Fading away

After recovering from my surgery I think I feel very much not transgender even though I patently am. I have said in previous posts that I am simply living as a woman and forget about being trans. Well to be honest it is more a case of not wanting to think about being trans. I……

Finally

It has now been a full week since I left hospital where I had been for a five day stay. Yes, I have finally had my reconstruction surgery.

The world stopped

I had so much planned for 2020. Two holidays abroad, a wedding, my surgery at last too. But of course all of that was cancelled when the whole world stopped for this virus. In previous posts I have told you how I am simply getting on with life now. Nothing has changed there, but I……

Misgendered

This week is a busy one. I am in Whitby for Folk Week dancing with my morris dance team. In fact this is to be my last time dancing with them, partly due to the style being very hard on my aged body, partly as I feel I no longer fit with this men’s team.……

Hair and Dance

Yes, I know it has been a long while since my last post, but I have been busy living a very sociable life. Back in Junuary I was part of the pantomime chorus and had a wonderful time. I still can’t believe I was singing on stage and was even told that some others were……

Panto and New Year

On Saturday night our short run of four panto shows came to an end. It has taken much time and work but it has also been enormous fun. As I stood there in the wings I watched as everyone played their own part in making it happen, the cast, stage crew, chaperones, props, lighting, sound……

The Castle

Twice a week I am rehearsing as part of the chorus for our village pantomime. One of my wife’s friends was also in a pantomime this weekend where she works, she works as part of the staff of Windsor Castle. The staff of Windsor Castle put on a pantomime every two years and are allowed……

Birthday

Today is my 60th birthday. It is quite a milestone really and I am happy to have made it this far. And to mark it I have been doing some very nice things. At the weekend we had a group of friends over for a dinner party. The problem was that we decided to redecorate……

Priorities

In recent weeks my priorities have been based on work and home. I have been in my current job for more than eight years now and recent changes have made me less comfortable there. There is even a plan to close down where i work now and move the unit somewhere else which would be……

Caught out

Yesterday was a bit of a stressful day as I was caught out by a visitor to the house. For many trans women this would mean that somebody has caught them wearing women’s clothes but in my case it was, in a way, the opposite. I was caught by surprise without my hair on. I……
