Dawn

Emerging from the forest Ahead the dawn burns bright Adorned with bright blue feathers Flown through the night To the lake she travels Stops to drink her fill The sky blue lark flies further Leaves behind the hill A tiny seed she laid there Grows soon to a tree Who watches over the landscape A…… Continue reading Dawn

LG why don’t you support BT?

I’ll start by saying I’m not anti gay or anti gay rights. I’m in favor of everyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, religion, sex or any other criteria that’s been used to oppress people to have equal rights under the law as soon as possible. I also acknowledge that what I’m going…… Continue reading LG why don’t you support BT?

Coming Out

I apologize right up front. I can only talk about my successes and failures and what I’d do differently given the opportunity. This is a story, not advice. I’m still coming out to people. There’s no one right way to do this. No prescription. Everyone’s friends, family, social circles, and jobs are different and call…… Continue reading Coming Out

Getting Started

I was looking at a T-Girl’s blog and it brought back to mind those early and scary days of trying  to buy those first few items. What to buy and where to buy it. Will they laugh at me and can I even use the changing room? It really is a quandary. The chicken and…… Continue reading Getting Started

Panty Gussets

Now there’s an odd post title. By the way, be careful Googling it as a subject. I advise against doing so at work – at the very least read the site titles carefully before clicking. I had no idea. I mean I knew there was a fetish, but really? However, my reason for talking about…… Continue reading Panty Gussets

Our Stories

We are who we remember ourselves to be, and that self narrative can dramatically affect how we live in the present. Viewing our whole life as well spent is like having a set of blocks to start from, our whole life as a waste like watery sand. I do think when someone is suffering there’s…… Continue reading Our Stories

Passing

Two or three weeks ago and turned the corner into my apartment building’s parking lot. I found a space and saw a man striding along that looked familiar. I noticed along the path he trod that he was approaching a vehicle I associated with him. I wandered down and said hello and we had a…… Continue reading Passing

The Sculpture

She starts with tiny ball of clay, It slowly grows day by day, Follows plans spare yet Divine, Soon there follows mind and spine, As weeks pass it has a face, And four limbs all joined in place, And so it stays for weeks and months, Growing always leaps and bumps, Then it starts to…… Continue reading The Sculpture

Transgender Access

There’s this issue of what’s appropriate for trans versus cis people. If we face facts we need to understand that the vast  majority of folks are cisgender and their biological sex is not affected by any kind of intersex condition. It is therefore somewhat understandable that we get the simplistic notions that men have penises…… Continue reading Transgender Access

Equal pay, equal truth?

I recently listened to a Freakonomics podcast about gender inequality in pay. I want to say right up front that I adore this podcast and I found there take fascinating. Yet still, what’s the real truth? The literal statement that women make about 77 cents for each dollar a man earns is true, but it’s…… Continue reading Equal pay, equal truth?
