Anyway I was listening to The Moth Radio Hour the other day. If you're not familiar with this show it's a program on NPR where people tell stories about their lives. Some are poignant, some are hilarious, some are heartbreaking. Usually each show has a topic or a theme and it's fascinating to hear just … Continue reading How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Attention

Your Story… by Michelle
I am excited to post an article in the series “Your Story”. Today Michelle honors us with her story of coming out and her wife's reaction. I hope you enjoy it. The beginning:Well, it all started back in childhood. Long story short, I was raised in a religious environment that was not accepting of activities like … Continue reading Your Story… by Michelle
The Girl in your Mirror
I don't believe that "passing" is a real thing. I don't believe that passing is something we should be striving for. I think trying to achieve that can hold us back. It held me back. I didn't start going out en femme until about a dozen years ago, when I was in my mid-thirties. I … Continue reading The Girl in your Mirror
Ask Hannah!
Where can a t-girl go to get a wig cut, styled, here in Minnesota? I would absolutely recommend looking into Creative Hair Design. My current wig (and likely allll of my future 'dos) came from there. The MN T-Girls visited there for a private wig fitting and I looooove my hair. You may also want … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Two Struts Forward, One Step Back
I've heard it say that the world is uncaring, but people are not. Things have never been easy for a girl like us. We are misunderstood but that's not something that bothers me toooo much. I don't NEED to be understood. At the same time, I don't need to understand anyone else. I just know … Continue reading Two Struts Forward, One Step Back
Pink Shadows of the Past
The MN T-Girls will mark ten years of events and eyeliner in November. Amazing. Even with the short breaks we took due to COVID we have had over one hundred monthly events ranging from girl talk over coffee to private makeup lessons to theater outings to yoga. As our decade anniversary is strutting closer and … Continue reading Pink Shadows of the Past
Be Better
Someone commented on a recent post that I didn't approve. It was filled with some inaccurate information and was rather mean-spirited. I used to feel bad about not approving comments but I have gotten over that. I knew if the comment would go live there would likely be a very hostile discussion that I was … Continue reading Be Better
Ms. McKnight and Misgendering
About twelve years ago I started to become active on different forums and message boards, particularly crossdressers.com. These sites were and are still invaluable when it came to makeup techniques, encouragement, gaining confidence, and sometimes a needed reality check. I don't really go to sites like these anymore. I feel they were so important early … Continue reading Ms. McKnight and Misgendering
Busy Bee
This year has been very busy. I compartmentalize my life into three sections: Work/Personal/Hannah Work life is pretty self-explanatory. Personal is essentially HIS life, his relationships, his responsibilities, his hobbies... and of course Hannah's part is trying to stay relevant on social media, Help Me Hannah! videos, and the MN T-Girls. Sometimes one portion takes … Continue reading Busy Bee
Five Fabulous Links for Friday
Oh hi! I wanted to share a few articles about our little community here in Minnesota. The first is about a small store hosting drag queen story time, something I am 1000000000% supportive of. If I did drag I'd be doing story time wherever I was invited. This Chaska children’s store feels community support ahead … Continue reading Five Fabulous Links for Friday
