"Living in Glass Jars" is the title to one of the chapters in my forthcoming memoir "Like A Butterfly".  This chapter focuses on the days during my transition where I was sort of living in a glass jar of privilege.  A handsome man found me crawling towards my destiny and took me home, put me in a glass jar and allowed me to spin my cocoon and transition in a safe environment.  Because of this I experienced a lot of privileges that my trans brothers and sisters do not typically experience.  I learned a lot of hard lessons, but I learned them through one man over the course of several years instead of playing the game of Russian Roulette that is dating while trans.
