Since I've got time I thought I'd start by answering a few questions that were posted:
>Which direction are you transgender? Male-Female or Female-Male? Keep up the blog, i'm sure it can be tough to talk about it.
I am male to female. I officially started on hormone therapy one year ago, and now live every day as a female, though I am still officially male.
>Has it been rough being transgender in the midwest, sorry for stereotyping though.
>does the midwest really tolerate it?
Heh, thought that might come up. The few religious people I've spoken with on the matter didn't really seem to like it, but I've never encountered outright resentment or hatred of any kind. The worst I've gotten is had a guy change his mind at the bar when he finds out(though they don't always. ^_^).
I attribute a lot of this to simply blending in. I'm 5 foot even and weigh 100 pounds. I've been mistaken for a girl all my life. 98% of the people I meet don't have the slightest clue.
I may consider posting some pictures(tastful of course) in the future but I really want this to be more informative and less "Small tits or GTFO!".

So that's out of the way
So I guess a little about myself. I'm 25, live in the Midwest and have been living the full transgender life for about 1 year now. Before that was just the usual crossdressing at anime cons and random events. I'm 5 foot nothing and look exactly like my mother, something to be said for biology. I'm very much a nerd of many stripes.
I'm mostly going to post my experiences and in turn my thoughts on the issues that affect people like me. Don't worry it's not going to be preachy, and I encourage open ended discussion. I'll post more when I have the time. So to be slightly cliche, feel free to follow me through the looking glass and see how deep it goes.

Let's give this a shot...
Life as a transgender person is odd. So I finally decided for my own purposes that I wanted to talk about some of the things I go through. It's had ups and downs, hilarious moments and crushing defeats. But maybe someone will think what I have to say means something. So we'll just have to see.
