Wow, so here we are. The last thing I ever thought I’d be doing is writing a blog! My therapist will be so proud, after finally giving up on me journaling my thoughts. This will just have to suffice. Welcome to my journey, I do hope you hang around and find some inspiration or clarity amongst my rambling; or maybe some entertainment as well, as I am somewhat known for my anecdotes and story telling. I’ve never thought of myself as an inspiring person, though. But, I guess many of the people I’ve been following since this all came crashing down about a year ago never thought they would be my inspiration either. It’s been a tough road worth traveling, as I transition into Becoming Renee.

So, I guess introductions are in order…I’m Renee (duh?), and I’m a 46 year old transgender female living somewhere in Texas. I have a wife who I love dearly, two young sons, two older daughters, and a granddaughter.

No, life isn’t all rainbows and unicorn farts, especially when you have a wife who never intended on having a wife of her own, and family who has always known you by a different name and gender. Living in a state with their time machine still stuck in reverse doesn’t make life easier either. But, that may be remedied soon as you’ll see eventually.

I’m going to take a different approach as I start this timeline. It’s now May 7th, 2019, but part of the catalyst to what the last year has become happened about a year ago. So for my next few posts, I’ll start off with the approximate date the different thoughts and actions took place in order to establish a timeline. In Transgender lingo, it’s when my “egg cracked”. Eventually, after I shed a few tears gong back over some of this, I’ll circle back around to the present, and we can keep on keepin’ on.

Cheers, y’all!
