The LGBTQ Wizard of ID
I wrote this series earlier this year as a flight of LGBTQ fantasy to give my brain a break from a gender dysphoria meltdown. I thought it would be a little more cohesive if I brought them all together in one spot to torture you all in a much more organized way.
I wouldn’t blame you if you stop reading my work after this. I stopped months ago….

Thank you for reading my work.
Writers note: If you have read any of my writings on Medium you will have noticed a definite theme: the incredible pain of gender dysphoria and all the difficult aspects of just being transgender.
My writing has three specific goals:
1. Writing is my therapy. I have a very limited outlet for my thoughts so I write to find a way to process the most profound experience in my life. I need to understand and I need to accept myself to move forward.
2. Being transgender, for me, is a very lonely existence and if I can share some of the things that I feel and think as I go through the process of transitioning with others who are transgender and, in some way, lessen their pain and sense of loneliness, then all of this public exposure of my personal thoughts is not a waste.
3. I write to help cisgender people understand that all trans people want is to be simply understood, accepted and treated as a normal person. We are.
