A girl whose beauty lights a darker way.

Whose roan tresses tumble, tincture gay,

And grace those shoulders, shaped as may

The beauteous form of elven fairy fay,

A dawn, Aurora, softly strives to say,

“Live me, this wond’rous winter day”,

Whilst flaming curls upon her bosom lay.

My girl, my friend, my labour’s pay.

Sooo beautifully written... If only I was half this good with words ^.^

And onwards

Went to the doctor yesterday. She referred me to

1. A urologist, for somewhat un-transgender issues, and

2. Gender Services.

I'll wait until Stacey is back at work on Monday to help me understand the paperwork & what I'm supposed to do. I also submitted a Gender Services form myself yesterday, and they've replied. They seem to say the I can have HRT, hair removal,...

Big day today

5

Sorry, still rabbiting on about me.

Today is a big day for me. This afternoon I’m going to see my doctor about transitioning (me, not her – yes, her, obviously she’s a woman, like my doctor would be a man), and I’ve no idea what’s going to happen. I suspect she’ll refer me to a psychiatrist, this being fucking Michigan. There’s a whole transgender...

@edmea Thanks!

At last.

I find myself walking into the bathroom just to look at myself in the mirror. That has never happened before. Absolutely never ever ever. It’s not because I’m beautiful, or cute, or even OK to look at – because of course I’m not. It is, I think, because I’m me at last. I’m comfortable. I love my clothes – I love the skirts, I...

Michigan Medicine, I am so angry.

Warning: contains even worse bad language than usual – I am fucking angry.

Apparently I can’t be a woman. Apparently I can’t even say I’m trans at work. Apparently men might be uncomfortable using the restroom with a fucking transbian, for fuck’s sake. How the fuck does that work? They don’t want to share a restroom with someone who is sexually attracted to women, and...

Fashion yay!

Does anyone who reads this stuff (no one, mostly) remember when I wrote: “I want to get back to blogging about serious issues; feminism, fashion, and fun. OK, mainly without fashion. But the other two certainly.” Well guess .what - YAY! Fashion! Thanks to Auntie¹ for the insight.

Tell me: Am I the only one not to have heard of Modest Fashion? Yes, I...

Gender dysphoria and me

3

Gender dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there's a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity.

So what does it feel like to have gender dysphoria? Well, I’ve no idea. All I can say is what it felt like for me to have gender dysphoria – and to quite a large degree I still feel it. The definition...

Gender terms

3

This is ludicrously simplified. It is also woefully incomplete, and also quite possibly wrong.

· Cisgender – used to describe people who are not transgender.

· Gender Confirmation Surgery (GCS) – see Sex Reassignment Surgery.

· Gender Dysphoria – a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity.

· Gender...

I love my bank

I contacted my bank via online chat and asked how to change my name. They immediately emailed me a form via their secure message system. I filled in the old & new names & signatures, put in the Reason field “Transition to a woman”, scanned it with my phone and sent it to them. Within a couple of hours, I got an email that started:...
