I think identifying as anything beyond cisgender will probably create a very complicated life. Perhaps complicated isn't the most accurate word, but multi-faceted is the more accurate term. For example, yes, I am transgender, but being trans isn't the same level of trans-ness as say, Laverne Cox. Some of us feel that hormones, surgery, and … Continue reading I am Not

Many of us are working from home, we are limiting ourselves to activities and social visits, as well as countless other small and big things. It feels like the months are either whizzing … Continue reading That Friday Feeling
It's amazing how fast a fashion cycle can go. Some things are popular for what seems to be a short period of time, and some things seem to be around forever or constantly making a return. I am not a fan of (most) high-low dresses or maxi dresses but they always seem to be fashionable. … Continue reading Fast Fashion
