Stephie’s Fourth, Yay!

I have now been (as of 11/10/22) Stephie for four years. Sometimes long an trying. Sometimes trying. Sometimes just being me. I started my transition in July of 2019. And, I started this blog a month later. Being Stephie has brought on different kinds of issues in my life along with the usual ones. It’s […]

They Should Welcome Us

Who should welcome whom? Why the anti-transgender section of the radical feminists should welcome transgender women. Because transgender women along with other transgender and gender non-conforming persons break the gender binary boundaries and rules for being a women imposed by others. Can this answer be defended? I believe it can, and I am going to […]

Sex and Gender

This post will take a look at sex and gender. I have previously written in (The Gender Binary?) that they are independent concepts (i.e. sex does not equal gender). I did not examine this in much detail there; here I will attempt to elucidate the independence of the two. I plan to cover what sex […]

Why is the language used by Women so Often denigrated

The idea for this post came to me while reading Making Sense of “Bad English”: An Introduction to Language Attitudes and Ideologies by Elizabeth Peterson. One of the major points of the book is that those who do not use standardize English are discriminate for their use of “bad” English. But, clearly those who most […]

Mailed

So, this morning (9/23/22) I mailed off to Social Security all the necessary paperwork and documents for them to change my sex marker. This change will eventually go to my Medicare and Medicaid accounts, and so future providers need not know of the difference between feminine name and male sex marker. This should lead to […]

Personhood and Being a Transgender Person

This post will focus on the concept of personhood, and how it figures into moral regard. Further it will be explored how this ties together with being a transgender or gender diverse person, who are often denied personhood from those who hold transphobic views, especially religious bigots and those feminists who deny transgender persons existence. […]

More Thoughts on Passing

I originally wrote Saying “Fuck” to Passing over a year ago in December of 2020, where I discussed issues relating to the notion of “passing.” In addition I wrote about my attitude concerning it, and how successful I was in adhering to it. This post will look at my current thoughts on the whole “passing” thing, […]

Two Years of Feminization hormone TreatmenT

So this is my two years (actually 2+) on hrt (more popular usage) report. Yes, it sounds clinical, and it is meant to be. I have been treated with Estradiol and Spironolactone for two years now. You can compare this discussion to my first year on hrt (One Year on HRT). I will be using the […]

Neck Surgery

I recently had neck surgery for the third time. There was one little big! difference—my label, which goes on all the forms, uses an “F” to mark my sex: NAME: W*******, STEPHIE IACT#: 18362SEX: FDOB: 06/17/59AGE: 62DR: MOSKOWITZ,NATHANDOS: 03/25/22MD I actually didn’t realize this until several days of being home. But it was a psychological […]
