Amazed and Bemused

Carly Holloway October 18, 2020 Going Full Time 9

I have met many of you in the chat room, and there are uncounted others here I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting. I’ve been at TGH for about a month now, and I am so glad I joined. Thank you all for the support and encouragement. I began my transition slowly about 1...

Dealing with my past identity

Stephanie February 23, 2020 Going Full Time 0

Something I think a lot of trans people, especially us older folks deal with is in coming to terms with our past identities. It can be a road block during transition, especially if you are not moving away, changing jobs, or your career. For me, I occupy the exact same space I did...

Becoming Scotia

Stephanie August 22, 2019 Going Full Time 0

I’m coming up on a year since I came out and went full time as Stephanie. What a year it has been. I’ve never been happier and freer in my skin than I have been in the last year. If only I known prior to transition how it would affect me, I’d have done this years ...

My Journey

Michele Maclean March 11, 2019 Going Full Time 8

I’m not going to tell my life’s story because it’s too painful to divulge anything before 2016 at this time. Needless to say, I’ve always thought that I was meant to be a woman. Before 2015, my wife always made clothing for me; most of the time, we had matching outfit...
