Trans Log

 I named this blog Trans Log to use it as my personal diary regarding my gender transition. Since I wanted to release a public version of this 'diary' eventually, I never went into more personal details regarding my transition. Even more, as time went by I began writing about other topics; my mom and I moved to the US, and that was a whole process; I went back to school in person, I discovered I'm autistic, I began college, and lastly, I'm now converting to Judaism.

It began to feel like the name had no meaning anymore, however, I recently realized that all of these topics are transitions, thus making the title acquire a whole new meaning. The process of moving to the US, intertwined with my legal name change, packing, saying goodbye, a new language, and culture shock; was all a massive transition, that I'm glad I documented. That first big post about moving encouraged me to write about other happenings in my life and record so I don't forget. Going back to school and discovering I'm autistic was a very important self-discovery journey where I learned how to take care of myself. Starting college, having to drive to school, meeting people, and getting overwhelmed with assignments has been a tough change. My conversion to Judaism can also be considered a transition, going from a gentile to a Jew, and it has been an exciting journey of learning and new meaningful experiences.

So I still intend to publicly release this blog someday. I have improved my writing style and storytelling in my recent posts and I think it makes the reading interesting, but well, one day...
