I am a man who was assigned the gender "female" at birth (in 1987), and in 2009 I began a social & physical transition to live as a man, to live as I truly am. XXboy was a space for me to reflect on issues related to my transition and gender diversity. As of August 2012 I will no longer be maintaining the blog. Follow the "About Me" link on the left to read a little more about who I am and why I started this blog.
