5/19/2022 0 Comments 3 Years of BloggingThree years ago I opened up a blog on Blogger and started writing. At that time I was still going by the name Nicole rather than Anna and I had just accepted the fact that I was trans. At that time I really had no idea what I was doing and my topics were all over the place. I would write letters that I wanted to give my parents but couldn’t, talk about my struggles with my dysphoria, and also write posts about my favorite video game reveals at E3 and favorite songs. It was unfocused and all over the place. Now, I’ve pretty much found my niche and stick to it. Doesn’t get that many readers, most articles are in single digits in terms of readership, but hey, I’ll take any readers I can get. I’m not going to complain. When I first started blogging, I was pre-transition and very suicidal from dysphoria, along with being financially, emotionally and verbally abused by parents. I had no friends at all. Now, I have two friends (both online). I was not a part of the trans community at all, and now I’m still not really, but I tried and realized that I hated the community because I couldn’t relate to anyone else in it. I was a Christian who was struggling with whether you could be trans and Christian or not. Now, I’m not a Christian (but not because I decided that being trans and Christian was impossible. I stopped being one for other reasons as outlined in my last article). These last three years have been rough. I am as depressed as ever, though less suicidal. My transition hasn’t gone too well to be honest, but at least I’m transitioning. Been out of a job for over a year and a half, I’ve been homeless, I have experienced starvation. But, on the flip side, there has been good: I am transitioning. I have friends. Sure, only two and both are online friends, but still friends. People actually pay attention to me for once which is a major improvement. So, anyway, thank you all for reading these last three years. Here’s to many more.

AuthorHi! I'm Anna, a currently transitioning transgender woman! I started my blog "Ramblings of a Trans Woman" as therapy for gender and identity issues and abuse from my parents and church. Hopefully, someone else out there can get something from this. If you want to talk, just get in contact with me, there's plenty of ways how and we'll discuss the best way to talk! Archives
