I've gotten quite a few emails lately about people questioning their gender identity. Someone may love to wear dresses, but does that mean they are transgender?

If there is one thing I want someone to take away from reading my blog is that yes, I know it's scary to go out for the first (and fiftieth) time. I know we all wonder what people are thinking, but the point I try to make is that you will never know what people … Continue reading Days Like This

Of course, we will never know what others think of us unless we ask them. And I don't plan on asking anyone … Continue reading Walking While Trans
One of the first books I ever read about being crossdressing was written by Charlie Jane Anders and titled 'The Lazy Crossdresser'.

This is the fourth and final outfit I wore for the fall photo shoot. I have to say that these are my favorite photos ever. I love love love this dress, it's so fun to wear. I wore a petticoat to fluff it out a bit and I love how it looks! Love, Hannah
