My Change

May 28, 2006 01:23

So for the past few months many of you know that I have been in the process of having a sex change. Most of you who know me understand who I am and the reasons I am doing this. I know it is going to be hard to adjust to. I'm working all of this out with my therapist. I don't want to feel like I'm pushing you too hard for a change, but now that I'm taking the serious steps, something has too. I will soon be taking testosterone and starting physically on my journey. At school I was living in an environment that treated me as male. Most of the residence in the hall called me James and used the male pronouns. Coming back here it is hard to adjust back to my old life. So I'm not going to adjust back to it, I'm going to adjust it.

The real point of this entry is to announce to all of my friends (or at least the ones who care enough to read it) that I'm leaving the female part of my behind and I'm going to start living as a man. This means I would like to be addressed by the male pronouns and I would like to be called James. This is my chosen name and it means a lot to me. I will be understanding if you are unable to change quickly and I won't be mad if you make mistakes. Just try your best. This has been hard on me and I know it will be hard on you too. All I ask is that you be supportive and remain my true friends. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. I love you all.

James Robert Mullens Jr.
