Grey has apparently been feeling the need to write this for several weeks and finally posted it to his Facebook page today. I'm touched and proud that he felt compelled to write it. Since I don't really do Facebook, I'm reposting it here with his permission.

Gender in the LGBT Community - A Message to the LGBT Communityby Grey Cross on Wednesday, ( Read more... )

It was a good, bad, hard, strange weekend. On the one hand, I had a great time with Grey and finally got to introduce him to Chris and treat him to a nice dinner at the Green Goddess. On the other hand, I'm having the worst time with gender, passing, etc. that I've had since starting to physically transition. On Friday night, I was verbally ( Read more... )

Gearing up for a mad Halloween weekend. My current crowd seems to demand a higher or at least more strenuous standard of celebration than I'm accustomed to. I just hope I'm up for it; I want to have a good time, but I also seem to be entering a phase of low energy and sociability, which will not serve me well over the next several days. Tomorrow ( Read more... )

I'm fine, honest. Didn't really eat that day, but didn't drink the Wild Turkey either. Re-achieving equilibrium. In a little while I have to frost and decorate the Cajun syrup cake I made for the Radical Faeries potluck dinner we're attending tonight. I got rainbow sprinkles and found some gold sugar I brought back from Amsterdam. It's going to be ( Read more... )

New FetLife post.

Beer for dinner last night, pot roast for breakfast this morning: The Manly Man Diet. Without realizing it, I've gotten back into drinking training again (I mostly quit last year because it seemed to disagree with one of my medications -- I don't remember what, some SSRI I'm no longer taking). I guess that's what happens when you do all your ( Read more... )

My first real Southern Decadence ... well, I can't hope to recreate the immediacy of my Twitter feed. Possibly a simple recounting of events will suffice: Sex, voyeurism, leather, bars, clubs, the Phoenix OMG, more voyeurism, sex, 4-boy peep show, utter exhaustion, revival, sex, much more voyeurism, new friends, oops dropped my phone in the Wild ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the great feedback on yesterday's entry. Every bit of it was helpful, but yeah, what it basically boils down to is "If they don't like it, fuck 'em." Which is pretty much the way I've always tried to live. Someone recently said to me that my new philosophy of life seems to be "U MAD, BRO?" This was not intended as a compliment, but ( Read more... )

So, polyamorous people. I knew I'd have questions, and here is the first one I could use some help with ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, I know this word is going to make some of you puke.

But I feel blessed.

There's no other word that seems adequate. In late 2007, I was a pain-crazed, chronically depressed addict who literally decided to stay alive for a little longer only because I really wanted to read Duma Key. (It was worth it, in my opinion -- one of my favorite ( Read more... )
