There’s maybe 50 photos of me before I started transitioning in 2017. Most of the photos are of pets and random things. Now there’s a huge collection of selfies that document my entire transition. At least once a week, usually 3-4 times a week, I’ll take a photo of myself. Either at my desk, in bed, on my couch, or in my car. ABOUT – MATTIE SCHRAEDER About.

YOU’LL NEVER BE A REAL WOMAN It’s a phrase that most transgender women have heard in one way or another before, during, or even after their transition. I first heard it the last time I spoke with my mother about my transition. “You’ll never be a real woman. There are just some things you can’t change.”.

One year later. As I said in my post about deadnames, there isn’t a distinct line that can be drawn that marks the start and end of my transition. The day that I first started questioning my gender is too nebulous. I look back on the day that I first came out to my then girlfriend with sadness and regret. The day I came out to my wife for REACTIONS TO COMING OUT AS TRANSGENDER Everyone reacted to me as coming out as transgender differently. I briefly touched on this in my post about coming out, but I wanted to go into more detail about those reactions, rather than the process itself.Each reaction can be grouped into one or more of a few categories: excitement, questioning, doubt, indifference, and turning it back on themselves.

ContraPoints, a transgender woman who makes YouTube videos about social justice, posted the titles of her next three videos.One of which is THE POLITICAL AND WHY I’M DRAWING A LINE I often try to avoid the political. I avoid it with my family. I avoid it on Facebook and Twitter. I’ve avoided it with this blog. I quietly unfriend and unfollow people who post blatant political posts that I vehemently disagree with. THE BATHROOM “ISSUE” AND MY LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH No, I did not use quotation marks for emphasis. The “issue” I am talking about in this blog post is entirely fictitious.

Posted on October 22, 2019October 22, 2019 THE POWER OF A PHOTO (OR MANY PHOTOS) I’ve been using Google Photos to backup all of the terrible cell phone photos I’ve taken since 2012. There’s maybe 50 photos of me before I started transitioning in 2017. Most of the photos are of pets and random things. Now there’s a huge collection of selfies that document my entire transition. At least once a week, usually 3-4 times a week, I’ll take a photo of myself. Either at my desk, in bed, on my couch, or in my car. Wherever the mood strikes me. That’s not something that ever happened before transitioning. Continue reading “The power of a photo (or many photos)” Posted on October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 SUICIDAL IDEATION AND SELF HARM I’ve been catching up on a lot of the back catalogue of leftist YouTube personalities lately, and I finally worked up the courage to watch Philosophy Tube’s video on Suicide and Mental Health . It’s a rough video to watch, especially as someone who’s been there, has dealt with those feelings, and still deals with those feelings. However, it did convince me to write this post, despite having sat on it for months before finally posting it. Continue reading “Suicidal ideation and self harm” Posted on October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT TRANSITION I’ve been in and out of many progressive, social justice aware, LGBT, and transgender communities throughout my adult life, specifically leading up to and throughout my transition. Some of those communities came and went, others are still around but I grew out of them, and some I’m still a part of but only visit when I’m in the right mood. The only community that I’ve remained a part of through everything is a small group of best friends that all met each other in random corners of the internet, only to eventually settle in the midwest, and all come out as some form of LGBT. Continue reading “Transgender communities throughout transition” Posted on October 7, 2019October 7, 2019 PRONOUNS AND INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE ARE IMPORTANT I often talk about pronouns in this blog, but I’m not sure just how much I’ve been able to emphasize how important they, and inclusive language in general, are in our day to day lives. Of course this is an English blog so I can’t speak for other languages or members of the transgender community whose primary language isn’t English. Every language is different, and I can’t imagine how hard it must be for transgender individuals in countries where the primary language isextremely gendered.
Continue reading “Pronouns and inclusive language are important” Posted on September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 NO ONE TALKS ABOUT EUPHORIA Gender euphoria is the opposite of dysphoria. Where dysphoria is the distress and discomfort felt by not fitting in the gender that suits you best, euphoria is the elation and rightness you feel in those moments where everything aligns just perfectly. I never heard the words gender euphoria until long after I started my transition, and to me that’s really sad because if it had been something that more people talk about I might have realized who I was far sooner. Continue reading “No one talks about euphoria” Posted on July 10, 2019July 10, 2019 STARTING FRESH – PART 2 I already talked about my excitement about starting fresh at a new job. It’s been just over two months since then and now I want to talk about how my expectations compared to what actually happened. Along with being exciting and wonderful, it’s been a long and stressful two months. I’ve been moving to a new place, preparing my old one for sale, and getting acclimated in a job that truly feels like I’m being thrown into the deep end. The new job has been amazing regardless of the stress that has come along with it. For the first time I feel like I belong as a part of a team rather than either a cog in a machine or a lone developer doing my own thing. Continue reading “Starting Fresh – Part 2” Posted on June 22, 2019June 22, 2019PRIDE – YEAR 2
I wrote a lot about Pride last year, about my perceived failures, and about how hard it was to take pride in myself but how that was changing. Unfortunately, the rest of the past year was marred by even more failure. That feeling of pride and being happy with who I was unfortunatley short lived. My divorce was finalized, I lost my job, and it took me six months to find a new one. In that period of unemployment depression set in deeper than it had in a long time. It didn’t help that I couldn’t afford all my medication since I didn’t have insurance. As it turns out Abilify is an amazing drug, and no they’re not paying me to say that. Though I wish they would. Depression led to my house becoming adepression nest
.
My finances took a nosedive. Things got really bad. It’s been two months since my fresh start . My new job is going awesome, I have a new house, my old one is getting cleaned up for sale, and my sleep schedule has returned to something resembling a functioning individual. I’ll talk more about how things are going in my next blog post, but today I want to focus on Pride, the event. Continue reading “Pride – Year 2” Posted on April 26, 2019April 26, 2019STARTING FRESH
There’s one experience that I’ve always dreamed of and that’s starting fresh. One of the things that prevented me from coming out sooner is that very dream. It’d be so much easier if I could just start fresh, and have no predefined expectations of who or what I was. Unfortunately for me, by the time I was ready to come out of the closet and realized it was even a possibility I was out of school and well into my career. Continue reading “Starting Fresh” Posted on April 8, 2019April 8, 2019 GENDER AND THE JOB HUNT I have been unemployed for six months now, and just got my first job offer since I was let go by my previous employer. I won’t go into the specifics about why, because it’s not really important and there are a lot of factors that led up to it, though my gender and gender presentation was certainly a factor. I haven’t been unemployed for this long since I was a teenager, and the job market now is very different than it was back then, despite many factors are quite similar. My gender, however, is a huge change that needs to be talkedabout.
Continue reading “Gender and the Job Hunt” Posted on March 10, 2019TWO YEARS OF HRT
Today marks my two year anniversary of starting HRT. Unfortunately I don’t have a big celebratory post to go along with the special occasion like I did for my first anniversary . However, I did want to share another timeline photo. I do have a few more blog posts in the works, but they aren’t polished enough to post quite yet. A photo taken on March 10th at year 0, year 1, and year 2. Thanks to everyone who’s read my posts, sent me comments (both good and bad), and gave me precious upvotes on Reddit.POSTS NAVIGATION
