Where I've been for... heck, how long has it been?

2. Most of you probably know
me as Jenny. That would
make sense, given my
username. I was once fairly
active in the BoolProp
community, before… well,
before things happened.
Call it a mid-life crisis. I was
even working on my own
legacy, which, with luck,
you’ll all be seeing more of,
if I stay healthy this time
after one failed grand re-
entrance.
This isn’t where I was
SPECIFICALLY… it’s just the
results.

3. Part of what I was going
through involved who I was
to the world. The person in
the mirror wasn’t who I
wanted to be.
I wandered for a while, and
went through a few
therapists. I was fine with
my weight and my
appearance. My relationship
status had never been better.
My grades were fine.
What was wrong with me?
I asked that question every
single day.

4. With the right help and
support, and the poisonous
things removed from my life, I
found it.
Meet me.
I’m still Jenny. I haven’t really
found a name yet. Names
aren’t really my thing,
anyways, and I’ve been
naturally drifting towards
gender neutral for so long
that everyone in my real life is
actually quite used to my new
look and self, even with the
chest surgery.
(Yes, feel free to give
suggestions. No, I do not like
John or James.)

5. That’s pretty much it. My
life really hasn’t changed
much as far as that; just
jumped through a few
hoops.
If you’re not familiar with
the concept of trans*, feel
free to keep reading. I’ve
included some FAQs 
Otherwise, have a nice day,
and I’m glad to be back yet
again… maybe this time to
stay.

6. Q: “So… do you like girls
now?”
A: Nope. Never really have.
The only things I’ve had are a
few different hormones;
there’s nothing known to man
that will change someone’s
orientation. (Which, yes,
technically makes me gay!)
Q: “Won’t it be hard to find
love and acceptance in the
general public?”
A: You’re probably right, but I
had the support built in. My
lovely boyfriend, now fiancé,
likes boys AND girls, and
especially me.

7. Q: “What was hormone
treatment like?”
A: It has the capacity to be
horrible. I had a light round;
as a girl, I was already over six
feet tall and not particularly
feminine. About the only
thing that really changed is
my voice got a little deeper
and my adipose deposits re-
arranged off my hips a bit.
Q: “So, can you grow a beard
now?”
A: No, and I couldn’t even if I
was born male. It takes my
dad a week to even look
stubbly.

8. Q: “So… what’s actually in your
pants?”
Okay, for starters, don’t ask
anyone else that; it’s not nice. I
personally only had “top
surgery,” which means I can be
legally shirtless in public (within
reason, obviously). Anything
“male” in my actual pants is
plastic and removable.
Yes, this means I can still get
pregnant. Yes, this will
probably happen in the future.
Yes, it will likely look a lot like
this picture.
And no, if you see a real picture
of me, the top surgery is not
obvious. I’m still slightly
overweight, so the whole thing
sort of… matches.

9. Q: “How did the people close to
me take any of this?”
A: Fairly well, considering. My
parents are just happy to see me
happy. I’m still far outshining my
sister, who is still involved in
things ranging from stupid to
outright illegal, so they’ll take
what they can get. The rest of my
relatives haven’t really been
informed of much besides “I’m
better,” which is okay.
My future in-laws hated me
anyways, and informally accused
me of wanting to kill “their
precious boy,” when by all
accounts I saved said boy from
suicide himself. (Yes, we’re both
fine now).

10. Q: “So what has actually
changed in your life?”
A: Not much. I wasn’t on
great terms with anti-LGBT to
start with. My ID still says “F”
until I decide on a different
name, as “Jennifer” is just
confusing. I’ve been sneaking
into men’s bathrooms for
years; it’s just easier when
there’s a line. Most of what
has changed has been my own
self-confidence and display
image.
Well, that, and I now have my
own room at uni, since I’m still
physically sort of in the
middle.

11. Q: “Can I have your new
Simself?”
You bet. I’ll send him in as soon
as I iron out the details. To
avoid confusion, I’m just
switching the gender (and the
hairstyle, as I default to the
mullet :P ). This means if I start
having babies, they’ll have to be
aliens or cheated in… or just
adopted.
Q: “And that legacy you were
working on?”
Is in progress again, with a
deliciously horrifying new
chapter I’ll be writing after this.
Keep an eye out!
