Why won't he ask me for a date!

I met this really cute guy when I went to get gas about two months ago.  He is an attendant in the convenience store that also sells gas.  He has always been more than helful and always goes out of his way to ask me what I have been doing lately or just to start a conversation.  He knows I'm a transgender person but it doesn't seem to bother him.  He asks me to wait while he waits on another customer so we can continue our conversation.  I keep looking directly into his wonderful brown eyes…

Are you a bludger who doesn't pull their weight?

I nearly choked on my cold gold when I read Chloe's request for assistance with donations and her statement that only 6 individuals have contributed of late in keeping Pe running.

What sort of person has the gall to take advantage of this beautiful site with all it's assistance, it's support and it's opportunity to meet like people in such a way and then turn their back in helping keep Pe going.

In Oztralia, we have a name for such people, they are called bludgers, it's an…

TG sensationalism in the News on 2 Nov

Just moments ago, my local Channel 4 KOMO news just made a big stink about a 45 year old TG woman, in their words, "WAS BORN AS A MAN!!!" their emphasis, not mine,  using the womens locker room at a pool facility near Olympia WA.  Apparently,  a young girl 'SAW THE MAN NAKED' and told the mother who then called police.  

So to the credit of the school (and police), they offered that the TG student was legally protected and there was nothing they could do.  I view this as progress, and…

Confessions of a Formerly "Male" Miss Smartypants

Having a female brain in no way guarantees one understanding of certain things until actually living the life. Like the whole nature vs. nurture debate, some things are innate and others just have to be learned, often the hard way. Being born gonadally and endocrinally challenged virtually guarantees a bevy of opportunities to learn the hard way, or at least with a New Jersey assload of redacted opinions and practices. If a bunch of words have to be made up in the process, so be…

Unique and the Grouchy Old Fool

Something about Bill O’Reilly really pisses me off. I’d say it’s hard to put my finger on it, but it’s kind of already there and hard to deny. I know, I could be talking about anything right now, can’t I? This time it’s about the character Unique on ‘Glee’. How have I avoided talking about last spring’s latest diversity inclusion on my favorite progressive hit TV show? I must be off my game or something.

For you culturally confounding people who read my blog, but for some reason don’t…

Soo.....what's new?

I have been a bit on the side lines lately.. Been keeping tabs on everyone, making sure everyone here on PE is doing ok.. And seeing so many new faces joining recently. Yeehaaaa!



To those newbies.., I say a big welcome.

If I could talk to each of you, let me say simply..welcome, and know, you have stepped over a threshold, which may be a small step, a hop, or a very big leap of faith.



We each take our own steps in the stride we can manage, and I applaud each of you… Read More

Multiple Roles

  Provider, Father, Husband, Myself... Any of us who started a family, hoping this thing inside would go away only to find at some point you can't push it away any longer finds theirselves in a horrible place. All my life I knew deep down who and what I was inside.  No matter how hard I try. She slips out little by little. I created a wonderful life. Good job, Beautiful wife, Kids, Now in my mid 30's, I feel stuck. Do I throw it all away to be true to myself? Or do I be misurable to only be…

Transitioning is deeper than hormones and surgery.

For me, transitioning started the day I was born -- my conception by a white father and black mother shocked many, and so did my anglocized name - Victoria M Thomas -- however, what would soon come after would be a shocker for me as I grew up. My father tried to murder me because he wanted a baby boy and not a baby girl and my mother had enough of his angst and divorced him. Everything around 1990 turned into a blur as my mom went from a high paying job in the city to becoming a mistress of a… Read More

House Etiquette

Passing? Why Do I care

I don't get the thing about passing really or the thing about going stealth. I myself see myself as a local supporter of the TG community and the LGBT and I would never turn my back on that. As for passing I only want to look and feel like I do inside. If that means looking like a Amazon so be it, All I want is to be able to look in the mirror and see what I wanted to see all my life and to hell with whatever others think. All I ask from the world is respect and good manners towards me and the… Read More

I Rocked It, And Then I Purged

I lived and I passed as a female for three years. My GG taught me well about perception and confidence. She had done so well in her teachings, that on one of our many "girls' night out" adventures, I had two guys trying their hardest to win my attention. One became so bold, he pulled me to him and stuck his tongue as far down my throat as he could. I had first attempted to push him away, but... He was actually really good at it!

 

I would have guys actually run in front of me…

I'M RICH!

I find myself in a place where I have only read of others arriving at, but rarely ever escaping from – Divorced, Bankrupt, Foreclosed upon, Workforce reduced from my job, and a prisoner of my own body, and yet... I smile.

 

I am thankful to God.  He has seen…

Am I too tall to be accepted as a woman?

I just found a most interesting (non sleazy) site dedicated to tall women.

http://www.tallwomen.org/twotm/





It is a fairly well done collection of information in support of women who are taller than 'average'. Being 6' 2 myself, I have always heard my inner voice tell me that I'm too tall to ever transition. My height has been one of the things I have always resented and kept me from seriously considering a transition many…

Boys! Boys! Boys!

So since this is the topic du jour, I have to add my two cents . . .



First, I like men. A lot. I also know there are lot of other trans women on this site who are attracted to men as well; we may not always be the most vocal, but that doesn't mean we don't exist. I know at times it can seem like I'm the only person on this site who isn't a lesbian or bisexual, but I know there are many of us looking for our… Read More
