| Introduction | I'm a Berkeley and Harvard Div School alumn studying the hybridity of race and gender in transmen of color, third/intersex/trans religious subjects. Currently taking the quarter off...filling the time with reading, working on editing Michael Dillon's autobiography, catching up with my relatives in HI and making decisions for the next 2-7 years of my life. Also love plainchant, hiking and musicals. This blog is a chronicle of my transition from F to M, and other general life transitions...so um that's it in a nutshell. |
