So, I’m in Columbus, Ohio. On something called the Mandela Washington Fellowship. There’s a good chance you knew this already, if you keep up with all my antics. I started this trip off on a good note – with an amazingly awesome Pride parade that made me feel quite at home. Well, as much as it Read more about Queer and self-loathing in Columbus[…]
I have about a billion things to blog about – which is the sort of problem every blogger (bloggist? blogstress?) dreams of – because life has been quite chaotic of late. But… let me not get ahead of myself. One topic at a time. And you’ll just have to patiently wait for the rest. I’ll Read more about Pride and prejudice[…]
I had so much to write about this week. Between my book, having my university degree corrected, and doing the Mikveh ritual to change my Hebrew name… well, there was a ton that I wanted to discuss.

And a lot of these leave me in tears. The pieces are often reflective, emotive, deeply intimate, and with a unique vulnerability to Read more about A Letter to Myself[…]
Continued from Part One July 2015 The first day of the rest of my life. I can’t quite believe it, it’s surreal. Not to have to wear the mask anymore, it… leaves me speechless. And also in tears. I cry, a lot. Making up for lost time when I never used to let myself. I Read more about 2015 – My Year in Review, Part 2[…]

They say that lesbian dating is a lot like finding a job in 2015 – either you need to do it online, or you need to be referred by someone. Dating is hard for everyone in this day and age. And it’s even harder if you’re trans. I’m the first to admit that being “in Read more about Undateable[…]
