I took part in a survey about my life as a transgender person. It was enjoyable and I was happy to be a part of it. I would love to tell my story so as to encourage others.

I was wearing a blue skirt, blue flats, red three-quarter sleeve pullover, and an off white sweater. I have been going out during the days and feel more confident. I was out there strutting my stuff and enjoying it immensely. I didn't care what people thought or said.

I hope to attend a TG party in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to meeting other TG's and socialize more.

Just want to say hello. My trans experience is getting better every day. Love where I'm headed. Will add more in my next blog.

The valleys in life help us to realize that we need to look up.



I have been reading and writing about my experiences as a transgender. It's amazing how many changes I have gone through. We change every day whether or not we know it.

I have read many stories of those who have suffered much just because they are trans. I don't know why I discovered my transness just a couple of years ago but I guess the time had come. I'm comfortable being a transgnder. I guess that has to do with me being comfortable with myself as a person. I've never had gender issues in my life but, thus far, it has been a positive experience for me.

This past Saturday, I was wearing a white peasant top. My wife remarked that she wants to borrow it when the weather gets warm. On Sunday, I wore a red three-quarter sleeve pullover. We share skirts, blouses, and tops. Never dreamed we would be sharing clothes. I couldn't be happier.

I love women because I am one.

I have nothing in particular to say. I'm just happy to be alive and continuing on my journey to self-discovery.

I'm feeling quite feminine today. The gender may be fluid again. It's gotten to the point that I feel more feminine than masculine much of the time whether or not I dress. The androgyne side of me may be more femme now than several months ago. I certainly feel that way since I have more interest in feminine things.

The transgender spectrum is so diverse that I wonder if there will ever be any commonality among us. However I choose to be identified, it doesn't define who I am. I try to meet a person where they are at that particular time. I may not agree with something but I have gained a clearer understanding about the individual. To me that's more important than clothes, clubbing, and what group I belong to.

I was out dressed last Friday evening. It was the first time in a while that I've been out. I love the sound of my low heels clacking on the sidewalk. I was another lady out for a stroll. A young lady asked me for directions. I got a little nervous but gave them to her. She looked at me strange because of my heavy male voice but she thanked me. It was the best night out for me. I never worried who was around or who looked at me. It was great!

Everyone counts for something.


I will be out tonight dressed and I can't wait. It's been a while but I have made Friday evenings 'Genevieve's Night On The Town'. I would like to do this more often but I have classes 3 times a week.

I am going shopping this weekend for a skirt or a dress, possibly a blouse and some shoes. I need to get the wardrobe built up. Now I have to figure out where I'm going to keep all my clothes.

It seems like the better clothing styles come out in January than in December. They're hold back on us. I'm going to be out more this year so I need to purchase more clothes. My problem is where am I going to put all these clothes.

I saw a lovely wrap around dress that I like on me. I've made up my mind to be out more often. I've designated Friday evening as my time to be my femme self.

I will be getting my computer repaired this week. Meanwhile, I'm using one at work or at the Center nearby.

LET YOUR INNER BEAUTY SHINE FORTH

The more that I think about it, the more that I need to be out in public as Genevieve. If 2006 is any indication, 2007 promises to be more eventful. I think a major discovery or change will happen in my life. I don't know what it is at this time.

I have Native-American blood and I am quite interest in this part of my heritage. For some reason, I feel that the change will have something to do with this part of me. I want to know if I am two spirited and if there is an ancestral prophecy to be fulfilled.

Happy New Year to one and all. I pray that 2007 will be a good year for all. It's a clean slate, so to speak. I have set a few goals that I will accomplish duirng the year. Last year was a bonanza for me with numerous goals achieved. My goals are 2007 are:

1. Attend more TG events.

2. Improve my make-up skills.

3. Become involved with TG organizations.

4. Become knowledgeable about two tg issues.

5. March in New York City pride parade in June.
