If you’ve decided to take the plunge and commit to transition, you’ll know that you have to live for a year as your chosen gender. In British Columbia, this is a prerequisite for applying for Medical Services Plan funding for Gender Reassignment Surgery, Nearly all surgeons performing GRS will also expect it. The one-year Real … Read more

It was a day just like any other. It dawned at its astronomically appointed hour. The sky was meteorologically clear. I awoke before my alarm clock (okay,perhaps I can be forgiven one deviation from the norm). I showered, dressed and had breakfast. And so, un-momentously, began one of the most momentous days of my life. … Read more

I looked in the mirror last night and saw myself. Hardly an earth-shattering observation; this is not exactly news which would grip the attention of media moguls or command a fleet of TV and radio vans to congregate on my lawn like a flock of migrating geese. It is, in short, rather self-evident. The next … Read more

(This was written a long time ago, but it seems fitting to use it as the first entry to my blog.) As many dear readers will know, I have begun the journey to transition. Well, perhaps it’s more like starting on a major leg of that journey; transition for me really began when I came … Read more

Groundhog Day, 2011. It’s my first anniversary of living full-time as myself. One year ago I finally thumbed my nose at my shadow. It’s a day like any other, of course: grocery shopping, errands and other unremarkable things. It’s like a birthday when you’re an adult: there’s nothing special or magical about it.

I was at Ikea the other day and came across this table which is designed as a laptop computer table but looks as if it would make a perfect makeup table.

It is called Vika Vein and if you search for this name you’ll see the item. Click on the picture for a closer look and you’ll see that the top opens up leaving space underneath. I think you could put a light mirror on the inside of the top, lay out all your cosmetcs on the bottom and place it on a table. Or, you can buy your own legs to go with it (Vika Moliden).

July 2010 issue of Vanity Fair reports a poll done through CBS which included the question:

If you could live in a movie for one day, whose life would you want to live ?

The choice of eight included three females;

Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City

Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman’s character) in Casablanca

Lara Croft in Tomb raider.

4% of male respondents chose Carrie.

3% of male respondents chose Ilsa

1% of male respondents chose Lara.

That’s 8% of males wanting female roles. Pretty good, eh ?

It is most disappointing that this site has so few people responding.

If this was Readers Digest, a title like the one above would almost certainly suggest an article about The Bible. Well, that’s not the case here. Not that I have anything against The Bible, although I do wish that the born-again types who have hijacked the name “Christian” would pay more attention to Christ’s message of love and tolerance in the New Testament and less to a God of vengeance and retribution that they seem to think is the only message in the Old Testament.

Good morning everyone;

The executive has been struggling for someime with coming up with ideas for various events. Last month we cancelled an event and so it is for March 27th. It is not for lack of trying to come up with things to do but certainly there has been difficulties in finding new and interesting things for the members to do.
