The Transitive Property: Reflections at the End of a Long Journey
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011 | By Cristopher Bautista
http://www.stanforddaily.com/2011/06/02/the-transitive-property-reflections-at-the-end-of-a-long-journey/So this is the end. I remember ever since I was a young freshman working at The Stanford Daily as a graphics editor, I dreamed of writing a column. And as I approach my last days at Stanford, I've finally fulfilled this dream. It's a bit surreal.
This column is dedicated to you, readers. I admit I would not have gone this far in my transition without writing this column in the first place. I felt that even if I had just one person reading this, one person to be accountable to, then I would do what I needed to do. I admit that part of the reason why I went off to legally change my name, start hormones, get that new driver's license and so on was because I wouldn't have had anything to write about for that week otherwise. So the very act of reading this column has helped me with my transition. You've kept me on my toes, readers, made me take the steps I needed to take that I wouldn't have been able to do if I was doing this by myself — because I admit I'm kind of a lazy person. So thanks, readers. I appreciate it. I couldn't have done any of this without you.
