howdy. i'm jesse. ftm. husband of seebs. juggernaut of swag.
i figured out i was trans in my 30's. before that i thought i was just a very butch woman with an uncanny knack for attracting gay boys. i wasn't forced into female gender roles as a kid, which is probably part of why it took me so long to figure it out, but it also kept me from being as traumatized by misgendering as a lot of folks are. when i came out to my parents, my dad was like, "well, duh." my mom was kind of upset at first; she confessed to me later that she felt she was losing her little girl. after she had a while to get used to it, though, she realized that she'd never had a little girl -- nothing changed, we're just using the right words for me now. all told, i've been pretty lucky.
i'm a writer; i write original fiction, fanfic, and comics. i'm jumpingjacktrash on tumblr, feel free to look me up there (be warned, it's full of naked dudes and foul language; also i'm not out as trans there, just because tumblr is full of people who politicize trans folks and i don't want to deal with the clusterfracas). i also like knitting, science, outdoor stuff, and cats. well, all animals really. especially the weird-looking ones. cuttlefish are adorable, yo. and jumping spiders. and bats, do you know how cute bats are, wow.
i apologize in advance if i slip up and swear here. it's been a while since i've been in an environment where anyone cares, and my default language is gutter like whoa. just tell me if i mess up and i'll edit it.
