Why Transgenders should NOT take advice from Non-Transgender friends...

Chillin at home… in full girlie mode… after a long day of work!

It’s times like these that make my “second job” somewhat tolerable (knowing I’ll be home soon and can unwind Ala-fem).

It’s too bad I didn’t know several years ago, what I know today… before I moved here.

I’m longing for days gone by… when I used to work from home and could be myself 24/7…

Back then; my WORST DAY was MUCH BETTER than what my BEST DAY is now.

The moral of the story is: If your heart tells you that the “advice” you are getting is NOT in your best interest, follow your heart instead.

Your inner voice will always lead you down the path that is truly right for you.

Make-overs... Maybe it's time to talk to a professional?

I've never gone for a professional make-over... it's all trail and error with me.
That being said... I think I stumbled upon a pretty good look here!

Lost a bit of weight -- and a bit of my sanity -- over the summer, but still keep trying to overcome the everyday hassles, and trying to find a more transgender friendly job and location (any suggestions?).

Massachusetts Transgender Summer Blues

Well… It’s been a long hard summer…Working 80 hours a week doesn’t leave much time for posting or anything else.

Also, while trying to enjoy what little free time I had, a neighboring family was constantly trying to make my life a living Hell with various forms of harassment, which I won't go into. I've gone out of my way to be "neighborly" to them, yet their favorite hobby seems to be trying to make my home life miserable. (They NEVER go out and don't have any friends... so I guess that's why they they obsess so much on causing conflict with their neighbors). I'm NOT the type of person to let things like that slide, but no matter what I do, they just get keep getting worse.

The irony is: The husband, who tries to be anything BUT a friend in real life, is also one of the guys that has been constantly trying to "friend me" on URNA and Flickr. (Side note: He doesn't have a clue that I'm the same girl that he is trying so hard to contact online!)

I sometimes wish I could be an Ahole...and send the wife an email letting her know that her "perfect husband" is trying to pick up Transgenders online... then hopefully they would get divorced and move out... 

  





  
  

Summer Bummer Conclusion

I guess the answer for me was #3 (Screw It).

I am happier being who I really am... so I chose to go hairless.

My legs are smooth again (Yay!)... but I’m not sure how I’ll feel when the warm weather returns to Boston and I want to wear shorts again. Suck it up buttercup… Don’t worry about what may or may not be.

  

Summer Bummer – Men Who Shave Legs

As much as I love the warm weather, I also look forward to the winter because I can shave my legs and chest without being paranoid about it.

Even though there are straight guys that shave their legs and/or chest, I’m still a bit paranoid of the comments that would arise if I wore shorts with razor stubble visible.

So the questions that face me are:

Do I let the hair grow back? (This would keep society happy but would make me itch and knock about 6 points from my “piece of mind scale”)

Do I keep shaving and just not wear shorts and tank tops? (I’d probably look stupid on warm days and sweat my ass off)

Do I say, “screw it” and do what will keep me happier, but may make me miserable in the long run?

I’m sure that many Trans-genders, Transvestites and Metro-sexuals can relate to this dilemma. But for those who are just curious, what would be a simple decision to most people is sometimes a major decision to a Trans-gender who is living a dual life.
