What, this never crossed your mind? Putting on makeup and removing it, even if you do a minimal job is going to take up about fifteen minutes. Five is about the minimum in the morning and five for cleaning up, but you take a few more getting things set up and sitting down and checking…… Continue reading Makeup – Why do we wear it

Makeup – Make overs and Sales
You’re interested, and I have more articles to go after this, but I thought I’d give you a clue before you wander, helplessly into the clutches of those seemingly lovely ladies at your local Macy’s or Nordstrom’s or Lord and Taylor’s or Sak’s or Dillards or you get the idea. The Make Over Getting a…… Continue reading Makeup – Make overs and Sales
Buying Makeup
It might surprise you to find out how few companies actually make those many brands you see in the drugstore, or the high end beauty store. Sometimes the products are remarkably similar – I only have limited experience, but I’ve read reviews. Two really big companies dominate (look at the actual pages for complete listings):…… Continue reading Buying Makeup
Make up – Foundation and Concealer
If you are blessed with good skin, which could be true at any age, you might not need foundation, or at least not on an everyday basis. Foundation comes in two basic forms. Powder foundations come in a compressed cake that is applied with a brush or a buff. This is what’s in that traditional…… Continue reading Make up – Foundation and Concealer
An Answer to Transgender Bathroom Access
I am disengaging from any public forum on this, because I have found it violates my rule about engaging with zealots. Zealots are capable of disregarding truth in favor of opinion. There’s a difference between someone who says after a discussion that they still have concerns or don’t agree with a conclusion and one who…… Continue reading An Answer to Transgender Bathroom Access
Sexual Orientation
This is a complex subject and for trans people of either gender and either pre or post reassignment surgery coming up with a description is a pretty weird exercise in futility. A man who likes women is heterosexual but if that man transitions to be a trans woman she’s homosexual. Literally that’s true, at least…… Continue reading Sexual Orientation

Take your time Walk the line Between the past and ties that bind you to the ground you must escape to find the flight you must make haste Oh winged bird Seen on high What do you see from the sky? The earth and sea Lay far below And far away you do go Where the…… Continue reading Taking Time
Female Anatomy
Sorry gentlemen, no pictures. I know you were hoping to oogle our yonis, but not today. You are excused if you already know where everything is. What I’m finding out is that people are confused about this, and confused about what trans women get or don’t get as part of reassignment surgery. So first a…… Continue reading Female Anatomy
About T
I’ll call her T, but she could be someone you know. She could be someone struggling with her college lessons, her trauma after a sexual assault, growing up with abusive parents indelibly scarred, returning from a war torn landscape remaking her world, or fighting substance abuse. It doesn’t matter. My T is another trans person,…… Continue reading About T
What’s Transitioning?
Definition: the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. That’s helpful, we know what a transition is. What does it mean for a person to transition from male to female or female to male? That’s more complex. There are at least three different things people talk about using the same…… Continue reading What’s Transitioning?
