Good morning friends. I am in a very contemplative state this week, but especially today. Today being election day in the US. We have a very broken system, that cannot be denied. The powers that be tell us it is a Democracy, which is nothing but a pipe dream, we are much closer to an … Continue reading Carrying on
So, I have some family that is resistant to using my pronouns and calling me Justice; instead using my birth name and pronouns. While most of you will find it hard to believe that I have a hard (almost impossible) time speaking up when they are misgendering me and deadnaming me, what with how outspoken, … Continue reading What may be…
So, I was asked a few different questions about my experience as a Trans Woman. I am going to try to answer one (or more, but let's be honest, I am verbose, so...) of them every day until I am through them. The first one is: Do you feel like you were socialized differently from … Continue reading A Boy Shaped Costume
So, a friend asked me today why I identify as a trans woman instead of as just a woman, because it seems like I am separating/sub-categorizing myself. I could have just commented, but instead, I decided to write it out thoughtfully. There are many reasons, and it is a choice I made, and make on … Continue reading I am a Trans Woman, and this is why

I also could be just overthinking this, as I am apt to do at times, so please let know your thoughts. If however, you see this as … Continue reading Reflections on Easter

The last 18 months have been some of the hardest, but most rewarding of my life. I realized a lot of things about myself and the world about me. Not just that I am a Bisexual Transgender Woman, that is probably the biggest one, but many other things as well. In all of the self … Continue reading Mutterings and Musings of a Merry Maiden

People today don't like to thinkNo one uses their brains anymore, in fact, they're starting to stink,Everyone watches the TV news,Hell! The U.S government gives her citizens their views.

As most of you are aware, last night was the President Obama's 2015 State of the Union address. It was filled with hope, togetherness, and some new ideas. It was, however, also ridden with inaccuracies. I am not going to say that it was incorrect in its entirety, or that Obama is living in a … Continue reading Response to 2015 State of the Union
