I often wonder sometimes how I would have reacted if the shoe was on the other foot – that being, that, if one night, my wife would have come to bed, got under the sheets and surprised me wearing Men’s Briefs and genitalia to compliment them. Could I be ok with that, if it were [...]

I’ve been thinking about the subject of friendship and transition for a while now, but recent events and a few other blogs on the subject of friends that I’ve read in the last couple of weeks prompted me to write my own blog about it.
Early on in my therapy sessions, probably a year and a [...]

I first came across the rumor of a TV show (based on GID) called ‘Pretty/Handsome’ buried in the comments section of the excellent ‘Being T’ (Thanks, Bitsy!). I was intrigued, but heard no more about it until yesterday when I was checking out the personal blogs of some other ‘Being T’ commenters and found Chosha, [...]

I like to stare out windows for hours at a time – I always have ever since I was a young child.

Earlier this week, I blogged about getting my first intentional ma’am from a sandwich maker at the local Subway. The interesting thing is that I wasn’t trying to “pass” at the time. If you’re interested, you could read about it on my 360 blog, including a picture of me wearing what I wore into the [...]

Mom ended up asking me to send the letter, anyway, but, I had scrapped the original this morning, and ended up sending this instead.
Sorry, but I am not going to send that letter. But I will say this much….
The fact that (brother) and I are at odds is because of his actions and words he [...]

Mom’s response to my letter to my aunt:
Listen Marcus,
Don’t ever presume to know how I am feeling because you never will and never can!!!!!!!
I remain,
Your Mother
I am truly going to miss the “person I thought I knew”.
So, I wrote a long letter to mom last night but don’t think I will send it because it [...]

My aunt sent me this e-mail/link today. The link is for a “recovered” transsexual whom I agreed to meet with almost 2 years ago as my family was struggling to accept my being transgender. They thought if this person could be saved then I could be saved as well.

Logo: “100% Woman” – Mountain Bike Racer Michelle Dumaresq
My friend Nellie sent me this link to something she saw on Logo last night. I’m not sure how old it is, but I’d never seen it before.
“100% Woman” – Michelle Dumaresq
So many things struck me with this, such as the shear ignorance of some of her fellow racers, with their primary complaints being that [...]
