Posted on January 30, 2013 by thevenerablecorvex

It’s That Time of Year Again!

Posted on December 29, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

Time, that is, to fill out my annual End-of-Year Meme! 1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? Came-out as transgender and started living as a woman! Also, broke-up with my girlfriend, got into a legal … Continue reading →

Posted on September 9, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

How Many Times Must I Justify Myself?

Posted on July 14, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

A Letter to my Girlfriend’s Mother

Posted on May 28, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

[My girlfriend’s mother has, in the past, been blissfully ignorant concerning the details of my gender identity. This ignorance has lately been lifted, and as such, my Nominatissima may face rather severe consequences for her (lesbian) relationship with a “disgusting, … Continue reading →

Posted on February 29, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

That Was Easy

Posted on February 4, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

And Now For the Details

Posted on January 30, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex
