The Deeper Side of Transition

Another, deeper, side to transitioning is erasure of our pasts.  Now that I look male, people make a lot of assumptions about my past that just aren’t true.  I did not have all of the opportunities handed to me that I would have if I’d been born with male genitalia.  I was not raised as a boy.  I never was a Boy Scout.  I never played Little League or any male sport growing up.


The Deeper Side of Transition, written from the view of a transman, is a really relevant post that applies to both transmen and transwomen. 

And, I never played a sport and I was never a Boy Scout.  I get it!
