Out of the dark ages, (concluded)

Angela Booth April 3, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 4

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...

Out of the dark ages. (Part one)

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...

After 62 years I have come to my senses and stopped denying my transness. I have been on HRT for the past 5 years and I have done much of the follow up to transition. I have to make it work for myself and my SO, but I am ready in my mind to do that. I have a small group of fr...

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...

Christina W February 20, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 5

It’s been too long since I last wrote to you. All of you wonderful ladies have showered me with love and compassion. Thank you so much for that. However, it seems that I only come to you when my heart is broken or when I don’t know how to cope with my secrets. Eightee...

Accidental Validation

Stephanie January 25, 2020 Going Full Time 3

A few months ago, I went to court to testify as part of my job. When I came out full-time, the legal counsel for where I work sent out a memo to all Prosecuting offices in our area, informing them of the name change and everything. I had no trouble testifying. Sometimes, it can b...

Finding Your Way

April King January 16, 2020 Am I Transsexual?, Friends and Family Situations, Going Full Time 16

I am sitting here, having a nice glass of wine, contemplating my future. I am a torn individual. OK with my male life, yet wanting more. I just feel more alive when I am April, yet I am so self conscious of my appearance. I know I do not pass and while I am OK going out part time...

How did I know I was trans? When did I realize I was trans? Part Two

Stephanie January 8, 2020 Am I Transsexual? 5

Puberty brought with it a whole lot of different emotions and experiences. As for most people, my puberty years were confusing. Everything got exaggerated; feelings, depression, anxiety, and loneliness to mention a few. I spent most of the time by myself. I also spent extra time ...
