Eddie and the Heartbeats

I came out as trans between 1994-1996.  I’ve been on T since August of 1996.   Back then I so often felt isolated and alone.   When I first started coming out, I had one trans guy friend.  I was a novelty…

The news broke a couple of weeks ago that Rex (Loren) Cameron had passed away in November of 2022.  This photo is of my original copy of his book, Body Alchemy, that I still have.  I studied that book daily…

2023 is flying by and also in reality we are only a few weeks into it!  I'm getting very close to graduating from Berklee Online.  By the end of June I'll be done with this chapter in my education!  I'm…
