NPR had a fascinating preview of the upcoming HBO documentary The Trans List. Directed by acclaimed portrait photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (HBO’s The Black List, The Out List and The Latino List, among others) and featuring interviews and an introduction by Janet Mock, The Trans List shines a light on prominent members of the … Continue reading 11 Transgender Americans Share Their Stories In HBO’s ‘The Trans List’
This is the second set of pictures from the photo shoot that the MN T-Girls had recently. I really like how these pictures turned out, and I really love this dress! These were taken by the amazing photographers at Fotofida who do pretty much all of photos. What do you think? Love, Hannah
When I started going out, I was worried about what people would think of me, say to me or even do to me. But years of going out have really helped ease this tension. The last few years have been illuminating in many ways as I am constantly surprised at how little anyone cares and … Continue reading Explaining Being Trans to Kids
Last month the MN T-Girls had an unforgettable photo shoot with the talented photographers Shannonlee and Melina from Fotofida. I've worked with these amazing photographers a few times over the last year or so and I am always impressed with their talent. They make getting your photo taken so much fun. I am thrilled to … Continue reading Some Enchanted Evening Gown
I am smiling ear to ear because I have been featured in the November issue of the e-magazine Frock. Frock is a free, award winning, bi-monthly, digital magazine that’s aimed squarely at the transgender and drag communities. There's a short bio of me as well as some photographs of my recent modeling work with Glamour … Continue reading Miss November

And although it gets easier, it never really gets that much easier. Every ladies room in every mall, store and restaurant is different. This … Continue reading I’ll Go With You
The MN T-Girls started in November 2013 and I cannot believe how much time has passed and how many fabulous adventures we've had. We can't let such an important anniversary pass without a party, so last night we celebrated in style at one of the nicest restaurants in Saint Paul, the wonderful Pazzaluna. It was … Continue reading MN T-Girls: A Celebration for the MN T-Girls!
I just watched the trailer for 'The Pearl of Africa', a powerful documentary about Cleo, a transwoman in Uganda who is fighting for LGBT rights. Last week I had no fear of putting on a new dress and walking down the street, tomorrow night I will be doing the same. I do this without (much) … Continue reading The Pearl of Africa
I wish I had comforting, positive thoughts to share about this week's devastating election...but all I have is a plea for action. The next four years are going to be very difficult. If the president-elect does everything he said he would do, people from all over the country will have their lives affected in everything … Continue reading Time to Act
Maybe more of an observation than a question. Since only a small few of us t-girls can truly pass I think it's imperative to then master the finer things to near perfection. I think it's more thrilling to be in public with your hair and makeup on point and your clothes and accessories to be … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
