Welcome

I'm not entirely sure all of what I'm going to be posting, but this is mainly to update on my transition. There may be some random writings as well, and I may promote my shop or my music, but this is basically a side blog for fun. If you want a serious blog, you can go to a group project I started, LGBTake. That's pretty much a news source for LGBT people, with some articles that are more like Buzzfeed than CNN. But then again, who likes CNN more than Buzzfeed?
I'm a jack of all trades, but I'd say I'm pretty good at some of the things I can do. I still wouldn't call myself a master, though, because I know so many people that are better. To be fair though, most people who are better than me at art aren't as good at singing, and most who are better than me at singing aren't as good at math. So I'd say I'm pretty lucky to be at my talent level. Maybe it's to make up for my cooking. Like how I have great hearing and 20/15 vision (that's better than 20/20), but a terrible sense of smell. I've almost burnt down the house trying to make tea. Really. Ask my mom.
Anywho, I'm a trans guy, about 4 months on testosterone and about 2 months from turning 18. My voice is starting to lower, and cracking aLl OvEr ThE pLaCe. I started shaving two weeks ago, just in time for graduation. Some of the posts on here will be very scientific, and others will be just for fun. I'm going off to college in September, so I'm not sure how often I'll post after that, but during the summer I'll try to keep you posted about once a week, or more. I say you, but I doubt anyone will be reading this until I'm famous for something or another since blogger doesn't have a search function :), so you probably don't exist. Oh well. This is mostly for me anyway. I like to read myself write, since hearing myself talk is still pretty annoying.

My Stuff

So, as I said in my welcome post, I'm a jack of all trades. This doesn't mean I can do everything, but I do a lot of stuff and I'm pretty good at some of it if I do say so myself. Right now I'm the lead in a play, and I'd tell you more about that in hopes that you'd come see it but that would require y'all to be in my area, and I doubt that's the case. Unless I end up sharing this on Facebook, but I've already talked about the play on Facebook. So yeah, no point in talking about it here. But I am a singer/songwriter. So far I only have three songs out on the internet, and I haven't gotten anything professionally recorded, but I hope to soon. My YouTube has a bunch of covers and all of my original songs that I've put out there so far. This month I'm going to post a bunch of covers for Pride, but I won't end the month with an original because, surprisingly enough as a queer trans man, I don't have any songs related to me being qu...

Realism When Writing About Aliens

Note: to avoid having to explain myself every time I use a big word and potentially boring readers who already know it, this time I've started using footnotes. If you don't know a word and there's a number next to it, the footnotes will either have a definition/explanation or a link to something that explains it better than I can. I also use footnotes for sources. There's still a great amount of debate among most people about whether or not there are life forms on planets other than ours. Sometimes this theory is shot down as unrealistic altogether, especially when it comes to intelligent life forms. Most evidence to disprove the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life is within the categories of "we haven't found life on any of the other planets in our solar system" or "we've never been contacted by aliens." But the universe is a lot bigger than most people realize. The furthest distance that we can see is about 46 billion lightyea...

The Effect of Male Privilege on Trans People

So, as a trans guy who didn't come out until I was 14, I was raised in the same way that a cis girl would be. My transfeminine friends, in their late teens, who still aren't out to everyone, were raised like boys. This is messed up, because everyone should be raised the same regardless of gender or agab (assigned gender at birth), but we weren't and kids still aren't. If you ask a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist), trans women have male privilege until they come out as trans, and trans men don't. To a certain degree, they're correct, but that in no way means that trans women are privileged over trans men, and especially not over cis women. The thing is, my friends were raised with what most people would call male privilege. They were never sexualized or objectified, they were never told what they can or can't be, and they were able to walk places by themselves once they reached a certain age without fear of being harassed, assaulted, or murdered....
