My Story of Transitioning (FTM) after age 50. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. My Life Story: Birth to the Present. March 18, 2015. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. I’ve taken this story and expanded on it. I post it here, as part of the bigger picture of my life, leading to my transition. Birth to age 10). I could not stand: girls who screamed for no reason, girl’s games. Before and during puberty. Dad bought me a boy’s bike for my 12. SDA Boarding High School. My parents moved the family to Alberta...

One Day | Becoming Jordan

http://onbecomingjordan.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/one-day

My Story of Transitioning (FTM) after age 50. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. March 3, 2015. My surgery has been changed from March 5 to tomorrow, March 4 in the afternoon. As my friend Jerry wrote, that’s “one less day of anticipation.”. I would add…. One less day of stress. One less day of disconnecting with my body. One less day of hiding my body (binding). One day closer to Jordan. One day closer to the authentic embodied man I am striving to be. I Never Dared to Dream. March 3, 2015 at 11:51 pm.

Top THIS Surgery! | Becoming Jordan

My Story of Transitioning (FTM) after age 50. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. March 6, 2015. Joanne and I passed the time talking and laughing, and then Joanne got curious and began checking out what was in the cupboards in our little waiting room. When she came to the last cubicle on a shelving unit, she laughed out loud, pointing to what she’d discovered – a can of WD-40 and a roll of duct tape. Is that Plan B? She asked. We both burst out laughing. Finally I felt strong enough to sit up and then st...

Day Seven: Post-op | Becoming Jordan

http://onbecomingjordan.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/day-seven-post-op

My Story of Transitioning (FTM) after age 50. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. March 11, 2015. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. This afternoon marks a week since the surgery. I’m doing really well, some ups-and-downs of course, but the most difficult thing is finding that magical balance between moving and resting which of course, changes every day. I weaned myself off the strong pain meds by day four, and just take them now when needed (twice in the last four days). Over the past week I have had som...

Day Two: Post-Op | Becoming Jordan

http://onbecomingjordan.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/day-two-post-op-2

My Story of Transitioning (FTM) after age 50. GENDER IDENTITY and TRANSITIONING. March 7, 2015. Day Two started out good. I had slept well, and woke up refreshed. Since Joanne wasn’t up yet, I pulled out my laptop and worked on my writing about the surgery. At some point during the early afternoon I decided to move from two to one pain med every 4 hours. That seemed to work, with a few Advil to help (as recommended the day before, by the nurse). This is a very good thing! I went back to the living room a...
