I would love to draw for you all if I had the time for it. :eek: I love drawing characters that other people come up with! Maybe I'll open up a few commissions a month later on! :D I can't do a whole bunch at once, but I can probably take time to do a few...

Shidoshi and I are mutual Twitter followers, PSN friends, Steam friends, and Xbox Live friends. IS THAT NOT ENOUGH FOR A FACEBOOK AD?

The thing is, I have two of the Facebooks. One that I use publicly, and one that I use... in secret.

I just finished reading this nine part blog series written by a woman, raised quiverfull and converted to catholism
and now agnostic
, about her and her family's journey after her spouse, a pastor (!), came out to her as transgender. Enjoyed it a lot. Some quotes:
The dad who used to come home and usually disappeared into the basement to play video games had turned into a parent who played on the floor with the kids every day.

My spouse talked about how frustrating it was to have this battle raging in his head every single day, his brain telling him again and again that he was really a woman. He told me how the idea of becoming an old man terrified him.

The societal pressure was so intense, usually he would talk about what a horrible person he was to be “putting us through all this” and that surely he could figure out some way to make it through life as a man.

He would push himself to be more "manly" and get more and more depressed to the point of saying that “would all be better off without him”, and then I would tell him that he needed to get help, and he would start talking about getting on an anti-depressant to help him cope.

The conversation about transition “someday” started to change into transition being a real option in the near future, and I couldn’t come up with a reason our kids should have to go back to having a depressed repressed parent who lived as a male and struggled to survive with the help of anti-depressants instead of a happy relaxed involved parent who lived as female.

One of the scariest things that came with transition was the loss of the white picket fence and “normal” looking family. We would always stand out as a lesbian couple and that bothered me. After growing up the odd one out as a homeschooled extreme Christian who wore sneakers with my skirts, I had really wanted my children to have a more “normal” upbringing. But going to the resource center, something dawned on me for the first time. My kids weren’t going to be isolated like I was growing up. They were going to go to school, they would be part of other groups, and we would have family friends. As parents, my spouse and I would not be providing the only interaction and influence our children would have. My children would be surrounded by people who cared about them, including people who could provide that “masculine influence” that our home might be lacking. All of a sudden it wasn’t as scary to be leaving the game of pleasing everyone else and instead embracing life as who we were, wherever that might lead. The pressure was off.

Tonight I got the really strong urge to start wearing skirts :/

I can't wear one at home and I'm afraid to buy them anyway.

Been a while since I checked in here. I'm settling into my life in my flat but I'm still not sure where I am going on a personal level. I'm 30 next year, I should just go to the GP and get started down the long road ahead but I always get consumed with thoughts about how it'll further affect family relationships, how it'll affect my job and ability to keep a roof over my head and stuff. Any girls out there who have supportive families - make the most of it! You're very lucky. And those who don't, I sympathise 100% because I know exactly what it's like.

A boring office job intern type thingy. It's super boring and awful and I do boring repetitive tasks all day but it pays well. I'm only working part time though.

I forgot I changed my gender on my FB to female while I was out of it one night. Several of my friends called me out on it. Hm..what to do.

Dump the fake ones that aren't supporting you/judging you. Sad but it's the best time to weed them out
