I’m delighted to say that our new national leadership team is continuing to have a nearly perfect record in conveying half truths, lies and innuendos. I should hate to be proven wrong after all these months saying that Trump is stupid by suddenly being floored by his stating a truthful and substantiated medical fact, demonstrated…… Continue reading What’s a transgender mouse?

Transgender?
What’s in the name? I’ll claim a good deal of confusion, Transgender, as a term, encompasses a wide variety of behaviors and degrees of accommodation. All these have in common is that they are variants to the “normal” gender binary. A person can be trans and not have made any transition, or they could be…… Continue reading Transgender?
Oh, the Youth,,,
I could be Plato cursing drunken revelers or a modern parent wondering where their child is ninety minutes past your agreed on curfew time. The constant is that despite the surface accoutrements like a wine bottle or a cellphone, the behaviors being complained about haven’t really changed. Roudy teenagers all. As is usual I’m going…… Continue reading Oh, the Youth,,,
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
The Ladies Room
An advantage of having passed some milestones is having also reached a point where I can take a different attitude about talking about using bathrooms. A little more informative, a little less paranoid. I obviously don’t need to instruct other women on using the ladies room, so I’m clearly aiming this at my fellow MtF…… Continue reading The Ladies Room
Self Acceptance, Loss and Validation
What is your goal? This is an important question and I will claim that your happiness depends on your goal. I’ve heard it said that you cannot depend on others for your happiness and I have found that to be more than a little bit true. Yet this missive is not about happiness per se,…… Continue reading Self Acceptance, Loss and Validation
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
On being happy
I would have to say that this is really not a trans subject. This is a paean to the blessings of a good life, and the joy of choosing attainable goals. I only describe my vision of a happy life. Yours may be different. Mine won’t look like this in ten years or maybe it…… Continue reading On being happy
Betrayed by a bit of lace
I was sitting in a chair at Bare Minerals getting made up to try one of their foundations. I’m making the woman who’s doing the make up and another customer laugh. I told the beautician O that I had been to see some one who treats folks like me well, and I knew she knew.…… Continue reading Betrayed by a bit of lace
