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

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

When all else fails there’s always the date. No clever title, no great insight, just some insight from looking back over the past 28 months I’ve been living full time. Three years on hrt in October. I past my four year anniversary of coming out this past April. We work very hard to transition, some…… Continue reading 07/18/2016
Understanding – too late?
Some time ago when I was starting the process, but before I started transitioning, our daughter was living with us. She and I, who used to get along rather well got along rather poorly. She told her mother that I was basically not the same person and when I heard that I was so damaged…… Continue reading Understanding – too late?
The Vagina Monologues
I watch what is doubtlessly too many videos on YouTube. Many of them are educational. Some aren’t, being entertained is ok, it can be a nice way to end the day. The other day what popped up was the Vagina Monologues and I just had to watch. I really wondered if I’d get anything out…… Continue reading The Vagina Monologues
Really, men don’t do that?
If you read the last post I was talking about how M, C and I were sitting about talking about the things that girls talk about. In that were two interesting comments: M likes to hang with guys sometimes because they are just simpler, they are what they are Guys don’t read between the lines…… Continue reading Really, men don’t do that?
Help me grow…
As far as I’ve been able to figure out, which actually is pretty difficult to do, this blog is reaching between 100 and 150 people between wordpress, facebook, linked in and twitter. I’ve been letting it grow “organically”, back following other bloggers, handing out business cards as I run into people I think might be…… Continue reading Help me grow…
The Failure of Radical Feminism
Radical feminism and its focus on classism and in the small on the perceived impact of those naughty trans women on their struggle is quite the thing to behold. It focuses on the “patriarchy” while leaving behind the true victims of female disempowerment, single mothers, especially those on welfare, and women in disadvantaged jobs. In…… Continue reading The Failure of Radical Feminism
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
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
