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

Boys Don’t Cry
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
Slowly Back to Life, Slowly Back to Reality
This week I received my first shot of the COVID vaccine. I was in a (virtual, of course) meeting and I was sent an email saying I was eligible to schedule my appointment. I couldn't believe how excited I was. I left my meeting and completed my registration. I drove to downtown Saint Paul in the … Continue reading Slowly Back to Life, Slowly Back to Reality

You Can’t Spell “Email Anxiety” Without ME
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
The Lucky Ones
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
Oh Lord, Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
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
Carmen Liu Lingerie Review
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
The World isn’t Ready
Hi girls! Let's start this week with the cheerful realization that the world will never be ready for us. AND! Since the world will never be ready for us than the world will never let us know it's okay to be who we are. Some of us are waiting for the day for the world … Continue reading The World isn’t Ready
Shattering the Hourglass Figure
I work hard to stay in shape. It gets harder as I get older and it's not always easy to work out early in the mornings or pass up dessert, but these simple(?) things are really how I stay a size 12. I mean, it SOUNDS simple but it's so easy to tell myself that I'll … Continue reading Shattering the Hourglass Figure
