Warrior. @3intransition - Tumblr Blog

BACK in time: the first two pictures were taken the day after my first T shot in 2012. I was embarrassingly scrawny. My scapulas were clearly visible in a relaxed state, looking like they were going to break through my skin. Not a good look at all. I started pulling weight and put some muscle on my back in the process. The bottom photo was taken last summer (2016). Sometimes I get discouraged about the progress I am making in my training (which happens sporadically), but then I pull out the throwbacks and the results are evident. I am far from my goal physique though. There’s more work to be done.

Life is tough

and then you get over it. You'll either die in six feet of excuses or leave a legacy of decent results.

My summer has been amazing thus far.

#get to know me

Crashed up my whip a few days ago. I remember looking at my phone and then out of nowhere smashing the rear of the woman in front of me. The impact felt minor, but my rear view showed differently; The other car’s bumper had almost come clean off. And my front suffered $3K in damages. No injuries. I apologized to her. The woman told me she was okay but 15 minutes later she began to cry. I didn’t know how to console her, a stranger. As a post T guy with my upbringing, I can sympathize but have a hard time expressing emotion. When someone is breaking down in front of me, they will become hyper aware of my presence but they may find my words minimal or absent altogether. Needless to say, it has varying degrees of effectiveness. It wasn’t long before the police showed up, ‘saviors’ in blue. They took both of our Ls and registrations. While talking to my State Farm rep, I wondered how onlookers viewed the scene of a crash involving an emotionless Black man and a crying, disheveled White woman; Even if she had been the one to hit me, it’s likely that I’d still be read as the aggressor.

The officers returned the woman’s license and info within a few minutes. It took them 20 more to return mine. The Sherlock Holmes eyes the one officer gave me made me question my own clean criminal history. He looked me up and down multiple times and seemed to search my face for signs…Did he know about my transition? Did they find out about my name change? Does he know I’m related to multiple street pharmacists? Will he pull his piece on me? After exchanging a few cursory words, I got back into my unsmiling car feeling briefly exposed. Soon unbothered and petty, I chalked it up as him just wanting the dick.
