Thank you to everyone who send me comments and messages in regards to my surgery. It's over with now and I am a few weeks into my recovery. Scars are very angry looking but a lot better than they were at first and will only get better. I am feeling brave enough to perhaps upload some less ambiguous progress photographs soon.
The whole experience was so intense and interesting. It's difficult to know what to say about it all but if anyone has any questions I an open to talk about how it was for me personally.
I am happy to be able to now get back into making artwork and thinking about things in a visual way. Thank you all again for your comments, watches, faves and interest in my work. The encouragement and inspiration I'm receiving from all of you who interact with me here is a huge wind beneath my wings.
On another note, I would really like to point people who are interested in my work toward the photography of abitKnoxie. His images are an inspiration to me and I find his work extremely brave and beautiful.
Thanks again.

What stupid poem could fix this home?
After reading some poetry the other day, I had some words of my own. I'm not especially active on this account any more, but I didn't really know where else to share this. --- Transgender. Transgender. Trans. Gender. Agenda. What’s my agenda? Transgender transgender. I want to be me. I need to be “He.” I’m not coming to get you. I am not a spy. I don’t laugh to myself that I’m fooling you as you look at me Behind my beard there’s a maniac When you’re entwined I will whip of my jeans and laugh Ha ha, I had a vagina all along... Ass. Transgender. Agenda. Maybe I’ll break into your sacred space and And... No, I’m not here to fool you. I am not here for you at all, not even to teach I don’t have to be an activist Just to exist Transgender transgender How strong is this umbrella? Am I changing the world enough? It’s not safe to be High risk jobs never pay Like doctors and nurses fighting gloved and coated But we do them anyway
[I speak for myself]
There are countless scary things to consider when transitioning. So many in fact it’s a really daunting task to even consider listing them all. In a way, it’s an impossible task too, because of the simple fact that each person will experience a very different set of hurdles when making the leaps towards becoming themselves.
Of course we will inevitably share common grievances as well, like coming out to friends and family, figuring out which bathroom to use or which box to tick, being subject to transphobia or fighting for help and support though GP’s and clinics. It’s probably the struggle against these hazards that
[That's not Art]
I’ve always used drawing as a way to express myself. I think we all did as children, before we decided our drawings weren't good enough and moved on. It’s funny how “that’s not how its supposed to look” can stop us from trying to get there, isn’t it? I’ve learned not to let that stop me.
As a child, in between all the drawings of Link, Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog, I used to vent through my pictures. I vividly remember drawing a grotesque mouth pulled into a smile with wires when I was feeling depressed at around age eight. (Although I could blame watching Pink Floyd’s: The Wall one too many ti
[One year surgery anniversary]
One year ago today, I had a bilateral mastectomy on my chest. It doesn't feel like long ago, and the time before it is sort of a blur. I remember how I used to look, but not how it used to feel.
When I first had my operation everyone was asking me "are you happy?" and "is it liberating?" to which I didn't have an answer. Directly after surgery I had a bout of post operation depression which lasted a fair few months. I never thought I'd made a mistake, but I never got a glorious rush of HALLELUJAH that it seemed like I was supposed to have.
In a way, I guess it's because it was more like a quiet sigh of relief. I was never supposed to look t

I hope at least as well, that the pain is subsiding a good deal, I've heard how it can hurt and how much you're not allowed to move once its over. I'm glad that things are better though and I honestly have to say I admire how brave you're feeling. Its quite a thing to see someone in your position who's brave enough to share their process with everyone and be so open to questions, I dunno what to ask really, part of me has the 'no, no asking, it might be too personal' but I think overall I just have no idea what to ask xD
I'm so happy for you, brohiems, so so happy and looking forward to updates of any kind (art or journal stuff, I mean haha) :'D
