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

SRS dilation followup
I’ve had a long standing pain issue with dilation. It started pretty early. I had great optimism that second week when I started because it was painless but pretty soon that changed. I’ve grown to understand that my key issue has been scarring and a fissure. The scarring formed a band around the vaginal opening…… Continue reading SRS dilation followup
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
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?
The Company of Women

I’m afraid though that the start had an impact on work and after a bit returning home seemed the better course of action. A nap later I’m still not quite there, but certainly closer to the next opportunity at a…… Continue reading The Company of Women

There are a lot of kinds of bags, little ones that can carry a credit card, a $20 and a lipstick, and huge ones that can…… Continue reading Bags
The Dating Site Con
A lot of us are lonely or at least want to find someone, and there are execrable people out there waiting to take advantage of that to swindle us out of thousands of dollars. I had the poor fortune to waste a week corresponding with one of these folks. Fortunately I refused the hook, but I…… Continue reading The Dating Site Con
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
Why Religion Should not Exempt Compliance
Over the years various religious groups have objected to mandates by either the state or federal government on the basis of religious freedom. When couched in those terms it is hard to object. When we hear this we think of a house of worship and the first amendment being breached with rules changing what can…… Continue reading Why Religion Should not Exempt Compliance
