Of course black is the color of sexiness, red is the color of romance, and nothing is more feminine than pink. But white? White is innocence, purity, virginal. And I love it. I was sent some lovely lingerie from The Breast Form Store a few weeks ago that I wore for last month's lingerie shoot. … Continue reading Lingerie Review!
The world isn't EVER going to give you permission to wear panties, or paint your nails, or strut in stilettos. The world isn't ever going to give you permission to do a goddamn thing. If you want to do something, you just need to do it and the world will have to (eventually) accept it … Continue reading Impossible When Beautiful
Hi! I write a lot about coming out and the wildly differing responses and reactions this revelation can result in. Deciding who we come out to, why we do so, and how we have this conversation are different decisions for all of us. I do feel we are obligated to come out to our partners and our … Continue reading Double Genders, Double Standards
Not counting my brother, I have not come out to any of the men in my life, despite the fact that my male friends are all decent, good people. They have the same social views that I do, they are friendly, interesting people and they enrich my life. You know, as friends ought to. When … Continue reading Boys Don’t Cry

Hi! A few weeks ago I was getting a ton of Ask Hannah questions. I think for a bit I was posting a question (and a rambling answer) once a day for like two weeks. I love getting questions (I really do!) so please don't stop (in fact, why not send one today?), but I … Continue reading You Can’t Spell “Email Anxiety” Without ME
How lucky are we? How fortunate, how blessed are we to be who we are? Yes, I know this side of us can, and usually does, create a lot of anxiety, tension, loss, sadness, confusion, and anger. Some of us HATE this side of us. Some of us have wished this side of us would … Continue reading The Lucky Ones
This is just how I'm wired. I was born this way. The point is I don't think there is a reason I am who I am. I am not who I am because of some unaddressed childhood trauma, my gender identity has nothing to do with my relationship with either of my parents. I have … Continue reading Oh Lord, Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
HI! Some of us don't like tucking. I get it. It's not easy to do properly and if not done correctly it can hurt. Pain and feeling uncomfortable is your body's way of saying STOP DOING THIS. If your heels hurt your feet (I mean, they probably will after a few hours, I'm talking about … Continue reading Carmen Liu Lingerie Review
