When we present as a gender or have a preferred name and/or pronouns that are different than what our legal documents and drivers license indicate, the idea of getting pulled over or being asked to provide identification becomes a lot scarier. It's hard enough to explain who we … Continue reading Ask Hannah!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go
If you are looking for a new perspective on life, there's nothing like walking a mile in someone else's shoes. This can also be accomplished by walking through a mall in heels.

Coloring Outside the Lines
I have FABULOUS eyebrows. Yes, I love how I look. Yes, I know it gets annoying. But I work hard to have the body that I have. Are there parts I wish I could change?

The kind people at MB Books sent a copy of 'More Than Just a Flag', an autobiography of Trans Flag Creator and Trans Activist, Monica F. Helms, to review. I love to read and I especially like to read what is called 'micro-history' which is usually a deeply researched book that focuses on something very … Continue reading More Than Just a Flag
Ask Hannah!
I’m curious if you’ve ever felt any hostility from the trans community regarding your definition of transgender? I mentioned on a Reddit post that I consider myself transgender even though I’m ultimately just a guy who likes to dress up every now and then, and I received a large amount of hostility and even some … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
