What is this blog?

I will be chronicling my life as a transsexual teenager here. This will include my thoughts, my feelings, my blood and my tears. I hope to raise awareness of the GLBTQ community and maybe even make the world that much safer for us to live in by showing what we’re really like.

Patron Saint of Awesome

Lindsey is my hero.

This girl cleaned out her closets today, and had a sackload of clothing that she didn't want anymore. Extremely generously, she decided to give me the vast majority of it. I now have enough tops to last me for quite some time, and some delightfully tight shorts/jeans to boot. Most of them are a little on the small side (she's a small girl), but that really isn't a bad thing. As a transsexual, I tend to overcompensate and go for a highly feminine look whenever possible, to offset the inherent masculinity in my features and frame. I won't be able to wear some of it in public, but that doesn't bother me so much; I'm practically glowing with happiness over getting such a huge windfall of clothes.

In return for her complete sweetness, I'll be going to the practice for one of her sports teams. She's trying to recruit me--I'll see how it goes. Having a sport in addition to academics will probably help on college applications, but this is pretty much the worst year for me to get involved in something like that. A schedule completely filled with honors/AP courses is going to be quite hectic on its own. Still, I promised I would give her team a fair chance, so I will.
