I get quite a few emails from partners and spouses of people like me and likely people like you. We are on our own journeys but we all experience many of the same things. One of the commonalities is that we know there is something different (and amazing and beautiful) about us AND it's something … Continue reading Turning Point

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
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
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?
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
Three Links
Hi! I appreciate it when someone sends a link my way that they think we would be interested in. Sometimes it's a link to another t-girl's website or a new place to buy lingerie, a story in the news I missed, or resources that help us in other ways. I'd like to pass on three … Continue reading Three Links
HB1156
Sometimes I will post something and I feel I am able to anticipate the likely responses the photo or link or article will generate. Some of the expected comments can be fun, others can be polarizing and divisive... and others can be the equivalent to setting a room on fire and quickly closing the door … Continue reading HB1156
A Son and a Daughter
I don't have many memories of my dad when he wasn't yelling at me or my siblings or my mom or the television or a neighbor or a piece of mail or the dog or anyone that just happened to cross his path. Don't worry, this post isn't as heavy as the opening sentence is … Continue reading A Son and a Daughter
Keg and Case and Stilettos
This past Saturday was the first MN T-Girls event of the year! This November we will be celebrating our ten year anniversary and my goal for 2023 is to have as many new events for the group as possible. I mean, we'll still have many of our normal adventures like attending Pride and our holiday … Continue reading Keg and Case and Stilettos
Her Own World
When we are en femme, I believe we become a different person. This person is not necessarily a NEW person, though. She is different than who, well, we normally are. When Hannah is in the world she is a different person from the person that I normally present as. She is a different person than … Continue reading Her Own World
