We need your help!

Sharing stories and our lives with one another is both fearful and rewarding. This site is interactive and relies on membership to exchange, empathize, and support each other. One of the ways we do that is through the Author tab and submitting stories of our successes, trials, and understanding of this life we live. Every shared story will help another person going through something similar, maybe even giving them the hope to move a step closer to finding their own place, whatever and wherever that may be.

You might not be aware of how you can contribute to the article section that you see here. Go to the Author menu and click on Submit New Article. It will open a window where you can begin to fill in the words that tell your story and will help others. We have a staff that will help you with formatting, grammar, and even find a representative picture if you don’t have one to upload. We ask that you write between 500-1,000 words. Longer and they may have to be broken up into multiple parts or edited down. I usually draw the line at 1,200 words. Much shorter than 500 and we will ask you to supply more.

There is so much that you can share with us. So much that we all need to read about that will help us on our own journey. It doesn’t need to be perfect, no one’s life is, but sharing things can be therapeutic. Think about the moments that have defined your life. What lesson did it teach you, and what would want someone else to know that would make it better for them? Not all of us on this site are in the process of going through a physical transition, but we are all going through a psychological one (whether we have professional help or not.)

Laughing together over embarrassing moments, crying together over great losses, or even just letting others know about how we feel is important, and necessary to the betterment of all our members. Give us your best tips, share a happy moment, talk about your dreams, or write a letter to your younger self. The possibilities are endless in what you could write. I’ll be here to help you tweak it so that you can be proud of what you have shared with the rest of us. If you have any questions, you can seek me out by contacting me via the Managing Editor listed under the 3-dash icon symbol.

I look forward to your submissions.

One last thing. When you submit and put it under review, only I can edit it. If you just hit the save button and leave, you can continue to work on it by looking under Author/edit draft article. Another way to do it. Write it in another program and then cut and paste the text over. Using Keyboard shortcuts works best; (Control+C to copy and Control+V to paste.)

Sabrina MacTavish

I've been on this path for nearly 50 years, beginning at age 7 when I wore my grandma's old dresses with my cousins. It felt natural. Later, I went through the fetish stage and fought with my insides. After my divorce 20 years ago, I let Brina out only to bury her away during another relationship. Now I accept that she is more who I really am and live my life in the hopes that my path will one of future happiness. Over the last 6 years, I've found out more about who I am, the path that I'm on, and what it means to be transgendered. I've also been much happier since I acknowledged and accepted myself for who I am. I'm still much in the closet as responsibilities take precedence. It doesn't help being an introvert by nature, but I will gracefully walk (mostly, ok, not so gracefully) this path as I become a better me.
