Where Have All the T-Girls Gone?
This is not meant to be a political post so please keep that in mind. The queer community (and yes, that includes us) is used to things going kinda well for a bit and then things take a huge step backwards. Maybe things get better again, maybe not.

Joy to the Girl
I have a new article for The Breast Form Store! This article is about coming out but it is a little different when it comes to how we discuss this side of us.
