🌙🌟✨ The Bridge Across Dusk ✨🌟🌙

The Bridge is not only a means to cross the wide river of Duskwood for its people but an important symbol of their homeland as well. The bridge represents the journey of life itself, and walking it supposedly was once a way to give thanks to the trio of gods that watch over the lands of eternal spring.

From Boy to Man in the Pacific Northwest by Drew Lewis (source: Issue #40 of FTM International published in March 1998)

Image 1: From Boy to Man in the Pacific Northwest by Drew Lewis

Image 2: Before I started my transition I thought the hardest part would be the psychotherapy, getting “the letters”, and satisfying the doctors that I had filled all the requirements outlined by the HBGDA. Living in Eugene, Oregon did not give me any options in seeking help for gender dysphoria. Being a student at the University of Oregon, I had at my disposal the student health center and unsurprisingly I am the first transgendered person to who sought help there. Of course for surgeries I would have to go to Portland, but I was able to get counseling and hormone therapy through the U of O.
My doctor was able to get me in touch with the surgeons and my therapists wrote the letters so all the medical aspects of transitioning were taken care of. I had already changed my name and the gender on mu drivers license, so the part of the transition I thought would be the hardest was over. The next step for me was to finally grow out of my boyhood and become a man.
Eugene has no TG community, and the queer community is dominated by white lesbians with a man-hating separatist sentiment. My close friends stood by me but when the changes from hormones were noticeable - and I finally began to see what I am reflected in what my body looks like - I began to notice a big change in how I was treated by people who I had always considered friendly acquaintances.
I had always been very visible in this community, but after I began transitioning I was the new exotic strange fruit. Women were intrigued and curious, but at the same time criticizing me for behaving like a man. I found myself stuck in a place with no TG community and almost complete ignorance of the concept that gender is a social/cultural construct, sex and gender are not the same thing, and the labels man/woman are just definitions defined by a society which thinks biological sex determines gender. And that drag queens, drag kings, cross dressers, trannies, butches, etc. epitomize the idea that gender is fluid and can be expressed in many ways which are not rigid. On top of

Image 3: all that, it is even more difficult to explain why I would be attracted to gay men.
Dealing with being a transman in this lesbian community is difficult enough, but also being a black man in the Pacific Northwest has not been easy. Before I began my transition, I passed most of my life as a young black boy. When my voice began to drop and I got bigger, I began feeling the wrath of the racism towards black men. I had always been aware of the racism but racist behavior towards 12-year-old black boys and 20-year-old black men is very different.
With all this going on I’m still the happiest I’ve ever been, and I can finally see what I am reflect in the mirror.
