Is This Thing On?
Let’s be honest… this is a shameless, shameless attempt at interaction. I keep making those. But at this point, I’m SO interested in feedback, I’m willing to dedicate an ENTIRE post just to getting some! Yay self-promotion!
I want to know what you think, but specifically, I want to know what you want me to write about. Blogs really only work if the blogger is writing about things the reader cares about, see. I do what I can to mix up the topics and keep things interesting, but more often than not, the post passes on down the page, comment-less and sad. I know you’re reading them though—blogger tells me you are anyway—so I’m just wondering—where’s the response?
I want this blog to be a really flexible resource for everyone—parents, friends, siblings, partners, and of course the curious onlooker. That’s a pretty diverse group, so of course the blog reflects that—in content as well as in style. Some posts only pertain to parents or siblings, while others are partner-specific, which is why the tags exist. Additionally, while some posts are about general topics and personal experiences, others focus on time-sensitive news, or else highlight an important resource to the trans community that I think you might like to take a look at.
But you already know all of that! I guess what my question for you is—is it working? I want to hear from you! If you let me know what you want to see more of, what works and what doesn’t, I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I write. Suggest some topics! Share some experiences! I’d hoped that this blog would be a way for people to connect—so feel free to use it!

What about dedicating an entire post to name changes?
well i really do like what you read and make sure to see each post. i like it because even as a trans person i A see things i dont think about or B see things i havent thought about in a while. so i enjoy that.
i just wish i could add more topics that i have learned about while transitioning that will help people. just in the past month i've learned so much that i wish your blog could bring up.
i could help write one about name changes and government ID's if you would like. i've gotten more info on that recently. and i've found more info about places for chest surgery & surgery in general.
Thanks for the comments, guys. Spunky, that's a great idea. Bryce, thanks for the encouragement. I'd like to hear some topic suggestions. The name change input would be great, too!
