• Transition Update, August 9, 2015

  by Daphne Anne Farr August 9, 2015
  Well, it's been a week since I came out to my brother and some of my closest long-time friends. The world hasn't come to an end; nobody has tried to kill me or cause me bodily harm; everyone has been very supportive. I've been feeling quite blessed.   I still haven't outed myself to my kids. ...

• Transition Update, August 2, 2015

  by Daphne Anne Farr August 2, 2015
  Coming Out to Long-time Friends   This has been something I have been dreading for a long time. I found that it has been much easier to come out to friends that I've only recently met, than to come out to long-time friends. I have waited to tell my long-time friends and family until I am abso...

• Transition Update, July 5, 2015

  by Daphne Anne Farr July 5, 2015
  Gee, it's been almost 2 months since I've written my last update. I guess time does fly when you're having fun. I've certainly been having fun, or at least interesting times. I'm getting out "en femme" much more often, and so far I have not had any problems with that. I have two cis-female friends t...

• Transition Update: 5/9/2015

  by Daphne Anne Farr May 10, 2015
  Well, this has been an interesting week on my road to womanhood. It's amazing that until up to a few months ago, I was unaware that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Services provided services for transgendered veterans. Now I am actually getting assistance in my transition.   Th...

• Getting to the Fast Lane

  by Daphne Anne Farr April 16, 2015
  Well, sisters, today was the day that I finally got my transition into the fast lane. I had my annual physical exam with the Veterans' Health Service. After the usual taking my vitals, giving me the results of my blood work from last week, the doctor asked me if I had any issues that I wanted to dis...

• New Year Blog Part II

  by Daphne Anne Farr January 2, 2015
  Oops, I guess there is a limit to the size of blogs, so I'll continue.   My one New Year resolution is to not quit smoking in 2015. Now you may think that is a strange resolution, but I've found I never keep my New Year's resolutions anyway. So maybe the resolution to not quit smoking in 2015...

  by Daphne Anne Farr January 2, 2015
  Well here it is, another year over a new one just begun. (John Lennon). 2014 was quite an outstanding year. It's the first year since 1964 that I spent the entire year sober.That is something I am quite proud of. The unexpected bonus from sobriety was the weight loss. When you consider how much I wa...

• Attack of the Killer Beard

  by Daphne Anne Farr June 7, 2014
  I have been blessed with a light, sparse beard. Lately, though, I have been noticing that about 5 - 6 hours after shaving, I can notice a beard shadow showing beneanth my makeup on my chin. It pretty much ruined my plans for a late-night "adventure last night.   I am, living in San Antonio fo...

• Daphne's Blog 5/29/2014

  by Daphne Anne Farr May 30, 2014
  This is another attempt at writing a blog. So far, I tended to be too wordy, feeling the need to expalin everything in detail, so I'll try to keep away from that. It is 2:30AM, Friday, May 29, 2014. The big news today is that my weight loss has resumed. I leveled off at 188 and stayed there fo...

• My Journey Part III

  by Daphne Anne Farr May 23, 2014
  In Part II, I mentioned that the only job I could find was a part-time job at just slightly above minimum wage. That was being Post Quartermaster for my VFW Post. Part of my job was to be the "emergency" bartender. This usually meant one or two hours during the day while the senior bartender did a s...
