When I was young, I would think about the things I thought I would need to be beautiful. A gorgeous wig, makeup, lingerie, a dress, and heels were always on the list. As I grew older, I started to think about the things I needed to... ah, minimize or downplay. Things like my adam's apple, … Continue reading Our Feminine Flaw
Repost from Glaad.org: Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998.

I recently received an email from a t-girl who has started to venture out into the world en femme when she experienced something that was a bit of a surprise to her. Normally in male mode she felt very confident, but en femme she felt... insecure. After she mentioned it, I started to think about … Continue reading In Her Shoes
Yesterday my friend Shannonlee did a photo shoot for En Femme's new fall/winter line.

I am hoping for some advice on taking my sister in law shopping for the first time. She recently transitioned and has asked for my help going shopping for more feminine clothing, not that I'm a fashionista by any means. I am so excited to bond with her in this way but I want to … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Yesterday was the very first MN T-Girls Halloween party! I think for many of us Halloween was one of the first times we dressed up in public. I grew up wanting to be a princess and I always thought Halloween would be a perfect opportunity to do so. Even though I no longer need a … Continue reading T-Girls and T-Ghouls!
