Happy new year!
This is the beginning of what I intend to be a long-term project. More than just a project, though, I hope that somewhere in my ramblings my blog can touch someone’s life in a positive way.
My name is Kiera Bacon. There’s a J. in the middle, but I’m not quite sure what it represents yet. I have a diploma in Game Art and Design, but I’m currently attending classes at the University of Guelph with no major. I like to write, to play piano, to play computer games such as World of Warcraft, to read fantasy novels, to learn about anything, or to think about anything. I’m sure there are other things I could list, but I’ll get to that later. I’m a 20 year old woman with… Lets back up…
I’m a 7 month old woman, who lived 20 years of her life trying to be something else. There are many things about my life that I regret, and taking 20 years to get up the courage to transition from male to female is top of the list. I knew when I began transition that everything I had thought I knew about myself would be questioned, and I am still just getting to know this new person I am becoming, while celebrating the pure joy that is trying to be who I was meant to be. I’m also struggling day to day with exhaustion, confusion, pain, and depression.
So here I am. I’m looking to make a new beginning and to share my experiences as a young-adult Canadian transsexual nerd/woman who’s still trying to untangle her life and figure out where to go next. Any comments are appreciated, now and always.

I know that we often feel we've waited too long to transition, but 20 is very young. Most of us probably envy that you found the insight and courage long before we did! You seem to have a mature approach to transition as well, so that's a great combination. I hope the struggle isn't too much, and that you know where to get help when you need it.
