In the In Between

Taking to time to smell the mimosas. I’ll miss these when I leave Texas. I honestly don’t see many now that I’m out of east texas, so this was a pleasant surprise. View Larger

unypl: on the left he’s reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw,” by Jeff Kinney. on the right he’s reading “Warriors,” by Erin Hunter. Read Diary of a Wimpy Kid I Read Warriors I was delighted by these two the moment I saw them. I wished very much to bring them to the library. Candidly photographing children is an even trickier area of street photography, so I was glad that their parents (pictured at left) were present. I approached them and asked if I could photograph their kids as they were reading. They were so enthusiastic about the underground library when I told them about it! They said “yes! sure!”, both of them in sync with their agreement. What was even more marvelous was the way these kids quietly observed our exchange, looking at their parents the entire time. When their parents expressed their agreement to me, they went back to reading and allowed me to photograph them, all without saying a word.  View Larger

1 year, 6 months into transition as of May 17. Feeling more comfortable with ignoring gender norms, enjoying working stealth, and learning how to use my new societal privileges for the betterment of non-passing trans people, queer folks, and women. My transition experience has shifted my awareness from my own issues with gender, to the oppressive force of class and race stratification and its link to Americanized Christianity, specifically how this affects queer women of color. Looking forward to moving to Boston in August to work on my MA at Brandeis University, focussing on race, gender, and religion. Definitely have had the most drastic physical changes post 13 months on T, for those of you curious. View Larger

theselfmademen: Sign up for a Trans to Trans pen pal International Free Trans and Gender Varient only this is really cool! not something i’m interested in— i prefer not to think too much/talk too much/deal too much with trans/gender issues (healthier for my brain this way)— but reblogging this in case it might be just what someone else could use to create/better their support system.  View Larger

Few people just “get me” enough to put up with my weird moods, weirdness about social activities, and mandatory bed times. Gloria gets it. She’s completely opposite, but she’s about the truest friend I’ve ever experienced. Ill never find another Gloria. Good thing she’s here to stay. Love this girl. :)
