I think a lot of us can relate to the duality that our lives have. Of course there is the duality in gender identities. If I want to get overly specific, I identify as bi-gender. I have two sections in my closet, two different social media profiles, two different email addresses, two different lives. There … Continue reading Two Genders, Two Worlds
Recently you have identified yourself as bi-gender or trans. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would like to know how your wife identifies herself. I have always identified myself as straight until my husband, now wife, came out as trans. Now I am not sure what identifier I should use. Thanks for your assistance, and … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
I keep a lot of physical reminders from previous moments in my life. These could be ticket stubs from a concert or a small rock I picked up from when I saw the ocean for the first time. I associate objects with moments, even if the moment hasn't occurred yet. This is especially true when … Continue reading Review: En Femme Wrap Dress!
Everything we do is brave. We are brave when we whisper to ourselves "I am transgender" or "I am a crossdresser". We are brave when we shyly walk through the lingerie department of a store. We are brave when we leave the house en femme. We are brave when we come out to someone. We … Continue reading Staying Visible

I get a lot of emails from t-girls and crossdressers who are frustrated that it's taking forever to learn how to blend their … Continue reading Materialistic Girl
What do you think about the practice of indicating your pronouns (she/her/hers) after your name as is being advocated by many in the queer community? I, and I think like you, consider myself to be bi-gender or gender diverse (and a few other inadequate labels) I enjoy and am comfortable with my male persona but … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Coffee! Girl talk! Looking cute! Is there a better way to spend a Saturday? No, there isn't. Yesterday was the monthly MN T-Girls event and after two back-to-back private shopping adventures it was time to slow down and catch up over coffee. Considering how stressful the last few years have been, having coffee at Creators … Continue reading Coffee with the Girls!
I am looking for a women's hair salon for my shorter hair that is transgender friendly. I am not sure where you live, so I am afraid I can't recommend a specific salon. I would suggest looking into salons that are near you that you think you would like to visit. Once you've identified a … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
I have a deep and emotional connection to clothes. And yes! That is a little shallow, but let me elaborate. The cute purple bodycon dress hanging in my closet? The one I haven't worn in years? I wore it the first time I went out en femme. The beautiful, floor-length gown that I've only worn … Continue reading Review: En Femme Classic Short Sleeve Skater Dress!
