We all get to the point where we are tired of walking (or strutting) around our living rooms. We love the sound of our heels on our floors but long to hear them click on the sidewalk and in the mall. We want to see our reflection in one of those big mirrors that department … Continue reading Just a Small Town T-Girl, Living in a Lonely World
I have written quite a bit about relationships and our gender identity. I have always and will always say that we need to be honest and open about who we are before the relationship is serious.

For some nothing is more feminine than bright red nails, or a matching bra and panty … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
