The question still dogging me “which side is stronger?”

Over the years, I’ve seen and read many online friends and others, slowly creep along the change spectrum; crossdresser, gender fluid, trans woman. “That will ever happen to me”…but now I see so many similar patterns developing. 

Michelle asks the question, "which side is stronger?"  Although she doesn't mention "the slippery slope", it does make me wonder just what the science is behind the progression she describes in the paragraph, above.

Purse

I kind of felt sad about it every time I opened the draw realizing this purse-come-wallet that I really like was just not getting used. Several years on it was still in perfect condition, its puffiness with the material pleated at the edges and the silver embroidered writing still glistening brightly with femininity. 

 

 

 

This post is all about a lovely purse that sat unused for years, and some of you may guess why.  Enjoy Hannah's writing style and do read down to the last paragraph, which is short, but profound!

3-year HRT Anniversary

I take my estrogen to live. I inject myself with a couple-inch needle once every two weeks in a ritual that goes from "no big deal, get it over with" to "um, procrastinate a day or two?".

 

It's been three years on HRT for Shannyn.  Go here to see how she's doing.

 

The Wardrobe

I must say I have never been in such a close proximity to so high a concentration of woman’s evening wear all in one place - that is without getting funny looks from department store assistants. 

 

 

Imagine that you're spending the night in a friend's house.  They offer you a nice room that just happens to have a wardrobe full of lovely evening dresses.  What would you do?  

Abigale shares such an experience with us.  What did Abi do?  Read The Wardrobe for the answer.

It seems that Abi hasn't posted to her blog in a few years.  It's nice to see her back.  Your comments will encourage more posts, so leave Abi a note.

It's not polite when you get it wrong

Nothing sends me sideways faster than a hearty "sir!" from the other side of the line when I answer the phone.

 

For FtM transitioners, with the help of some T, the male voice emerges.  Not so for those transitioning from male to female. It's very difficult to achieve a feminine voice.  Transwomen must resort to voice training (I've tried it) or surgery.  Since vocal cord surgery is still iffy, most will take lessons to develop a feminine voice which, with practice, can be fairly successful.

This post is not about voice training or surgery however, so click on the link to find out just what our blogger has to say.

Groundhog day

This is now the tenth anniversary of my voyage to the south coast clinic where the repairs and modification, which I was told fifty years ago would not be possible in my lifetime, were finally undertaken. That arrogant doctor was wrong…

 

From Deanna:

My girlfriend "Caroline" has posted on the tenth anniversary of her visit to the 'spa' in Brighton. It might be her last contribution here in Blogistan. We shall see.

Do stop by and read Groundhog Day and let her know, by visiting, that you were there. Read a few more of her posts keeping in mind that her comment stream isn't working. 

If you leave a comment for her on Deanna's blog, she can read and reply. I will leave this up for a long while for that purpose.
