To any concerned, I just wanted you to know that I am just fine! Things have definitely been tumultuous but I can confidently say that I’m a much happier person now than I was three months ago. Many things have settled and while my life has shifted dramatically, it’s at least gaining some level of consistency in certain places. I’m out at work now and to my surprise, they’ve been rather accepting of me! I still hear some people refer to me as “he” when they think I’m out of earshor but that’s about the worst of it and it could have been FAR worse. That said, I’m presenting as a woman 24/7 now! No more boy disguise ever! This is my life from now on.


Things from the legal side have been pretty exciting too. My court order for name change finally arrived and now I can start the process of updating it everywhere else! Won’t be much longer until my Driver’s License has my correct name and gender on it. On a person’s note, even with COVID, I’ve been more social than I’ve ever been! I have so many friends new and old to reach out to that it’s hard to keep up on sometimes! It’s just so nice to have people that still love and care about me, as well as seeing how new people have been reacting to the new, happier me.


For those curious about how this all effects my drawing or my game, I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t been hard. All these developments have been emotionally draining and I’m still a creature of inspiration. If I don’t have the mood graced upon me, it’s very difficult to draw. Still, it does come by every now and again and I always try to get the most out if it. 3 out of 10 enemies in Warrior of the North Wood have been recoded/rewritten to incorporate the new graphics and I still sit down from time to time to get the game even further. As long as I never give up on it, it will get done some day.


I think that’s about it for now. It’s been a wild and crazy life. I really can’t believe this is what my world would come to be in 8 short months but it’s such a huge improvement. I guess this is what happens when you take control of your life instead of just going with the flow forever. Funny how that works…

Oh shit, you're a woman? That's awesome! I uh. Guess I should give more context than that. See, I found out first about furries at all from you with beach Linda... Like a decade ago? Longer??? I was well under 18 at the time but those legal disclaimers never stopped anyone. My point in bringing this up is because that one flash animation led me to the rest of your art and stories and everything else. Between the furry art and you proudly being out about being bisexual it made my "I'm totally straight I swear" in-the-closet ass finally comfortable enough to be something other than 100% straight and masculine. I stopped following you a few years later and started living life as an adult for the first time ever and worked out MORE things about who I am and then I remember you out of the blue, check on your Tumblr to see how you're doing (I very rarely go on furaffinity anymore and don't have a Twitter), and find that you never stopped figuring yourself out either. I just think it's funny how only months after I officially admit to myself I was never really a boy all those years ago I come to your page and find out you did the same. So... I just wanted to say that. I know we don't know each other on any level but I'm still happy you're still figuring things out and still around and kicking.

Thank you. Really, thank you. I’m so glad that for all those years, I wasn’t fruitlessly screaming out into the ether. If I could just help one person discover themselves then it would all be worth it. You’ll be glad to know that I’ve transitioned fully now in every aspect of my life. I still have a long journey ahead of me but it’s all been for my own happiness. Maybe someday, I’ll inspire someone else to find their truth. If they do, know that they’ve got the support of Liz, 100%.
