This past weekend I went away for a retreat for one of the many jobs that I do. It was a gathering of a bunch of us that have been contracted to be a coach to others in our profession. (BTW – I SO wish I felt comfortable enough letting everyone know exactly what field I am employed in, but alas, with being transgender one needs to be cautious about how much info we spill onto the net. Bummer!!) Anywho………
Wow, those two photos combined look really weird! I have seen this sort of thing done by others and I thought I would give it a try. Kind of interesting. Kind of gives me a slightly different view of myself. It is how I think of my own identity, but it is weird seeing both presentations of me mixed together. It kind of reminds me of a lyric from Eminem – “Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?” Funny. It…
Gender Fluid? Gender Phooey!
April 21, 2016Frequently when I attempt to discuss my gender with others, they will say, ‘oh, well you are gender fluid.’ As of late, it has been occurring so much, that when I hear it, I throw up a little in my mouth. Okay, well that just may be a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously, I am a bit sick of people telling me that I am gender fluid. Do you know what gender fluid means people? Let’s take a…
A gorgeous iris from my yard! A few internet links that I have found interesting as of late: Diamond rain on various planets!! – OMG, are you serious? When are we going to get our little human butts off to these places so that we can scoop up rockets full of diamonds? Here is an easy way to get to the moon! Just fold some paper!! Hahahahaha Seriously?? How can these facts be true??? So….. I can’t believe I am…
I have been pondering today the ubiquitous use of the “trans” prefix as of late. Have you heard of:– transpecies – site 1 – site 2– transabled – site 1 – site 2– transracial – site 1 – site 2 And my immediate reaction is that these people who utilize these labels to describe their identities are full of crap. I would so love to unilaterally dismiss there claims. But then…. while doing so…. some small voice creeps up inside…
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…
Okay so there is a bit more pictured here than just bras. There are a couple of clothing items folded up on the seat of the couch, but most of that pile is tank tops bras. In front of that is my collection of cutlets and my sole remaining pair of silicon boobs. The picture above is the result of me feeling as though I had too much stuff jammed into my bra drawer. I took everything out, threw a…
