Tableau

The hands move, and the clock ticks on And run we do, to time anon For what we will to be Dark night lanes white markings Haloed green beckons us on Arriving by bright sodium arc Beat calls us in to dance our whim Hands and legs give way to sway Emotion in motion, sisterhood…… Continue reading Tableau

Building a full time guide

There’s a new set of pages I’m building. It’s meant to be a compilation and retrospective of lessons learned, advice, and other info on going full time. It’s going to grow over a period of time. The main page is up and the first child page is up. Please feel free to comment. It’s oriented…… Continue reading Building a full time guide

A Lesbian, not a man

We’ve probably all heard the quip, but if you haven’t, the group whit responds to hearing about a transwoman being a lesbian with “I guess I’ve always been a lesbian too”, or perhaps more dismissively something like “Well he’s just a man then, men like women”. Aside from the fact that not all men want…… Continue reading A Lesbian, not a man

Wonders never cease

I keep getting sources of amusement from the fraudsters online. I know I should just block them but the misuse of the English language and quaint mistakes are hard to ignore. I don’t think they really know how early they give off signals. This latest one, supposedly 60 miles away, really? Kinda far to drive…… Continue reading Wonders never cease

Transition’s End

It has to happen with all things and so it does with transition as well. There comes a day when you think very little about whether people see you as a woman. Then another day when you don’t talk about trans issues with friends and see them liven up because that is all you’ve talked…… Continue reading Transition’s End

Yet I’ve heard things over the years, excuses made for bad behavior and assumptions about what some things must be. Date…… Continue reading To All the Good Men

A Girl’s First Wardrobe

I was posting on a forum I’m on and it occurred to me that the advice was useful for any trans women just starting out. This is the advice I would have liked to have had in the Fall of 2013 and I started to seriously buy clothing and accessories. Clothing Buy as much of…… Continue reading A Girl’s First Wardrobe

A Day of Bones

The start, the end The year circles like a snake, tail to mouth Reaching infinity, reaching nowhere, traveling forever without motion The dawn breaks with a flare of horns and we are blinded by the spirit An adulation rises from the crowd that prays for mercy, healing, help The light rises over head and the…… Continue reading A Day of Bones

Getting your Colors

I know this woman C. I first met C some twenty and more years ago. I was younger and she was younger and it was a different time. I knew her name but we didn’t work together. Since then many things have happened. C has given me many pieces of good advice. I’ve taken some…… Continue reading Getting your Colors

Shuffle Down

Age leads to wisdom Some men say Crazy and deluded Come what may End your life in riches Like Midas if you please Remember though later Was like a disease And the world turns round The cymbals chime And the girls dressed in lavender Sure keep good time They dance you to the center Spin…… Continue reading Shuffle Down
