World’s Best Mom?

November 8, 2010

Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot in the news about kids being bullied (sometimes to suicide) for being gay. But I think this story illustrates that this isn’t just an issue with “kids”, but a problem that originates with homophobic and mean spirited adult (parent) bullies. In this case, none of the kids had any problem with the boy, it was the adults that were the bullies.

The Crossdresser Blues

October 25, 2010

Depression is the single most prevalent mental health issue in the world. An astonishing 10% of the U.S. population deals with at least mild depression, but among the transgender population this figure is much higher. The sad thing is that most people don’t actually seek help with their depression because of the stigma attached to [...]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

October 18, 2010

Halloween is the most wonderful time of year for crossdressers. It’s the ONE day out of the year that society allows boys to dress like girls and not risk being ridiculed or worse. And it’s a great opportunity for couples to get in the spirit together and go out and have a good time. Here are some great tips on how to make it work!

The Great Pantyhose Debate

August 24, 2010

Whenever I wear a skirt or a dress I almost always wear either pantyhose or leggings of some kind. But recently I’ve been paying attention to a very vocal debate about whether or not pantyhose are acceptable anymore as a part of one’s wardrobe. In this post, we look at the debate and try and figure out how it applies to crossdressers or transgender people.

Ten things you can do to feel more feminine

July 27, 2010

Over the last few years I’ve been exploring ways to express my feminine side, even though I have had to spend most of my time in ‘boy mode’. I’ve discovered there are a number of things that a transgender person can do to feel more feminine, without disrupting work or their social life (assuming one is in a situation where they must continue to present in ‘boy mode’). Here are some things I’ve learned along the way.

Funny about shoes

July 2, 2010

Recently my parents came up for a visit for a few days. They had been planning to take an Alaska cruise for years with some close friends of theirs and finally decided to make it happen. Before leaving, each of them wanted a new pair of shoes for formal night but couldn’t find any they liked in stores. So I dug into my closet and found them each a pair that they loved!

How my sister found out

April 30, 2010

I recently wrote about coming out to my parents. Since then I’ve been trying to find the right time to come out to my younger brother and sister as well. At Thanksgiving when we were all at my parents house I thought I might do it then, but the time never felt right for having that conversation. I also wanted to tell both my siblings at the same time because I felt that it might be easier on them in case one or both of them was made uncomfortable by my coming out, and nobody would feel like they were the last one to find out. It didn’t happen that way though.

Struggling to lose weight and keep it off

April 19, 2010

Apart from the fact that obesity in the world is growing at an alarming pace, often I think people (like myself) have used food as a kind of treatment for their crossdresser/transgender issues (especially if one isn’t “out”). On one hand I have always wanted to be thin, but on the other hand I have the lifelong stress of my internal transgender feelings that drive me to self-medicate with food. It seems I’m not the only one.

April 15, 2010

When it comes to considering various options for transgender care, herbs are usually one of the first options that come to mind. They are generally seen as safe, effective, and more “natural” than pharmaceuticals and this makes them a powerful draw for the transgender individual. Besides, one can obtain virtually any herb online, shipped discreetly to [...]
