Month: January 2009

Hiya, The other week I was at a conference: a small do of about 30 people – all of them blokes. Well, all blokes bar the lady who organised the whole gig. She had a really nice black shift dress with a faux shirt layered under it… but I’m waffling. I, like perhaps you, do my fair share of dressing up – cross-dressing if you want to be precise – but what about dressing up the other way? Male dressing up. Some may say ‘en drab’ but that’s not always true. There are some nice clothes if you’re a chap. Shirt and tie are typical office garb, but there’s other uniforms: a format of clothes that marks us out as […]

Hello, I feel the urge to start off with some witty comment rather than the usual “how’s you?” But my feet are cold and really I should be sorting out something to eat, so I’m not quite in the zone. Shall we just get straight to it? (Ed: oo-er!) Have you ever worked for something – a personal goal, some material item, job or holiday – and then when it’s just about to arrive, stop and think: is this what I really want? I’m on that track right now. There’s a job opportunity opening soon and for the last year or so I’ve been thinking: once so-and-so position arrives, I can put my hand to that and leave a lot […]

Hi, It’s a slow news week this week, but that’s not always a bad thing is it? I don’t know about you, but I can’t be bothered with too much drama. It’s just so tiring. 🙂 Earlier in the week I was talking with a friend who’s single again. No, he’s not trans as far as I know, so we can’t blame the break-up on that. But that got me a thinkin’ around the whole TG + relationship business. Some of us are open from day one and tell all. Some of us don’t, perhaps hoping that we’d never need to tell or that maybe it’d stop by itself. For some, perhaps it does. For me – and possibly you […]

Hey folks, W’sup? 🙂 Brrr. It’s been a bit cold here in dear old Blighty hasn’t it? The tempreature has barely made it past 5 degrees most days. For the UK, that’s rather cold…. then I see the weather for Canada or Iceland and I’m glad of where I live 🙂 The week’s been a little odd. With the rush of Christmas and the seemingly long slog through winter to *ahem* look foward to, my mind’s a bit of a muddle. It started just after New Year’s Day, a kind of grey fog where I kinda lost interest in just about everything. Well, almost everything. Perhaps it was because I was feeling a bit down, my trans circuits went into […]

Hey y’all. Did you have a very merry Christmas? I hope so. Mine was excellent thanks. New Year’s was nice and quiet but that’s not a bad thing after the paper shredding and food snaffling frenzy that was Christmas week…. and that was just the adults (Ed: Ba-boom tsssh). I’ve started and restarted this post a few times. I had considered doing the traditional review of the year, but I won’t. Mainly because it would involve trawling through the news or sitting trying to remember what TG stuff has happened and other folk have done it better (just check the blog roll 😛 ). Instead, just close your eyes and think of something that made your year special to you. […]
