Destiny of Me Re-Enter
Destiny of Me is a resource for transsexuals and the transgendered, but is foremost a map of my transition, physically and otherwise. This will grow to be a huge complex, full of multiple resources on legal and medical options, generally geared for the female-to-male transsexual community. While most legal resources will accomodate the male-to-female spectrum, the medical section may never be expanded past female-to-male options. Please refer to the updates page if you are looking for recent additions or photographical updates, or refer to the site index if you are here for a specific purpose or to refind a tidbit somewhere. Otherwise, enjoy your selections from the links below!
To explain the choice of title, "Destiny of Me" is a play written by Larry Kramer, an founding member of New York's first HIV organization, ACT-UP. Unfortunately, because he had radical ideas that were too much for the other gay men on the board at the time, he was forced to leave. Larry Kramer is HIV+, and has also written Faggots, a brutal unearthing of the ghastly side of the perceived gay lifestyle, and "The Normal Heart," another play preceding the events in "Destiny of Me." Larry Kramer has struck me as one of the most innovative and critical gay men in New York's community, and I shall admire him for going against the grain, so to speak.
Before
anyone is offended or misled, I must make the disclaimer that Joey Hayes is
not my legal name. Because I am living in nearly complete stealth, including at my high school, with few medical exceptions and close friends, I chose not to use my legal name, and take on the moniker Joey Marshall Hayes. His name is wholly a creation of my own. All pictures of transition and surgery are my own and shall be copyrighted under Joey Hayes, as are any writings not noted to other sources.
