Often we don’t see what should have been obvious from the jump. The story is too chaotic while in progress. We’re not even sure who we are at any given moment, much less who we should trust. The best we can do is take a guess and play our cards. […]

Obviously, we can’t back down. We won’t retreat. The odds are too fright. The fate of the human species is at stake over the next several years. Literally. I don’t use that word lightly. We are in a tight spot that is getting tighter by the minute. With insane global […]
Our last remaining challenge as we close out this transformative year is helping folks understand we aren’t the same person despite sharing the same body. The same history. Now it’s time to tell my story. Her story. The bulk of this blog has focused on Jason’s journey from there to […]
Our life has gotten infinitely more complex since Jason first wrote about his hope for finding a new partner at the end of 2019 and then again earlier this year. He welcomed me into his life a few months later and that hope vanished into the distance while at the […]
Obnoxious and aggressive men avoid me like the plague. I know they are out there. They target our trans sisters and other women daily with varying degrees of icky behavior and quite often sexual assault. Women keep a laundry list of defensive techniques to be deployed at a moment’s notice […]

Once it was decided that we would travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to represent Gopher Pup Tent 2 and the Minnesota Grand at the Military Order of the Cootie’s Supreme Scratch, it didn’t take long for the nerves to set in. Draped around our shoulders like a shroud of doubt and […]
Out in the world and moving freely in our new skin, naturally people had questions to which we mostly didn’t have answers. It was all quite new to us as well. Literally writing the script while directing the movie and releasing it to theaters and meeting the press as the […]
Over the last several months, Jason has been aggressively preparing his world for my arrival. Our arrival. There’s literally no limit on what we can be since we discovered and integrated the truth of who we are and what we’re here to do at this time and in this place. […]
On Saturday, May 25, I took my first deliberate steps into existence. One of Jason’s oldest friends in Minneapolis was there to guide me through the daunting process of turning a they into a she. Claiming my place with power and purpose. I couldn’t have picked a better role model […]
