As a transgender lesbian I am tired of living in a country whose leader encourages hate against me and my community. I am also tired of his supporters telling me this is acceptable because they like his fiscal policies even though they are more socially liberal than he is. My ask is that we ALL work very hard to VOTE someone in who can at least respect ALL humans right to exist. For that is what is happening…… our leader…
I was just reading someone’s opinion on a website about MtF transgender voice therapy and something struck me, how critical are you of gender “tells?” The specific thought someone posted was in saying that while they have heard many transgender women speak they are still aware that the person was born AMAB. I am not wanting specifics on where that opinion was posted as I am not wanting to trash that person, that is not the point. What I am…
I read a quote the other day that perfectly describes my wife: Startling as it is, all of these feelings and more can live inside someone whom, to you, seems like the most brilliant, competent, strong, and compassionate human being you know. Uhm, yup, that is a quote about Jodie. Well most of you don’t know about what that first part might be referring to, but I do. Other than that, that last part, about being brilliant and such, yeah,…
Hello all! All of this alone time during Shelter in Place has allowed me quite a bit of time to consider things. It has been an interesting time of reflection for me. Especially with a variety of anniversaries looming on the horizon. June 6th will be 1 year out from the orchi, June 28th 2 years since I legally became female and changed my name, July 3rd 3 years since I chose to take the leap and change my hormones.…
The last time I wrote I it was the first time I had to go shopping during this viral crisis we are all experiencing. Today is about the 3rd or 4th time I have gone shopping. Well it was yesterday, but the picture from above was taken right before I stepped out of the car. I wasn’t real sure about shopping with a mask covering my face. It certainly felt weird and out of place. But hey, I’ve transitioned and…
https://www.unordinarystyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/zoom_0.mp4 For this year’s spring break I was scheduled to give about a dozen in-person presentations to various college classes here in California’s Central Valley. Needless to say, with Covid 19 currently ravaging the world, my presentations were cancelled. Several teachers asked me if I could make something available on-line for their students. Initially I said, oh heck no! Being as I have never video taped myself before, ever, I was super set against such an experiment. However, often when…
Technically it was Jodie’s turn to do the shopping this weekend, but being as she often calls me the apocalypse shopper, I volunteered to go instead. I tend to buy more than she does so it’s a running joke between us. This time it didn’t feel like a joke with how empty the shelves were. For us the groceries are about 1/2 an hour away. While driving there, it occurred to me that we have neighbors who should not be…
