The Realities of a Woman’s Life at Work
Today is my third birthday as a full time woman, and for the last six months or so I would call myself post transition. Over that period of time thoughts about being trans or wanting to talk about trans issues have dwindled down to little or nothing. Feelings of being different aren’t much anymore. It…… Continue reading The Realities of a Woman’s Life at Work
On Guilt
(from a post on Quora) We all have our history. My negative self image was about coming out and then about hurting loved ones. It was about other things too. I needed to stop thinking of myself as being responsible for everyone’s life. It wasn’t ok to suffer because I was afraid. It wasn’t ok…… Continue reading On Guilt
Thoughts on Passing Better
For male to female transgender people it can be a challenge to move through the world. If we can do so with a minimum of trouble we are generally happy. Trouble could be something simple as a harsh look or being called sir by a clerk, or trouble could mean being physically assaulted or worse.…… Continue reading Thoughts on Passing Better
From Quora: Do transgender people still love being in the body of the gender they identify as, even if the body is ugly (fat or not muscular)?
As a trans woman I felt bad being in a male body no matter my age or state of fitness. When I was young I actually was in decent shape. Age, thou art a cruel bitch. With a female body that feeling is gone. I like being in my body as a woman. I like…… Continue reading From Quora: Do transgender people still love being in the body of the gender they identify as, even if the body is ugly (fat or not muscular)?
Then and Now – Intimate Apparel
I remember when I was a boy, then a young man and then an adult. All those frilly things were kind of naughty and titillating. The lacy bras and matching panties, the garter belts, bustiers, and all the really lovely sleepwear (ok, go have fun peeling it off your girlfriend wear). Victoria secret had their…… Continue reading Then and Now – Intimate Apparel
Memories from 2014 – Q2
April and I was finally starting to get used to my new life. But no matter how much it seems to people on the outside like a switch has been flipped, to someone like me it’s more that another hurdle has been passed, a big one for sure, but just another one. I had a…… Continue reading Memories from 2014 – Q2
Memories from 2014 – Q1
At this point I was four months into HRT. I had stopped getting sirred by anyone but there were still a few people giving me hard stares. Usually not while I was looking, my wife would tell me about my getting a double take. Me in December 2013: In January we finished a couple of…… Continue reading Memories from 2014 – Q1
Memories from 2013 – Q4
With September came the falling away of those last doubts and fears. Testosterone had lost its seductive libidinous power over me. Getting into the endocrinologist at first was driving me to despair: No delays is a forlorn hope. The good news was that my regular therapist and I were all on the same page on…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q4
Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3
The following is a few weeks later. Our friend S took me out for some pampering. I’m leaving out the piper’s price, such is life, as protection to guilty and innocent alike. Dear diary, most of today was lovely. My friend S and I went and were made over (you can not quite see it…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3
