For some reason over the past several years I have read a lot of posts (really) from other transwomen, either those in their journey of discovery to find out what they need, in transition, or afterward. All too often I see a lack of perspective. But this isn’t limited to trans people, it is exploited…… Continue reading Pain and Suffering

Makeup and the New Girl
A transgender female, whether a transwoman (one who wishes to live full time or part time female) or a cross dresser (one who fundamentally still identifies as male but finds some relief and comfort in dressing as a female), needs to understand how to use makeup. The world has become a much more tolerant place,…… Continue reading Makeup and the New Girl
Venturing Forth
Folks who haven’t been through this probably see trans women from the point where they’ve come out and are full time. They may be polished, or not, but I guaranty that this is not her first time appearing in public “en femme” as it is known, or in “female mode” (as opposed to male mode).…… Continue reading Venturing Forth

Yet it wasn’t so much my bent in terms of feeling comfort, so perhaps that’s a major reason I never seriously pursued…… Continue reading Dancing and Crafts and Coping
Teens and Twenties
I shall not spend a great deal of time on my growing up. Much of what I have to share about the journey is that which has happened over the last ten to fifteen years. But there were, perhaps a few details. The boy grew and his feelings about this strange body did not change.…… Continue reading Teens and Twenties
In the beginning
It was a speck of dust far too small for the eye to see. It floated on breezes and was driven before gales along with thousands, millions of its fellows until it reached a cloud. The season being winter, the little dust speck was bounced about by feisty water molecules in their endless dance, but…… Continue reading In the beginning
