It’s been so long ago now that I opened the curtains of my home playpen. The furthest distance I would travel dressed authentically, as Char, was around the “inside” of my home with the lights low, the curtains closed, and the door locked. I called this my playpen. ...

How did I know I was trans? When did I realize I was trans? Part One
Stephanie Do I Need to Transition? 3These are complicated questions for me, and they have complicated answers. When I first realized I needed to transition, I could have pinpointed specific days or times to answer either of those questions. However, my perspective on my past has changed quite a bit in the past few ...
I was reading about the Christmas season and was suddenly struck with the thought that I needed to write this article. Many of us, regardless of our views on religion enjoy the holiday season as a time to celebrate the giving nature of humanity. And as I thought about all the...
Now that just sounds crazy, but is it? The one who approaches you with a venomous hatred is in fact the one who has been abused. They are the one who is truly inside the cage because they have given up their mind and allowed others to fill it with their own projections and belief...

I have been a fan of Little Big Town for a long time. I describe this band to my friends, who don’t listen to country music, as sounding like “ABBA with twang.” In 2015, they released a very popular and controversial song. Girl Crush is a song about woman who is jealous of ...
If you’re young and you think you’re trans, I hope you feel free to be true to yourself. When I was little I was in a foster home; my foster parents neglected me so I was raised by their dog and her litter of pups. From this and along with a bunch of other issues, my ...
