• Lost in the Crowd

  by Jessie Hart August 22, 2012
  How many pursuits in life include the ultimate successful goal of becoming invisible?Transgender Stealth is one indeed.A noble one? Certainly for the person involved. Even me.A constructive one. Not for the trans community.Ironic isn't it when we work so hard just to disappear.

• Mentally Ill No More!

  by Jessie Hart August 19, 2012
  Until very recently, I wasn't totally aware I was automatically labeled as mentally ill by the psychiatric community.I knew that sometimes I viewed myself as slightly off kilter when compared to most of societies "norms".The deal was for the longest time, I did attach quite ...

• Transgender Vet

  by Jessie Hart August 10, 2012
  It looks as if my long line of activity with the Veterans Administration  is about to take another turn- for the better.I will explain  later after I pass along another trans veterans experience - not too far away from me. (Northeastern Ohio)This story is much different...

• Trans and Married?

  by Jessie Hart August 9, 2012
  I don't know a transgender, cross dresser or transsexual person whose life has been a totally joyous experience. Of course elevated rates of suicide in the trans community are well documented.Every once in a while, I come across a very positive site which involves our culture. Kris Schroeder a...

• Trans Yin and Yang

  by Jessie Hart July 23, 2012
  Certainly transgender women and men have never "cornered" the market on suicide thoughts and attempts but sometimes I think we dominate it. Here's another story: "Jay Ladin took out a two-year life insurance policy in 2006, intending to kill himself and leave everything to his three children. After...

• Making It in a Man's World

  by Jessie Hart July 16, 2012
  Quite the question right? All that male "privilege" we so gladly gave up-how's that workin' for ya? I can't speak for all of you but if I did, probably most of you would say it's a learning process but you are doing the best you can. Some would argue it's not a man's world after all and how about yo...

• Trans Humor

  by Jessie Hart July 16, 2012
  Here are two or three comments I made in passing when I was talking to my VA therapist the other day which she found humorous. I thought I would pass them along with the warning "Hey! The jokes don't get any better!" Hormonal changes: First major hot flash. I thought the stories I read as a kid abou...

  My appointment yesterday with my VA psychologist went extremely well. (I'm a transgender veteran.) My hours with her have been incredibly pleasant and to give a few of you new visitors (Thanks!!!) a quick history: This process was the required start to my hormone journey (HRT) through the Veteran's ...

• A Debt of Graditude to Black Americans

  by Jessie Hart March 28, 2012
  Recently the local PBS (Public Broadcasting System) channel in my area ran a documentary about the black civil rights struggles in the deep south in the early 1960's. The marches, protests and boycotts by the black community led to the Civil Right's Act of 1964. (from Wikipedia) "The landmark legisl...

• Why Do We Fight?

  by Jessie Hart March 27, 2012
  For the life of me I have never figured out why some in this community go out of their way to be negative to others who they perceive to be leading their lifes wrong in the transgender culture. At times they even go as far as to comment that a transgendered individual may even hurt the transsexuals ...
