  • DD's

    I'm biased but it's hard to imagine many tougher journeys through life than changing ones gender. If you are lucky enough to know for sure you were born into the wrong body and you are fortunate to be born into a loving accepting family-then you have society to face. If yo...
  • Empty Calories

    Empty calories at a Halloween drag show?Very much so last night for me at least. To begin with, lets describe "empty calories" as that 99 cent value burger you ate for lunch and were hungry less than two hours later.To set the scene, last night was one of the only nights I considered myself in ...

For seeming a thousand years I was too concerned about my looks and not my soul. I've tried to revisit the problem as much as I can here because I b...

In a little less than two weeks I have my appointment with a new doctor which I call my sec...

  • Thomas Edison and the Trans Invention

    Did Virginia Prince or Thomas Edison invent the "transgender" word? Neither. I'm just trying to get your attention.I have written several times of the chats I have with the person who has known me the longest as a transgender or cross dresser back in the day.
