The New Reality?

As I've often said, a gender transition starts with one being honest with self. As hard as that may be to do, the follow-up is to then to be honest with everyone else. In my case, my wife did not accept my cross dressing, but she has been so wonderful in how she has transitioned along with me.



Cyrsti quotes Connie's comments on a prior post.  This post is about self acceptance along with gender transitioning and the effects on wives and family.

Uncommuting

How does the play into Trans related things? Well, you would think that working from home on the long term would very much play into my favour. That would have been true where it not for the Ever Lovely Mrs J’s firm sending folk home and, of course, the school closures too. Ah well, I’m sure I’ll be fine. 


Lynn writes about the whole COVID19 working-at-home life experience but also discusses the ramifications of social distancing on being trans.  Not sure I put that as eloquently as I should have, but you get the point.  Go here for the post.

News

I wasn't going to write about this, but in this time of isolation, in this time of deep depression... I need to talk about this.









Always one of those long-time bloggers who writes from the heart, Sophie needs to share her thoughts.  This post involves her wife.  It starts with bad news and ends with a lovely, long hug.  You'll just have to read the News, to find out what's going.

Are We Really a Community?

I chose one “stupid” word and now I am the devil. If you have a problem with something I have said, say so to ME. I’m now just sitting here blowing off steam and wanted to get this off my chest in a public forum.








People, trans or not, can be brutal on a public forum.  It's happened to me and I'm sure it's happened to many of you.  Some will say, via their keyboard, things they would never say to your face.  Here's a shout-out to Kandi, who recently got flamed and just wants to "clear the air".

My second visit

My therapist mentioned today that the fear of being judged is what leads to anxiety and on my first visit, I think I had that anxiety in full force. I mean, this is a first visit. She doesn't know me, I don't know her, and I am about to talk about an aspect of me that the vast majority of people I know aren't aware of. That's an anxious moment!


Blogging, for those of us who are trans, means sharing our journey with others.  Whether our bloggers realize it or not their posts are read by many over a few weeks, even though a particular post may be left with no comments.  In this post, Joanne tells us about her second visit to a therapist.  I'm sure her comments about the visit will help others now and in the future.

You Need to Calm Down

You are somebody that we don’t know

But you’re comin’ at my friends like a missile Why are you mad? When you could be GLAAD?










I loved this post!  You go girl!

Should trans women be allowed in women’s sports?

Lowering T-levels seems fair enough, and something most trans women will desire anyway. But some people argue that years of testosterone running round their bodies before this will have had a permanent effect, giving trans women an advantage.


Should trans women be allowed in women’s sports?  Andie, a transwoman, has really thought this out and provides some food for thought.

My Secrets

My legs are my best assets, so I show them off by wearing short skirts and high heels. Heels make my legs even more shapely and short skirts reveal the results.

On Why I No Longer Blog Here

Greetings to all Catholics, queers, and other assorted readers. After a long absence I’ve decided to explain why I no longer post here. The short answer is that I’m no longer Catholic.


There are many Catholics, myself included, who consider themselves trans.  This post, which I just noticed from a few months ago, should be of interest to the Catholic readers.
