I think Stana has been an icon to our community for a very long time and her influence will live on for even longer. She has been a voice and an inspiration and a friend for many of us. One of her contributions is her term "femulate". Courtesy of her website: fem·u·late (fem´ya-lat´) v., To imitate, copy, or … Continue reading Show and Tells

Across the Third Dimension
After I finish writing anything I reread it before I post it to see if, well, if it makes sense. Sometimes I go back and rewrite something for clarity or whatever. Sometimes I realize I come off in a different way than I intended. This post talks a lot about internet fame and the like. … Continue reading Across the Third Dimension
Never Ending Circles
Unless you intentionally resist it, you can't help but learn things. This happens by accident and it happens by DOING. You learn to walk in heels BY walking in heels. You learn how to do makeup BY doing makeup. And so on. One minute on a bicycle will teach you more about cycling than years … Continue reading Never Ending Circles

Turning Point
I get quite a few emails from partners and spouses of people like me and likely people like you. We are on our own journeys but we all experience many of the same things. One of the commonalities is that we know there is something different (and amazing and beautiful) about us AND it's something … Continue reading Turning Point
I Wanted to be Wrong
I have to admit, even at my most cynical, I am surprised at how quickly and frightening things have escalated for anyone who identifies as something other than cisgender. Obviously the war, if you will, against the transgender community has been happening for a while, and much of it was said to be done as … Continue reading I Wanted to be Wrong
Culture Shocks
Oh hi! I did a little interview with Bored Panda about culture shocks that trans people experience after they transitioned. I did make it clear that I have not and will not transition but I do experience the world in different gender presentations and have different perspectives when I am en femme or in boring … Continue reading Culture Shocks
Prom Queens
I didn't get to go to prom but daydreams of it came flooding back to me this weekend. The MN T-Girls were invited to a performance of the musical "The Prom" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and we had the time of our lives. We dressed to the nines and had a delicious meal and … Continue reading Prom Queens
An Email Inbox is Like a Box of Chocolates
I tend to stop looking at my phone at around 8pm each night. When I wake in the morning I start checking my email and go through a combination of work related messages, spam, notifications, and emails to Hannah that have piled up overnight. Messages can be everything from my boss freaking out about something … Continue reading An Email Inbox is Like a Box of Chocolates
St. Cloud Pride
Hi! Community has always been essential for anyone that identifies as LGBTQ+. It's somewhat frustrating to acknowledge that support and friendship and solidarity is just as crucial now as it was fifty years ago. One would hope that acceptance of us would be more widespread than it was decades ago. A few years ago I … Continue reading St. Cloud Pride
