Hello! It’s been just about six years since I last found myself on this blog. I had all but forgotten about it until I got a surprising email from a homeschool teacher. She and her students have been learning about gender identity, and found this blog as a resource! Through their research, they’ve found a few more sites to add to our Resources page.

A Nurse’s Complete Guide to Gender Affirming Care is an informative page giving an overview of healthcare best practices for transgender patients. Its target audience is medical providers with little to no prior knowledge around the trans experience, but the information is written accessibly. The page also has several handy follow-up resources for further learning.

The Evolution of LGBTQIA+ Narratives on Broadway is an article describing the history of queer representation in theatre. This short but thorough article details the ways that LGBTQ+ themes have shown up on stage throughout history. It’s thoroughly cited, allowing readers to learn further about any elements that particularly interest them.

Thank you SO much to Ms. Miller, Olivia, and their whole class. When I made this blog as my senior work in college, you were the exact sort of people I was hoping to reach. Keep learning – you are going to change the world!

As for me – well, I’m currently sitting on my sofa in Boston with my younger cat, Sylvie, sleeping on my lap. My older cat, Goblin, is snoozing on my bed in the other room. In a few hours I’ll head out to my after school program job – the very same one I had just gotten the last time I updated! Now, though, I’m a confident lead teacher instead of an anxious newbie. I’ve been on testosterone for five years, and my receding hairline seems to have gone directly to my new beard. I’m happy, and surrounded by love – I hope you are too.

Lots of love,
Toby
