What I want out of life: the materials
I want to work in an office in a tall builiding in a big city and wear suits and ties to work each day. And I want to live in a loft with modern rectangular furniture and walls that don’t touch the ceiling. And I want an interestingly colored dog, bold colored rooms, and a cute car. Air Traffic Control will not give me such things. Well, maybe the money to have the loft and stuff, but not a...

On: being "openly gay"
On Facebook, I saw a video with a caption that said, “Gareth Thomas is notable as the world’s only current professional male athlete in a team sport who is openly gay.” It made me think - what defines being “openly gay”? Is it someone who only comes out to those that matter and possibly other people who thinks it’s their business? Or is it those who make it a...

Rant: not another gay teen suicide
Forewarning: This is an angry rant that most people will probably be offended by. It also contains strong profanity, because at the moment I have no better way to express my anger. Read at your own discretion.  Teenager Commits Suicide; Friends Say Bullying to Blame Honestly, this whole “people bully me because I’m gay so I’m going to kill myself” mess is getting...

On: my sex life
Have you had sex since coming out as Trans? Being that your gay im sure its hard with gay men telling them that your trans. Dear Anonymous person, My sex life is none of your concern. I understand that you’re just curious, however I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t ask about this topic if I were cisgender. Thus, I’d greatly appreciate you not asking because I’m...

On: being seen as attractive
I want someone to find me genuinely attractive for a change. I’m sick of old guys and thugs sending messages saying “hey beautiful” and “sup sexy.” I’m also sick of people only giving me compliments when they see that I’m down. Or saying that I’m adorable. What am I, four? I never get compliments or attention from people my age. One of my...

Letters and Sessions
Letters Remember the letter I wrote to my English professor? During class on Tuesday, she mentioned that she read it and wanted to speak with me. We scheduled a meeting for Wednesday. Figured I’d share how that went. The first thing that struck me as interesting was we met in an open space that had several other professors, advisors, and students within 10 feet of our table. It became...

That awkward moment when...
you schedule your first gender therapy appointment and a friend that doesn’t know you’re transgender offers to take you, then asks what the appointment is for. Said awkward moment is followed by the even more awkward moment when you leave the “gender” out of “gender therapy” in your response and seem like an angry lunatic. As I’ve said before - being...

Letter to my English professor
Hi Ms. (insert her last name here), You asked for movie recommendations, and while I may not be able to offer a specific one (due to not knowing what criteria, if any, you must follow), I can give an idea as to what I don’t want to see more of. Being a queer man of color, I’ve noticed that film examples you provide in class are all very heteronormative, queerphobic in some way,...

Brainstorm: Business vs. Air Traffic Control
Business Very broad. Could step foot in multiple doors with a single degree. Seems to provide more of the lifestyle I’d like to lead. Could combine several interests into a single job. Lack of specific goal interferes with acquiring suitable training. M.B.A. is almost required to move up. Negative job outlook. Air Traffic Control Very specific. Decent pay. Deals with aviation. Could...
