Where am I at?

Timmie Sawyer May 11, 2021 Friends and Family Situations 0

I am Timmie, that much I know, I found her sitting in a deep deep hole, when I saw her for the first time I looked at her and said, “I’m so sorry, if I am seen helping you out I will get in trouble and people will say bad things about me”. You see, I am already in...

More stumbling through the decades

Jue Meili Olaes April 26, 2021 Friends and Family Situations 0

The journey continues My story continues in September 2020 when I applied for a legal name change. I chose the name Jue Meili (pronounced Gee May Lee) meaning pearl beautiful. It takes an untold number of years for a real pearl to grow inside an oyster shell to become a most bea...

Nobody really understands

SophieFR April 11, 2021 Friends and Family Situations 21

It occurred to me this week, that so few people can really understand my reasons for choosing to live the way I do! Even more so, on the subject of surgery (SRS). The latter being quite a dramatic and extreme choice that encouraged some to tell me that, it will not change who I a...

Editor’s Choice – Broke the cycle

It was a very tough thing for my mum and me to end a pattern of life that destroyed my brothers, father, and our family. My mom and I broke that cycle forever and set me free to become myself. I grew up with two older brothers that were drug addicts big time, I am so grateful I d...

Out of the dark ages, (concluded)

Angela Booth April 3, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 3

My confidence was high now, but I hadn’t told any friends or any work colleagues. This seemed to be an area that was difficult for me to face. Some of these people I’d known most of my life. However, I had thought about it and an opportunity presented itself one day when ...

Out of the dark ages…continued

Angela Booth March 17, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 3

I asked a lot of questions about myself, and whether I wanted to undertake surgery. At this time being T.G. was still a bit taboo, and the environment I worked in would have made it very difficult, so I stayed where I was. However, I was beginning to look acceptable and knew my s...

Angela Booth March 4, 2020 Friends and Family Situations, Uncategorized 5

After my years of denial, I realized the truth. It came after being dressed (very convincingly, I might add) by girls I worked with for a party. I loved being female. The next phase was how to deal with it. By now, my circumstances led me to rent a place of my own where I could b...
