Not so much a tourist, as...
Hi everyone. I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while. It's probably because in addition to my usual brand of busy, I have also discovered Twitter, and the online community centered around lists like #girlslikeus, #thisistrans, and #transisbeautiful. Whereas my trans world was centered around home and the places I have visited while coming out, now I am part of a global phenomenon, and I have friends everywhere in addition to the local people I get to see every Tuesday. I have been spending so much time connecting, communicating, and learning from peers all over the world; and forming a bunch of online friendships which feel every bit as valid as in-person friendships do. In fact these online connections feel possibly even more personal than face to face relationships though, because we all talk about things that I know I might hold back on if I had to say it to someones face.
