More Than Just a Flag
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!
Kylie and Hannah and the Angry Inch

Just a Small Town T-Girl, Living in a Lonely World
We all get to the point where we are tired of walking (or strutting) around our living rooms. We love the sound of our heels on our floors but long to hear them click on the sidewalk and in the mall.

Destroy Your Enemies, Not Your Allies
Now that's a fun title, isn't it? When we first start to come out to others, so begins a deluge of feelings, experiences, emotions, desires and dreams. We are no longer holding back our other selves, the years of secrets and loneliness. We are free. Well, more free than we were before. Of course, after … Continue reading Destroy Your Enemies, Not Your Allies

Be Worth It
If you are reading this, there is a really good chance you could, and do, identify as transgender. I define that term rather broadly so whether you are on hormones, living full-time or just wearing a cute pair of panties or have pink toenails there's a really strong likelihood you fit within that definition.
