Sour Apple Days

I am blessed in many ways. I sit here, warm, fed, and with people in my life that care about me, love me and  who would come and help me if I needed it. The last at least in part because I  wouldn’t ask for any trivial reason. I am blessed in my transition. Being…… Continue reading Sour Apple Days

Transitioning at Work

This is a tough subject. I don’t wish to recount anybody’s exact story, nor give an example with a specific company as a target. All these things tend to be continuously in motion. In a big company, or even in a modest size company your experience is likely to mostly depend on the people you…… Continue reading Transitioning at Work

En retraite

it sounds better in French, doesn’t it? Retired. In French you might think I was taking a retreat, but it means the same. I found myself at the start of last Summer feeling more and more tired and in particular I’d find myself at work blocked several times a day. But I’d get up and…… Continue reading En retraite

We both knew that once I was eligible for surgery things could change radically. There wasn’t much question in my mind that I wanted the…… Continue reading Memories 2015 from October to December

The Realities of a Woman’s Life at Work

Over that period of time  thoughts about being trans or wanting to talk about trans issues have dwindled down to little or nothing. Feelings of being different aren’t much anymore. It…… Continue reading The Realities of a Woman’s Life at Work

Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3

The following is a few weeks later. Our friend S took me out for some pampering. I’m leaving out the piper’s price, such is life, as protection to guilty and innocent alike. Dear diary, most of today was lovely. My friend S and I went and were made over (you can not quite see it…… Continue reading Memories from 2013 – Q2 & Q3

Happy New Year 2017
