Back in Bidness

She's back, and she's bad.
Six years, almost exactly, since this blog went private. If you have been locked out during that time, the posts kept coming, though the frequency faltered.  You only missed about 120 posts, about a third of the blog.

The truth of the matter is that the smaller my audience became, the less interested I was in sharing my thoughts. What good is a thought only shared with oneself? Fine for some, maybe, but not for this girl. Deep down, behind the wallflower male facade, lies an attention junkie. My fixes have not kept pace with my need.

I have been considering this move for a long while. Months ago, my therapist wondered why my blog was private. My answer: at the behest of my spouse. I was doing damage control. I have the backing of my therapist now (she is also my wife's therapist, btw), and the time seemed right to step out into the warm glow of the internet once more. Plus, Calie asked me to write a piece for T-Central, and what better way to re-launch my brand? 

If you are new to this blog, there are essentially two topics that get play here: my struggles with gender issues and dysphoria, and the tension that all that brings to my marriage. Sounds fun, right?

If you are returning after a long absence, welcome back to my world, and know that I have missed you. I can already feel the writing urge bubbling in me. I look forward to being an active member of the Blogistan community again.
