The dates of publication bridge the anniversary of my "big" coming out on Facebook, on May 27th, with the anniversary of my legal name/gender change, on June 21st
Each post commemorates an important step in my journey. These 25 steps are as much categorical as chronological, in that most aspects of transition are in play from the start, and are seldom entirely "finished". However the order here is useful for a narrative sense of when certain persons, groups or issues became most critical to my progress.
Consider the table below a useful "Table of Contents". The color-coded categories represent phases of my transition. Click on the post title to access that post.
I strongly suggest beginning with my introductory post for a better understanding of this project.
