and say well “Check it out”.

The main problem with binding in its restrictive nature [...]

I won't go into the details of the job itself but in this post I'd like to discuss something that most people who are not trans don't have to face. Initially I was really worried about the new job [...]
An Introduction and health related information »
