• Beginning Phase 2

  by Rachel Maxwell May 10, 2014
  Forgive me, it has been several months since my last entry. Part of the reason is that not much was actually going on that pertains to transition. I'm not sure that many want to hear about getting passed an excellent bill of health, and being taken off one medication or weight loss. I'm sure the two...

• It officially begins...

  by Rachel Maxwell March 7, 2014
  Well, I wish I could say that it has been quite a week, so I guess that I will! It's been quite a week! Most of the week was a bit boring, but two things happened. The first thing was registering a new company. I am now in the business of offering IT and Network Support as well as software and web d...

• Quick update

  by Rachel Maxwell February 18, 2014
  Hey all! It has been a while since I had any news about what's been going on with my transition. I saw the psychologist with my friend (ex-wife) along for some Q&A. Apparently, according to her, I never acted very manly. Something which she didn't much care for. It made both of us unhappy people. As...

• The saga continues

  by Rachel Maxwell January 14, 2014
  Okay, so. I just had two appointments today both with doctors, but for different reasons. The first wasn't very happy that my blood sugar was higher than last time. A full point higher in fact. Yes, I take full credit for that. Having a poor financial situation at the moment is really getting on my ...

• Working for an Adult Shop

  by Rachel Maxwell January 3, 2014
  I suppose that many of you would think it is super exciting to work in an Adult shop. However, after 8 years, nothing surprises or excites. I still remember the first time I went inside. It was when my ex-wive was managing the place. The owner was away in Denmark, living the life of a wannabe playbo...

• Coming out one by one

  by Rachel Maxwell December 15, 2013
  Maybe it's because I've been slightly tipsy tonight, maybe it was the fact that it was 230 in the morning, when I went downstairs to knock on my neighbours door. But somehow. I managed to blurt out that I was TS and he could call me Rachel. We had a good quick conversation and made our apologies. &n...

• Post appointment #3

  by Rachel Maxwell December 9, 2013
  Dear Diary, Words of warning, this entry will be all over the place.Well, the therapist is just full of surprises. I guess I misunderstood him last time. He keeps saying that he will refer me, but he wants to see me two more times. I really hope he isn't trying to drag this out. Maybe 5 visits is w...

• Normal

  by Rachel Maxwell December 5, 2013
  Finding out that you're different than everyone else has it's ups and downs. What does it mean, to be different? Does it necessarily intrinsically contain a negative connotation? Usually, yes. Society wants people to be normal. Even special groups want you to adapt to their norms or acceptible rules...

• Untitled

  by Rachel Maxwell November 13, 2013
  It has been a while since I last wrote an entry here. I haven't been busy. I haven't been working. I have had some good days, but also some bad days. Sadly, there have been more of those bad days than there have been good days. Part of the problem was because of money problems.   A couple of ...

• Travelling?

  by Rachel Maxwell September 8, 2013
    So, last week or so, I went to the US Embassy to apply for a new passport. I needed one. It was set to expire in November. My current Norwegian Permanent Residency permit is set to expire in October. Rather than try go get a new permit  and then passport, (which I'd have to go back and ...

• The Road to Transition

  by Rachel Maxwell August 17, 2013
  The Road to Transition won't be easy. I will be hopefully hearing from one of Norways leading Sexologists, Dr. Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad. in the next week or so. Maybe talking to her will sort me out. Maybe I'm gender fluid. I'd probably be happy to know at least. Get a proper diagnosis at least...

• The Road Less Travelled

  by Rachel Maxwell August 17, 2013
  Exactly, how long I've known this about myself, I don't actually consciously know. Maybe I've always known it. I know lots of things that I hide from myself. Like what you might ask? Well, like this.   I've been associated with the "scene" as it were for quite a while with a long break in the...
