• Going with the flow

  by Emma Gee January 14, 2014
  I had my second appointment at Nottingham GIC today. This simple fact seem to cause a degree of confusion, as I was initially presented with " this is the first of three assessments before we take you on as a patient ". I also pointed out the fact that I had seen the estimable doctors Lorimer and...

• Little daily challenges

  by Emma Gee December 2, 2013
  Interesting experience at the weekend, my first example of being "invisible". I will never know whether this was because I am trans, a woman, or whether the girl on the till in the Co-op was just ignorant and stupid! I go in every weekend with my voucher for The Independent. I also go in most days...

To say I was nervous, frightened-n...

• Learning to be a woman

  by Emma Gee February 16, 2013
  I was talking to Elle the other night, trying to explain how it now feels to be confronted with the prospect of learning to be a woman, when all my life I have not only lived as a man- but completely rebelled against all the thoughts that, inwardly I was a woman. I said to her " imagine you woke...

• Danger UXB

  by Emma Gee January 17, 2013
  I seem to remember a TV programme in the UK from the late 70s with that title. The UXB ( or unexploded bomb for those not familiar with 2nd World War jargon) in my case, is the inexorable march of feelings that you are, and always will be, a woman inside- but with that strange, but so familiar, ...
