I get a lot of emails from girls like me and it never surprises me how similar our experiences are. For most of us, we started dressing when we were younger and whether it was conscience or instinctive, we knew we had to hide this. Some of us felt shame, some of us were embarrassed, … Continue reading The T Word

We all have different perspectives and experiences and our different perspectives are usually based on our experiences. We also have different opinions and an opinion is not something that is necessarily right or wrong. For example, some of us feel that thigh highs are better than pantyhose. This is an opinion. You likely have reasons … Continue reading In Defense of Crossdressers
Every so often someone asks about the division in my lives, my gender identities, and my gender presentations. Usually these comments are wondering why there isn’t more overlap or blending between my two worlds. Some of you wonder why I don’t talk more about my boy life. There are two main reasons.

Although we likely felt this way, and possibly still do, we have never been alone. When I was younger and trying on my sister’s dresses, I felt like I was the only boy in the world who wanted to wear pretty things.

I feel like they make it hard for people to truly accept people like you, me and others who do dress completely and try to … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
It goes without saying that every person on this planet is different from each other. We have different desires, motivations, experiences, fears… all of these things shape who we are and what we want and how we feel. You cannot paint everyone with the same brush, so to speak.

No one, especially someone like us, can be neatly or satisfactorily explained or described in a sentence or two. Human beings are complex, … Continue reading Crossdressing is an Open Door
Life is a journey. I mean, it’s supposed to be, isn’t it? A constant, forward momentum exploration of life and pursuing your heart’s desire. Forever in search of what makes you happy, content, and satisfied. It’s not any surprise that anything we do, anyone we are, can also be described as a journey. We are … Continue reading Don’t be Afraid of Yourself
I fully accept that I will never completely understand why I am who I am. It could be genetics, it could be nothing more than how I am wired. I know I also overthink this aspect of myself. I mean, I never wonder why I like watching documentaries or why I like waking up early. I know! SO boring, … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Sissys
