Sometimes Being Out Is a Responsibility I Don’t Want

September 19, 2016

Is it easy to be out or in the closet?  I think this is something that many of us part timers ponder.  I mean if you are facing certain transition, then the question is moot.  You’re not going to transition to the other gender entirely and spend your time sitting in a closet all by yourself.  Life couldn’t possibly get done that way. For those who are just an occasional cross dresser, then again, I think the question is easily…

Bracelets, Bracelets, & Even More Bracelets!!!

August 10, 2016

Work, work, work!!  I’m so funny!  Why?  Well….. I didn’t have to work a couple of weeks ago, but I volunteered for the contract, and thus worked I did.  Then this past week, the same thing happened.  Next week, I’m back to my regular employment.  All of this wondrous work has left me a bit stressed out, a bit more moolah in the bank, but a bit tense.  So how did I spend my weekend?  Working!  Ha! Well, is it…

It’s Bound to Happen

April 2, 2016

So here I am, Nadine, in my normal state!  Ha!  Seriously, this is how I normally am dressed; in sort of this half and half state.  It is honestly when I feel the most comfortable with myself.  Not fully presenting as a woman, nor fully presenting as a man.  Though I do consider this as my male presentation. In this photo I am wearing my newest top from Target, it is kind of a cowl neck hoodie.  Um…super cute!  I…

Driving Myself Bonkers

January 21, 2016

I don’t know if you have noticed, but I sure have; since about July or so I have been FAR more conflicted about my gender than I have ever been before.  I used to be so secure in my knowledge that I exist somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum.  But when reviewing my blog and pondering what I should pontificate about today, I see a shift in my thoughts. Round and round I go, endlessly spinning my mental…

Comfort?

October 27, 2015

What does it mean to be comfortable?  I get it when you are talking about things like shoes, or clothes, or temperatures and the like, but when it comes to my gender it becomes much more difficult for me to put into words well.  I write little bits and blurbs and then quickly erase them as they don’t seem to capture the essence of what I am feeling. I have tried talking with cisgender folks about it and they really…

What a Lie!

September 25, 2015

Anyone can be anything they want.  Why do we tell this to our children?  Why do we set them up for failure?  This is SO not true.  It is quite impossible to be anything you want to be.  For example, what if I want to be a  6 foot tall blond bombshell with big natural curves?  Yeah, that is just not going happen.  Ever.  No matter what I do.Now what should we tell our children instead? Anyone can learn anything.…

Outfit for 5-11-15 – Zippers!

May 11, 2015

Skirt – H&M Top – Charotte Russe Sweater – 89th & Madison Shoes – Guess Belt – Mossimo I got this skirt a little bit ago at H&M and absolutely love the zippers on it.  The zippers totally sold me on the skirt. I love the look of them and that it adds a little bit of edge to it.  But I struggle a bit with my body image while wearing skirts that have that little bit of flare at…
