Polls Results: My transition and veganism

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Linus Posted in Daily life .

Thanks to everyone who participated, ya bunch of nosy nellies! LOL.

Seriously, I see that everyone wants to know about my transition and what it’s like. It’s not a bad thing. I’m an educator by nature and trade, and I have no problem showing the world what it’s like to go through this with the experience of half of a life already lived. I’m not like other transgendered/transsexuals who always knew they were born in the wrong body from age 2. I’m more like the country mouse who is in awe of all the things that are different and available to me now that I do know. And I guess that makes it interesting.

The second topic of interest is veganism and vegan recipes. Hey, I have no argument there. I do love to cook and I love to eat (as shown by my expanding waistline — why couldn’t muscles just grow from eating so much!?). Anyways, based on these results I’ll continue to primarily talk about the transition process based on my experience with a few posts on vegan issues and vegan recipes.

That said, given that transition was really big I am looking for some advice. Clean shaven? Beard? Moustache? You decide!

    I think beard & moustache. Why not? Since you can grow them!
    Unless K doesn’t like. 😉

    wryly’s last blog post..wryly: Making plans for U.S. Turkey day – will be with a friends in Buffalo. Still adjusting to the loss of my Mom’s traditions.

    LOL.. She isn’t too sure yet. She does seem to like to tug on my little goatee. I’m definitely contemplating doing a beard similar to what I did in drag. I really like that one.

    And ya. I can imagine how difficult it is to be part of something that brings back so many great memories with your mom.

    If you grow it, I will tug on it. 😀 It don’t really matter how you grow it, Baby. You’ve got plenty of time. It’s not an either/or option…it’s more like a now/later thing. Right?

    It is more about a now or later thing. 🙂 And I know you’ll tug on it. Heck, I tug on it when teaching (I notice I do that pensive professor thing when I teach and pull on my “goatee”)
