Had my 3rd session on my chest tattoo on April 2nd. 😁 It's looking amazing!! Just 1 more session to go and it should be done, we'll see. My Tattoo Artist Melissa at Starting Line Tattoo in Dodge City is absolutely the Best!!

I can't wait to see this one completed and then to start on a new tattoo project with her. 😊

hey there, idk how active you are on here but I'm a trans guy from Everett WA and I'm looking to get top surgery with Dr Schmidek, and I was wondering if I could ask you abt your experience with her? like were you put on a waiting list or anything before getting it scheduled? thanks x 😎

Howdy! Dr. Schmidek is amazing. Loved her and her staff. She was willing and able to answer all my questions... Even the stupid ones. Lol I wasn't put on a wait list... But did have to wait a month longer as I had to have thyroid surgery and recovery from that first. If I remember right I only waited a few months. I did document my Top Surgery journey on YouTube... Here's the link:

I'm Super thankful for Dr Schmidek and her team at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, WA!!! 😁😁😄

Transgender Day of Visibility!!

I am Transgender.

To be specific, I am a transgender male. That means I was born female but now identity as and am male.

I'm the eldest of four. I was born April 1987, in Texas, to two loving parents. They were happy to have a little girl to raise.

I was brought up Southern Baptist and was Home Schooled from Pre-K through high school graduation.

I remember most growing up in the country. I played in the dirt, the creek, the fields and the lakes! I loved it!!

I graduated high school in 2005.

I came out as transgender in 2009.

I was prescribed and started doing testosterone injections in May 2015.

I went by a few different names but in the end chose a name that was given to me by my grandfather who had passed in 2000. He had always called me Daric (though he spelled it different than I do now) and introduced me to his friends as such. ☺️

I legally changed my name in early 2017 to Daric Lee Weir. I also changed my gender marker in early 2017.

I had my Top Surgery in July 2017 and a Full hysterectomy in May 2018.

Visible for those who can't be!

I welcome any questions you might have.

Good morning y'all,

It's my shot day today... Almost 4 years on T.

I can't help but look back and see how far I've come in 4 short years.

I used to look in the mirror and dream of the man I wanted to be. Now when I look in the mirror, I smile. Not because I am that man in my dreams but because I see a man blooming into so much more than I could have ever dreamt of.

I'm going to pick up my writing again. My story is one that needs to be heard... At least that's what I've been told.

Would you be interested in reading my story? Is my small life story worth telling?
