Stephie’s growing up

You might ask how I have grown up? I mean by growing up growing up emotionally, becoming more mature in my attitude towards aspects of my life connected with being a transgender woman. I have notice three things about me of late. I need less external affirmation; I now dress for myself, and not so […]

I Have Always Been

[Note – This is a sister/follow-up piece to (My Deepening Femininity)] Always been what? Female in gender. This post will relate a feeling I had not to long ago and its aftermaths along with its reoccurrences. So the feeling expressed and then verbalized was that I had always been a woman. Not that I felt […]

Stephie @ 3

Stephie (that’s me) turned 3 years old yesterday (11/10/21). Since her birth I have been no other. 100% woman. But, celebrating Stephie’s birthday is actually a double celebration. I have been legal tender for a year. Yay! As has become the routine I went out to dinner with my partner, Bette, to celebrating my transversaries, […]

My Deepening Femininity

In my four years of exploration I could get that femme feeling once in awhile. As time went on it increase in frequency, and toward the end in intensity. Almost 3 years ago I took the plunge, you might say, and I identified as a woman. That did turn off the guy feelings—the few if […]

My Bottom Dysphoria

[Note – Trigger warning—I feel I need to include this because I know how difficult it can be for myself. Also, this could be consider adult content, although it is not filthy by any means, just telling it like it is. On the other side there are those who are not adults that may still […]

My First Hair Trim

Yay! So, my hair had grown quite a bit as you might imagine as it had been growing for about 2 1/2 years. The day that will live in infamy is September 18, 2021. That is the day I had my first hair trim since I came out to my partner (Bette) in the spring […]

How do I Explain a Prime Characteristic of my Womanhood

Okay, Some thought of late was how do I describe how I defend myself and my needs. Defend here is not in the physical sense. This was brought to the foreground by a reply to a reply to a post on not being a guy when someone refers to a crowd of mix gender as […]

Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 3)

[Here are links to the first two – Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 1) and Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 2)] Part 3 of gender fog basically gives my best shot at this time in answering have I been a female all my life. I say “best shot” because […]

Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 2)

I left off in the first part (Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 1)) at the completion of high school. This second part continues with my life experiences after high school up until my day of reckoning as a woman. So my life moved on after I graduate high school. Eventually, I would […]

Trying to look back through the gender fog (part 1)

I guess I have to explain what I mean by my title. I will try to explore and discover any clues or hints from my past that might indicate that I had a foggy gender sense earlier in my life; way earlier then when I first identified fully as a woman. Memories are difficult to […]
