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
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
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
Religious Freedom
They say your freedom stops at my nose. I think that’s pretty reasonable. I’ve never thought rights for any group that can be distinguished whether by sex or sexual orientation, faith or skin color should oblige a private person in their home to be tolerant or decent. They have every right to be a bigot…… Continue reading Religious Freedom
Tell me what you think
I’ve been writing this blog for almost seven months. A very few people have made comments, and I thank you for them! I made a simple poll for you to vote on so I can get a sense of what people think about at least the trans posts. Please feel free to comment as well.…… Continue reading Tell me what you think
Why Me
Why you? Why me? Why any of us. It would be hard for me to believe at this point that any of us has not struggled with that question. Nor does it necessarily help to find reasons. If someone tested you tomorrow and said you had a smaller BSTc area like other TG people (postmortem…… Continue reading Why Me
Do We Deceive
This is repeated with changes from a post I made to a trans forum. I was happy with the writing and thought it might help those who struggle with having waited all their lives to tell the truth. Edits: Italics are additions and strikethroughs are removals. We deny things to ourselves, we take truths and fold them…… Continue reading Do We Deceive
Are we women?
I’ve written before why we are, why people feel we aren’t, but are we? It isn’t an easy topic. It’s fraught with jagged rocks that will rend you from stem to stern. It might be at the crux of what we do by transitioning, but perhaps the other question is, is it? These days if…… Continue reading Are we women?
Changing Masks
When we first transition we challenge our friends, acquaintances, coworkers, and families to now see us differently. We ask that they call us by a different name, consider us as another gender; a gender we may long have felt internally, but not one they saw before their eyes. I’ve mentioned before that for some of…… Continue reading Changing Masks
