A name change is important – you want to be yourself, and when you’re transgender, your name is a big, big part of it. This got brought up in a comment on my last post, so I thought I’d go into a bit of detail about the costs for a name change here where I live in the state of Pennsylvania.
Transgender Things: A Day Out
Today, I got a message from my wife asking me if I would like to meet up with her for lunch. I hadn’t seen her workplace, so I figured, sure! I decided to step up and embrace my transgender self for this trip.
Transgender Things: Reporting Some Excellent News, For Once.
I’m a little late on the Trans Day of Visibility, since it was March 31, and it’s now a week later. But I just recently got some very awesome information to show.
I am a proud scion of the state of New Jersey, and on the Transgender Day of Visibility, the governor of the state, the inestimable Phillip Murphy, declared it in an executive order as a sanctuary state. This means that if you prescribe trans health care, then move to NJ, or you’ve moved to NJ from a transgender-hostile state that bans trans health care, they won’t lift a finger to help you get extradited.
In addition, about the same time, the state opened a site at https://transgender.nj.gov/ to give a central point for transgender people to get information on the laws, processes, and resources in New Jersey they can access.
This is incredibly good news, and there’s the possibility of crossing the river again. So we will see…
And now, a bit of music that may be a little relevant.
Who is Meliantha, anyway?
Meliantha is an original character of mine, and the stories about her are done under the series title of “Demon-Blood’s Blade”.

Greetings! The newest Meliantha story, Ceremonies and Bindings, has been released.
I’m still looking into the best options for the new OGL-ish world, to figure out what I want to do, but for now, I’m keeping it in the Realms.
That may change later, which would probably mean a huge rework, but that’s life, isn’t it?
The Demon-Blood’s Blade series tells the story of Meliantha, a tiefling in the Forgotten Realms D&D world, and her fights, her friends, and her life. If you want to start from the beginning, you can read it on the AO3 page for the series and get more media about her at her character page on this site.
Thinking about the OGL 1.2 kerfuffle, and what comes next.
So it seems like everyone in the universe who plays D&D, and a lot who don’t, have been chiming in about the Open Gaming License (OGL) issue.
Meliantha: War VIII has been published!
Good day! The newest Meliantha story, War VIII: The Past Is The Thread That The Present Is Woven From, has been released on AO3!
Between all the stuff going on with the Open Gaming License, whether I might need to restart/edit it to move things around (I mean, there’s stuff in there that would need some significant reworking) is still something I’m discussing with myself.

Character Inspirations: Eiko
This is going to sound funny, but back in the days when I thought I was a straight cis man, my inspiration for Eiko was… clothing.

Meliantha: War VII: The Times In-Between
This is starting to get easier again!

Thank you for reading!
