Ask Hannah!
The other day I spotted a very stylish looking trans girl in my suburb (well, I'd be damn surprised if I'd mis"read" her). Tall, lovely mini dress, flatter heels than I'd have chosen (but, hey, nobody's perfect!) and spot-on makeup. I was so tempted to say hi, compliment them on their look, but decided not … Continue reading Ask Hannah!

Stealthing
Fifteen years ago I identified as a crossdresser. I still do, I suppose, but I prefer t-girl. I think bi-gender might be a more fitting label, however all these titles fall under identifying as transgender, in my opinion. Regardless, I went from strictly underdressing to, well, who I am today. I still underdress, but as … Continue reading Stealthing
