I have finally taken the first steps to living my real life. Up until this point, I had to keep hidden the fact that I was a girl trapped in a boy's body. I always felt like I was wrong and I was miserable my whole life until now...

Or boyfriend if you're so inclined. ;)

What's nice about this advice is that a lot of it pertains to getting a relationship even for cisgendered people. However, I will not pretend like I did not strike gold or aren't very lucky, cause...

The one little word that ruins every conversation I have with people. Whether it's making friends, or going after someone I like. We could be talking for hours, having a great time, and really start to have a connection, but then I...

I was young when I first started dressing. My parents have a picture of me at 2 wearing my sisters slip. I would always play dress up and dolls with a neighbor girl. My parents thought it was just a phase that would pass. When I...
