  • Living as a transgender person in the UK in 2024

    So far, 2024 has felt worse than 2023 in regards to being transgender in the UK. Just going out and about I seem to be getting more and more stares and faces of disgust chucked my way. So far, no one has come up to me and said anything but it feels like it will Continue reading

  • Saving money on Tech.

    I have recently upgraded my home network with some very cheap (without hard drives the total spend on the whole network was £65) hardware that does all my needs very well, and all my data is secure.

  • Scared

    I’m going to be blunt in this blog post on how I currently feel. I am scared. I am not scared of going out as my true self, or correcting people when they mis-gender me. No, I am scared of letting anyone in. Every time someone gives me a compliment online, I get scared. Scared Continue reading

  • All it takes in one person to make you feel special.

    Recently I have been thinking about what I am after in a partner. I do know I like to be physical in public, not dirty but things like holding hands, kissing etc. What else would I like though? The other problem I have is being transgender. For most people, especially men, as soon as they Continue reading

  • Happy New Year, Resolutions and COVID.

    Well, Christmas has come and gone for another year. I hope your Christmas was a good one. I spent it in bed, ill. I got COVID 3 days before Christmas day, had it for a week. Worst Christmas Ever. But I don’t like Christmas anyway so at least I had a good excuse to hide Continue reading

  • I hate December

    So, this is my first blog post of December. A month I hate as the part of the reason I have PTSD happened 24+ years ago this month, the other part was the worst Real IRA bombing in Northern Ireland. Apart from that this month was also the month I was born. Though I am Continue reading
