• Wendy Larsen - TWO YEARS - My Rebirth Day

  by wendy larsen May 22, 2006
  It's been a hard year, but not really because of being transgendered. In many ways that has been the best part of my life for the last year. Coming out was hard and wonderful and my life is much better for it. I'm more serene. I deal better with disasters. I'm a better person Wendy is defini...

  The past couple of weeks were not fun. My gg friend and I had our first major row since I came out to her. It was like our old fights....but very different. We were tired. I was stressed to begin with. She got stressed. Neither had to do with each other.....but by evening we ended up arguing...

• You want to cut WHAT off?

  by wendy larsen July 1, 2005
  Hehe. Got your attention, did I? No, this is about other parts. Over the last year I have noticed a dramatic change in my body image and value system.  Things about my body that did not bother me a bit or that I even saw as positive (some lovely scars that carried a macho image with them, for ...

  by wendy larsen June 2, 2005
  It's not like I didn't have enough problems in my life already. Most of them could be dealt with if I put out considerable effort. That is until this morning. I headed out to take care of the top item on my list. The rings blew on my engine. Power dropped and an incredible cloud of smoke poured...
