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
Fiction writing
I’m starting a story as an experiment. I’m writing a chapter at a time. I’ll continue as long as there’s interest, I have the energy or I think the story goes on. Please give feedback, preferably constructive 🙂 — Let me amend the above. It may be lovely to have someone say they like a…… Continue reading Fiction writing
Boston Medical Center!
This year was to be a banner year for Boston. I had original heard that Dr. Oates at Boston Medical Center had gotten training and was going to start doing MtF reassignment procedures in January, but was disappointed when January came and went. I suppose delays are inevitable. In any case *I* wasn’t waiting – it’s…… Continue reading Boston Medical Center!
On a hillside morning
I saw my love I saw her near With locks of golden shining hair Her head was high Her neck was thin I longed to kiss her there again Down the pathway Down I came To see my lovely lass again She rose up To meet me there With her locks of golden hair She…… Continue reading On a hillside morning
Taking Time
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
Intersex conditions
I’m sure you’ve all read it. Someone saying, well, you have male chromosomes so you’re a man and that’s it, or vice versus, that you’re a woman and that’s it. Biology isn’t that simple or that cooperative. Androgen receptors are not always coded properly because there are genetic variances in the DNA. DNA isn’t a…… Continue reading Intersex conditions
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
