I’m on a really lovely discussion forum for trans people. Most of the participants are older, but not all. I started with that group in 2012 when I came out, and if I’m on less now then I owe many people on their a debt along side friends, family, medical and psychiatric professionals. If nothing…… Continue reading Pondering your road

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
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
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
Buy Clothing with Care
Maybe there should be a list of instructions given to every new trans women: Yes, that skirt/dress is too short (that goes double if they had to tackle you to tell you) No, blue is not a good hair color at your age Blush should not look like a giant pink spot! But importantly about…… Continue reading Buy Clothing with Care
Truth Stranger than Fiction?
I just returned from a short vacation. The first vacation I’ve taken since I went on medical leave last fall to have SRS on November 9th and from which I return to part time work at the beginning of 2016 and full time work only at the start of March. I truly struggled with what…… Continue reading Truth Stranger than Fiction?
Being Me 9/9/16
I’ve dated this because, it will become dated. I continue to take stock as things change, as I change as the people around me change, as my relationships change. Life is change, it stops when we die, and not before. I’ve spoken before about what transition is, and I emphasized the mental. I was right…… Continue reading Being Me 9/9/16
Ladies Room Redux
I was having a talk with a gf at work, mostly a funny one because there are some oddities about the bathrooms at work and some other things came up that weren’t mentioned but clearly are worth a quick comment. Speed: When there’s no line and the stalls aren’t all occupied you don’t have to…… Continue reading Ladies Room Redux
Life Lessons about Transition
It’s been almost three years since I started HRT. It is about three years to the day when I returned from Province town and decided that I could transition. Province town had been the experiment in living full time. Starting with my return I came off the small dose of testosterone I was still on…… Continue reading Life Lessons about Transition
Binging and Being a Woman
I’ve had a lot of stress including a lot of emotional stress recently. I took yesterday off, I had a midday thing and I needed some peace and quiet too. I was on the way home, stopped off at the drug store and picked up some sugar in the form of a bag of mini…… Continue reading Binging and Being a Woman
