Name Change
Heyo! I’m Haiz. This unique name represents a re-birth and a new beginning for me. I started my medical transition on January 26, of 2022 and I’ve had this name ever sense. This is not a coming of age story. This is a coming of gender story.
The Lost Boy
I’ve known since I was six years old that something wasn’t right. My body and mind felt disconnected and I didn’t understand why I couldn’t be one of the guys. I wanted to be grouped with the boys in gym class. I wanted to wear basketball shorts and t-shirts. I wanted to come home with mud all over my pants. I never wanted a period. I wanted to pee standing up. I wanted a flat chest. I never asked to wear training bras. I never wanted any of this. I never asked for this body. Why wasn’t anyone helping me?
700 Calories
I put this off for my entire life until I turned 26 and realized that I wasn’t going to make it if I didn’t face the reality of how I was feeling. I felt disconnected from my temple, confused, and angry. I was shutting down mentally and physically. I’d developed an incredibly negative relationship with food and fitness. I was withering away. My day was successful if I ate less than 700 calories and tried my best to run off every feminine curve on my body. Every last bit of energy I had after I got done at the gym in the morning was used to repress these feelings, and stay strong so that I could get through teaching 24 4/5th graders from 7:00 am to 3:45 pm. This didn’t last long. I couldn’t allow myself to continue teaching children when I was no longer able to show myself love and care for myself.
Recovery & Purpose
I have been in recovery since 2018 and it is my 6 year anniversary coming up next month. My life coach, therapist, fiance, friends, and gender affirming care saved my life. I got top surgery on April 20, 2023 and it was the best day of my life. Years ago I did not know that I’d make it.
I just turned 28 years old on February 11th and I am very much alive. I will be for other people what I needed when I was at rock bottom. I am here to educate, support, and connect with people that want to learn how to begin their journey toward self love in the RIGHT way. Quick fixes in the media are not sustainable and strip human beings from being human beings. I am here to share poetry, experiences, educate, and support. If you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or you are one of our an allies, I see you. I am proud of you. Life is for Sweet Potato Fries and an Aperol Spritz. Life is for cuddles with Tuxedo cats and Lindor Chocolates. Life is to be lived. Balance is the answer you’re looking for.
I Will Not Hide
I am a Trans man. My scars tell my story. I am out and I am proud. I will not hide.
