There are things that we think will never happen to us. And I don't mean giant disasters or a fatal medical diagnoses. No, I mean the small and subtle changes that slowly and gradually occur over the course of our lives. When I was in my late teenage years and early twenties, I obsessively sought … Continue reading I Wear Girls’ Clothes
A New Voice
Hi! I am asked a lot about modifying our voices or speaking habits and the like. I always feel a little inadequate about this topic as I don't give it tooooo much thought when I am en femme. I am always grateful when ya'll point out some helpful resources about anything that can benefit a … Continue reading A New Voice
A Sometimes Sister
I am a BAD t-girl. And I don't mean I am a naughty minx who is looking for sexy trouble. I mean days that are meant to celebrate our contributions as a community usually sneak up on me. Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Visibility and I didn't realize it until the night before. I … Continue reading A Sometimes Sister
Ask Hannah!
I'm 6' tall and weigh 185 lbs. I fit fairly well in a woman's XL or size 14, but my belly pushes out. Can you recommend some sort of belly cincher that (1) works and (2) won't break the bank? Hi! I don't have toooooo much experience with cinchers but I swear on my life … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Well, Now What?
I think there is unmatched ambition that comes with youth. There's this amazing and naïve optimism that we have... a fire that burns hot... until the world succeeds in beating it out of us. Worn down by responsibilities and heartbreak we develop a slow resignation that we are powerless. But that's not true. We can … Continue reading Well, Now What?
So, What Did YOU Do This Weekend?
My first job was in fast food which is pretty typical for a teenager. I spent my Saturdays getting yelled at by hangry people if their sandwich had too little or too much mayonnaise. Most of my friends were also working on the weekends as well and there was something fun about seeing your friends … Continue reading So, What Did YOU Do This Weekend?
Minnesota House Passes Trans Health Refuge Bill
This is wonderful. From Minnesota Public Radio: The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill early Friday by a vote of 68-62 that would prevent state courts or officials from complying with child removal requests, extraditions, arrests or subpoenas related to gender-affirming health care that a person receives in Minnesota. Physicians who practice gender-affirming care … Continue reading Minnesota House Passes Trans Health Refuge Bill
Gender Identity and Experiences
I get a fair amount of criticism. Some of it is very constructive, actually. If I get a critical email and I, well, kind of scrunch up my nose at it... well, it's usually an indication that the emailer has a point. Like, the criticism is so obvious in retrospective that I am annoyed I … Continue reading Gender Identity and Experiences
A Tale of Two Dresses
It was the most glamorous of dresses, it was the cutest of dresses. I spent a Saturday out en femme recently before I met up with the MN T-Girls. When I have a day out planned I think about what I will wear. Sometimes my outfit is determined by the weather or whatever I am … Continue reading A Tale of Two Dresses
Post about makeup
****I apologize for the very boring title to this post. When I have ideas for a post I jot down some notes and a working title as a draft until I can think of something more fun. Anyway, I posted this after I changed the name and well, we're going with it, lol. I tend … Continue reading Post about makeup
