Then I found butch and that felt right. The masculine male thing was a bit of a struggle, because despite a real gender incongruence in my presentation in the eyes of others, I had never really felt like I was male. I looked it. At least there was always a good deal of gender confusion from the world in general regarding if I was male or female. But I never was confused. But I do find comfort in my masculinity, it fits like my old black t-shirt. But I am never comfortable with it. I hold it suspect and watch it like it was a cranky old dog prone to biting. In the spirit of this very tiresome way I have of looking at my masculinity I thought it would be great fun to give myself a feminine name this time around. Miss Tick is a very minor character in a couple of Terry Pratchett novels. I liked that it was a kind of oronym. So I decided to try it out.

I’m having such a hard time with it. When I see it beside my words I cringe. It’s beyond being uncomfortable with it. I pretty much hate it. But I’m going to keep it. At least until the fear and loathing of a too feminine name passes or it just gets too much to look at. I am pretty surprised at myself. I didn’t think it would be this hard. But it is. It's so hard that I sometimes feel detached from my own words once they are out there authored by this Miss Tick person. I wonder what that says about me. I think it needs a touch of masculine to make it more palatable. I keep telling myself that tick is kind of male. But really what the hell does that even mean? How can a word be male? I think I'm losing it. Maybe I should just give in and change it.

a play on my first name and i was born in 66

[Tcountry]

Well T is my niickname, even my dad calls me it. It is shortened from my given name and also from "lefty" given when I started sports. My favorite coach shortened it to T and I have been T since.


The country part came from working summer camp at Easter Seals in 1999. Everyone knew me as T and when Fri night came around for our dance/karaoke I was the only one with country cd's... so named tcountry then, that got shortened to TC for the rest of the year. lol


Still fits well. I am good ole midwestern country at heart always.

A very good friend from way back when turned to me one night and said "Luvva, you're f*ckin' massive ..." (she's a good foot shorter than me and I'm 5'11'' barefoot) and Massive just stuck ...
Not that exciting really
