Transgender Life

Voyages in the Pink

How fast a year goes by, but here we are again in January, and it is time for the 2nd annual “In the Pink Award.”

The inaugural award was an occasion of unabashedly debatable distinction, chronicled by media outlets far and wide… ahem… beginning and ending here, on my blog.

Quip as I might, it is entirely self-deprecating, with not a smidgeon of deprecation left over for the honoree.  My admiration and respect for the winner (and now winners) is utterly genuine and heartfelt.

Public School Crossdressing Day

Item from the local paper:

“The student council at King City Public School thought a great way to celebrate “school spirit” day would be for the boys to dress like girls and the girls to dress like boys. But what began as an offbeat suggestion for a fun day quickly became fodder for an intense debate over family values, the psychological implications of cross-dressing and whether gender identity politics were being forced on young minds.”

Once this event came to the attention of a certain Reverend, who is described as “a staunch social conservative who has expressed concerns in the past about a “homosexual agenda” in the school system” it became a whole brouhaha over gender politics in the schools, and was quickly withdrawn, despite the principal’s insistence that it was the students’ idea.

Two and a Half Men (and a Tranny or Two)

What is it with Charlie Sheen’s popular sitcom and trannies?

Seems like every show, there’s a reference to us t-girls; sometimes entire episodes revolve around us.

For those who don’t know, Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper – a hard-drinking womanizer (basically himself) – who lives with his uptight brother Allan and nephew Jake at his Malibu beach-house.  The whole thing has an Odd Couple-esque ring to it.  The supporting cast includes his mother Evelyn, his maid Berta, his stalker Rose, his shrink, and an endless bevy of beautiful floozies.

The Evidence

It started with the very first scene in the very first episode.  Charlie’ girlfriend holds up a sexy negligee and ask him what he thinks.  His response: “It’s for you, right?”

The re-run I watched yesterday had one of Charlie’s old girlfriends returning after a FTM sex-change, seeking his friendship and instead finding sex and passion with Charlie’s mother.

Haaaaaaiir’s Janie!

On the occasion of the new year, I have been going through past photos and seeing how I have changed over time.

Here’s one from a few years back, when my hair was much shorter than it is now.

So tell me, do you prefer me with long hair, short hair or somewhere in between?

Playing at Being a Boy

I’m a baaad girl sometimes.

Not in any nefarious sense, but I do like to play with people’s minds sometimes, even if it ends up that it is only playing with my own.

I spoke recently (here) about having to remember which gender I am at any given time, but sometimes I do remember quite well that I’m supposed to be a guy, but yet throw in some feminine gender cues on purpose just to see what reaction there might be.

I don’t know if it is just passive-aggressiveness, a secret desire to be discovered and end this double life, or just the mischievous person I have always been, looking for just a little bit of trouble…

Guesting – T-Central

Yesterday was a milestone of sorts for me in that my first ever guest post appeared, on T-Central.

As I mentioned there, T-Central is a wonderful effort put forth by Calie and her team, bringing together so many wonderful blogs and bloggers in one place.  It’s a great place to find many different points of view and experiences.

That said, I was surprised to see that the comments on this special “Crossdresser Experience” series of guest posts evidenced resistance by some transsexual posters to any assertions of genuine femininity by crossdressers – something I found disappointing, and frankly beyond comprehension (not so much the logic but the motivation).

A Little Too Nonchalant

As  I recounted a few weeks ago in the post Batting My Eyelashes, I was pulled over by police while driving, and though I fully knew I would have to give the officer my real driver’s license, I wasn’t the slightest bit trepidatious.

I began to think about this a bit.

Unwrapping the New Year

I’m starting the year off with a photo from my holiday photo shoot, one that is bright and happy and sensuous and sexy.  I’m hoping that 2011 will lend itself to the same description.

I suppose it is customary to start the year with a look forward and resolutions or goals for the coming twelve months, and who am I to mess with tradition?  Besides, publicly stating one’s goals has the effect of focusing one’s mind on them, if for no other reason than that so many other people will be aware of one’s failure or success in meeting them.  (It is a well-known fact that people are motivated more by the avoidance of pain than the pursuit of pleasure, so, yes, failure first.)

Grrr… Enough with the Smiling

Take me as I am!  This girl doesn’t always smile.  Sometimes she can be sultry, sometimes she can be miserable… sometimes she can try to look sultry and end up looking miserable.  Oh, well!

Miss-taken – Surprise!

This year, Boxing Day Night was a Sunday, and Monday being a holiday, the turnout was sure to be good, so I made a point of getting out there.

I found myself sitting at the bar talking to a woman when another young lady approached me.

“Hi, I’m with two friends who would like to meet you,” she said, leaning over and pointing to two guys about 10 feet away.  “Are you interested?”
