I’m a man in his mid-late twenties who is a proud Father to a ten year old boy and a loving Husband to his Mother. I also happen to suffer from transsexualism, which for various reasons I view as a medical condition. This blog is a place to share the musings and nuances of being a Father who happens to be trans.

My chest, however many years post-op I am now. Need to get my nips re-rattooed still, but I am lazy and still never go shirtless in public so it doesn’t really matter at this point.
It’s heavily cropped cos I have tattoos I don’t wish to publish. Apologies. Not as buff as I used to be, but you get that ..read more

Ayo, I’m still alive lol.
I still work in Mental Health, but now for the state government. K is in 12th grade. What a trip. I turned 35 this year. Still married to the love of my life. Still stealth.
So much has changed, yet nothing all at the same time ..read more

This is something I have wanted to address for a little while now, but not had the time to do so properly.
When I first had chest surgery I was reluctant to treat my scars for the first few months. After that I attempted to use various scar treatments in order to lessen the red coloring and slightly raised nature of my scars. This didn’t have much of a visible effect due to my inconsistency; I found massaging my scars triggering in a horrible way. I also had very prominent stretch marks on my chest due to years of horrible binding methods.

It’s been a while as per usual.
K is now 16, what a trip! He’s such a good kid. I’m very blessed.
My career is progressing nicely and I finally feel like I’ve found my niche in the world as a Mental Health worker.
I’ve been renovating our kitchen in between work and professional development, and thankfully I’m almost done. It’s felt like a long haul.
I’m still almost 100% stealth, including at work - however occasionally I’ll out myself if it’s relevant and safe. I’m not as guarded as I used to be on that front, but still not out in general. It’s not relevant.
Bottom dysphoria is still at an a ..read more

Ugh. K has to be circumcised for medical reasons the poor dude. At 15 years of age it’s a bit of a delicate topic for him, but thankfully we have an open dialogue about this kind of stuff.
He’s being pretty good about it all tbh. Poor dude ..read more

My best recommendation is to seek help from a Mental Health professional such as a psychologist or psychiatrist.
It’s also awesome that you have the self-awareness to contemplate this prior to starting hormones etc. Nice work ..read more

2020.
Approaching 15 years on T, 7 married.
Half of the country is on fire and it’s terrifying.
K is currently 15. Also, he came out to us as Bisexual a few months back. He’s had a boyfriend ever since and it’s a bit endearing.
Our careers are progressing, K enters 10th grade this school year and I’m still around to see it all.
That last bit constantly amazes me ..read more

So, K has been having serious medical issues for about a year now.
We’ve seen countless specialists, GP’s, been to several different hospitals, he’s had exploratory procedures and scans and MRI’s… and they still don’t know what’s going on. Long story short, Mr. K has blood in his urine, almost constantly. It’s terrifying not only for him (as though a 15 year old dude wants to pull his junk out, pee into cups and have a camera shoved up his urethra?!) but we are legit petrified.
Trying to maintain a brave front for him is exhausting, and my Wife and I are holding each other up. I’m so lucky ..read more
