That's the current month, isn't it? Sorry for another ridiculous lack of updates, but school this semester is about twice as much work as it was last semester... but that's the difference between 2nd and 3rd year I suppose. But I'm enjoying it so that's all that matters, right?

-I'm taking Romantic Literature, Popular Literature (focusing on time travel literature), 18th Century American Literature and Gender Studies this semester. Gender Studies hits oddly close to home with over half the course being devoted to transgender.

-It's great getting to attend college as male. I feel so much more comfortable just BEING here and I'm more comfortable about talking in class. Even if I'm uncomfortable with the deepness of my voice in comparison to the other guys. I really want it to deepen more, because it's a little unnerving looking like a 14 year old boy in a 21+ class. Some of that is facial masculinization as well, but that will happen with time.

-I'm also planning to start my legal name change soon. Kai has become my middle name and I've adopted a first name that's a) Strictly masculine and b)Private (separate from cosplay accounts like DA, Youtube, formspring etc.). The name Kai ended up being more of a transition name, and it served it's purpose (being unisex and starting with the same first letter of my birth name) but now I feel as though I don't need or want that protection anymore. I chose a name that I (and others) thought suited me and that my parents would like as well.

-My cat seems to have developed a habit of shoving his face into mine at 2am. I haven't slept through the night once this past week XD

-My cosplay plans for the next few months revolve around Halloween and Aki Con. Halloween is a nostalgia costume for me... and I'm pretty doubtful anyone is going to recognize/understand wtf I am come October 31st. Aki Con is.... <--- just gonna leave it at that for now because I'm not yet completetly convinced that our cosplay plan for this con is NOT a dream or elaborate figment of my imagination.

-I'm already excited for Christmas, how fucked up is that?

-AND A TAG

Glad to see you going good with your transition (: Im a 14 year old 14.And i wnt by "Nick" early transition and stuff just because it was the boy name of my name.But now i go buy "Skylar" My parents arnt very acceptive so it's hard to do stuff.I would have went by the name my parents wanted which was "Kody" but I've never really liked that name,but the middle name they wanted for me I liked so I go with that.
Your the one who helped me figure out I was trans.So I'm glad to see you transition (:

Do people really hate it when there not called by their real name? For as long as i can remember i have barley called anyone by their real names. Well except family members but everyone else gets a letter switch out or loses a letter. W0w..

I have to say this again: You are an inspiration.

One of the things I love about your journals is your ability to articulate what you're feeling, and to know why you made certain decisions and why, although perhaps not the best decision in the long run, they have helped you through your troubles.

Oh, and don't worry about the voice or the "14 year old" look. I'm 22 and, although I can grow a mean beard, my voice isn't all that deep. I chalk it up to years of singing in a high register getting it stuck like that, but whatever, I deal with it. And I've known plenty of men who are 30+ years old and are still baby faced.

I guess I'm trying to say that you might not quite feel like it, but you fit in.

I'm so happy that everything is going smoothly. =D
It's good to know that you feel comfortable in your own skin now. -^w^- And I look forward to future cosplay! =D

I must admit, you are pretty much my rolemodel in being Trans. I've been pretty shy about talking about my being uncomfortable that I have wanted to be male for most of my life. Although I'm only 18 (soon to be 19), I've been thinking about this since I was 15. Your videos are very insightful and they are helping me with growing more comfortable enough to talk to my doctor about my decision.

I wouldn't worry about looking young... We have a sixteen year old in our (freshman) class, and no one really gives a hoot. Everyone's different. -shrug- That's what you learn in college.
