Happy New Year 2017

with only a couple of changes from the post to the NuttyKats forum, an excellent place to be a transsexual. Added comments in parenthesis in italic It has been a great journey through thick and thin. (five years in April 2017) There’s this large group that helped me move through the swamp and miasma that hid…… Continue reading Happy New Year 2017

Female Sexuality

One can make the argument that I can’t know this. However, not only is that mostly likely to be part of an argument that says I’m really a dude in women’s clothing, but continues about the delusional state of trans people. I’m not writing for them, they can go off in their echo chamber and talk…… Continue reading Female Sexuality

Remembering…

We, each of us, have a story that tells how we become who we are as adults and as the people we are today. These are some of my signposts. Some are subtle, but most are not even close. As I transitioned I lived my life again. I recalled times, thoughts and events from twenty,…… Continue reading Remembering…

LGBT Parental Rejection

I can’t improve on this post from quora. I’m including it here because not everyone reads Quora. What Makes Parents Reject their Transgender or Gender non-Conforming Children  

Forgivenes

It is not a simple thing, and antipathy, anger, hatred and humiliation heavily outweigh forgiveness as a force for the good. In some parts of the world instead of forgiveness we have a stone box holding in the anger and shame, too often followed by the death of a daughter or sister who has been seen…… Continue reading Forgivenes

HRT Changes To start with, remember that this is my timeline and yours could be very different. It would have been great if things happened quicker,…… Continue reading From HRT to New Years

The road less travelled by

With apologies to Robert Frost for stealing those five words. One of my favorite poets. That too one of my favorite poems, “I took the road less travelled by and that made all the difference” The road stretches onward, the path is strewn with glass, There is bold destiny, climbing to the pass And endless…… Continue reading The road less travelled by

Fear and Doubt

Most of the time I manage pretty well, stay calm and collected, and provide what I hope is decent advice to you, who are going through this, and those close to you who seek to understand your pain and anguish. All the while dealing with their own pain and heartache. Never lose track of that.…… Continue reading Fear and Doubt

To those we love and love us

There are different degrees of intimacy in one’s life. Broadly there’s family, friends and community. When we identify ourselves as trans there is an impact on all these people, greater the closer they are to us. Acceptance has little to do with politics or religion, at least in our close circles. Such has been my…… Continue reading To those we love and love us

Cellophane

Those of us who have transitioned and seen life “from both sides now” as Joni Mitchell famously sang know a truth hidden from most. Men and women live separate worlds separated by cellophane. A few thousandth of an  inch a part. We think we hear each other but so often do not. If you are…… Continue reading Cellophane
