The MN T-Girls are celebrating ten years this month. I think this is pretty cool. It's normal to look back over the years when one arrives at a milestone. I've learned a lot about what works, what doesn't, how to lead, how to organize... but I've also learned a lot about creating a space for … Continue reading Wearing the Tiara

Ask Hannah!
I would like to meet another t-girl to be friends with. Where would be the best place to meet someone else who likes to crossdress? Honestly? The internet. It's not like we all go out an congregate in specific places unless it's a LGBTQ+ bar/nightclub, I suppose. Some of us, including myself, are, well, visibly … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Learning can be Fabulous
The MN T-Girls had our monthly outing this past weekend and it was, in a way, a field trip. When I was in school we mostly had educational field trips where we learned about... well, a lot of things. Our August outing was very similar to that. I love museums and although I've lived in … Continue reading Learning can be Fabulous
A Small Fish in a Big Ocean
Part of living in the world is finding your place in it. There's always a place for everyone but sometimes we have to carve out our own niche and create a space that is perfect for oneself. That was part of my thinking when I thought about what I wanted the MN T-Girls to be … Continue reading A Small Fish in a Big Ocean
Pride and Storms
Pride weekend has come and gone for another year. As always, it was lovely to be out in the community and to meet so many people. I was excited about Pride but I have to admit I was a little off, a little tired. I started off strong... ...but as the day progressed my energy … Continue reading Pride and Storms

Hi! Minneapolis is celebrating Pride all month but this upcoming weekend is when the party really starts! Pride is one of those events when I wish I was a party girl instead of... well, a stay home girl. Once again the MN T-Girls will have a booth at the festival and I hope you come … Continue reading MN T-Girls at Pride!
From Makeup Brushes to Paint Brushes!
This weekend was the monthly event for the MN T-Girls and it was something we've never done before as a group... we took a painting class! A small group of us spent a rainy Saturday afternoon with Terri Berg who teaches painting for groups and parties. She was very patient and just super fun to … Continue reading From Makeup Brushes to Paint Brushes!
A Hope to Change Things
I think about Bob Dylan's song, "The Times They Are A-Changing" a lot. The line "don't criticize what you can't understand" will always ring true and I think resonates with anyone who isn't cisgender or heterosexual. A few years ago a friend of mine, who had recently come out as gay, said they had always … Continue reading A Hope to Change Things
Turning Point
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
