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
Spirit
Oh boy. When I started to type this post there was no intention to upset anyone. But upon rereading it I am realizing that this might come off as... offensive to people of certain faiths and religions. That's the last thing I am intending to do here. People have deeply held beliefs and I don't … Continue reading Spirit
Fridays and Feminine Flaws
I don't want anyone to think I am a professional model. And I don't want anyone to think that I myself think that I am a professional model. I'm not and I don't. Annnd I don't want to be. Well, maybe I do... but only when I am stuck in a meeting or staring at … Continue reading Fridays and Feminine Flaws
I Wear Girls’ Clothes
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
