A life merely glimpsed: Indeterminacy

A life merely glimpsed. Journeys in crossdreaming, crossdressing and autogynephilia. Thursday, 16 April 2015. Karen Gillan goes stateside. And yet she is not ineluctable. She can be banished by obligation. On working days, and on the eve of working days, she makes herself scarce. Thankfully. It’s frustrating. As an intellectual, I bring my full cerebral firepower to bear on this problem, yet still I can’t ‘crack’ it. I can’t explain adequately what. I feel or why. I feel whatever it is I feel. And yet th...

A life merely glimpsed: Blame it on the net?

A life merely glimpsed. Journeys in crossdreaming, crossdressing and autogynephilia. Monday, 11 August 2014. Blame it on the net? Eugenie Bouchard: used to playing at the net. I've been trying to decide why my intimations of transgenderism have become so strong in mid-life. I begin to suspect that the key development may not be turning 50 or hitting some kind of ‘midlife crisis’, it’s outside myself – technological advance. In a word, the internet. Around 2007 I got broadband at home and started to explo...

A word about tucking. I know I don’t often speak about my dressing routine specifics but today I wanted to briefly touch the subject of tucking. I suppose everyone has their own method but I will share mine with you. Friday, 29 August 2014. Why is this important? Because that knowledge should help us to relax a...

Musings from my everyday life. Thoughts and ideas (plus a little gender theory) from an intellectually curious, coffee-addicted and relatively content transgender person. Monday, 10 August 2015. Of clothes and changes coming. I no longer shop for women's clothes in retail stores. In fact, I rarely buy clothing at all. The shoes pictured below were not long ago purchased from a site called Long Tall Sally which caters to taller women. They are stylish, comfortable and, most importantly,not too high...

Musings from my everyday life. Thoughts and ideas (plus a little gender theory) from an intellectually curious, coffee-addicted and relatively content transgender person. Saturday, 15 August 2015. Having it remain a mental disorder left one with the impression that this was the product of a delusional mind and that despite its offer of treatment, the psychiatric community was saying it could provide a solution without necessarily standing behind the patient’s claims. This is why my scepticism of the psyc...

Her voice was deep for a woman and she was dressed in androgynous attire which did not immediately betray her gender;without hearing her speak you might need to reflect to ascertain it.
