Strutting Away from Shame

By Hannah McKnight There are a zillion ways someone like us can identify as. From the day I learned the word I identified as a crossdresser. When I heard the word transgender I felt it encompassed me more, but it was years until I identified that way. I define transgender as anyone who is outside of the traditional gender norms. A boy who wears eyeliner or paints his nails? Someone killing onstage in drag? A man who wears panties under his three piece suit? I believe they all fall under the bright pink transgender umbrella. Under that umbrella is a term that probably describes who I am the bes ..read more

By Carollyn Olson Ooooooooooooh, to wish I knew then what I know now. But, then again, would I have put everything I have learned in near 40 years of crossdressing into practice? Many of you know, from my earlier articles, I was a late bloomer when it came to crossdressing, starting at age 32. When I began, the internet was non-existent and Payless Shoes, or any major department store for that matter, did not carry women’s shoes above size 10. Now, at age 72, so much has changed and there are so many opportunities for younger crossdressers to develop into “the woman they want to be” at an ea ..read more

Online, Ourselves

By Hannah McKnight Girls like us tend to be resourceful. Although a bad selfie, after an hour of carefully applying our makeup, can send us into a pit of despair and depression (trust me, I've been there, and I am there more often than I would want to admit), we are generally determined to try again. I know girls like me who carefully modify earrings into a clip-on style because she can't get her ears pierced. I know girls who have developed an intricate, and multi-step process in blending different types and different shades of foundation to counter the slight blue-ish tint that a beard line ..read more

By Hannah McKnight I hate hearing about how we are all on a journey.  It gives the impression that we are forever wandering and looking to find something, or to arrive somewhere.  That discovering ourselves is something that is never finished and we are looking for a destination where we will never arrive.  When I hear about other t-girls and their journey, I tell myself my journey is over.  I have arrived, and I have arrived fabulously.  I am not looking for who I am, I am not trying to find myself.  I am finished.  I am complete.  If I was on a journe ..read more

Taking the Next Step - Goals and Challenges

By Hannah McKnight I know its a cliche but I love a fresh start. I love being able to begin again, I love starting over. I love a challenge, I love setting goals. I love taking the next step. In stilettos, naturally. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I would go to the mall and avoid glancing over at the lingerie sections of a department store lest someone figure out my secret. I am not sure when I found the courage to do so, or where that bravery came from, but one day I bought a pair of panties and never looked back. I never thought I would do anything more fearless than that, but fa ..read more

Managing the Pink Fog

By Hannah McKnight Coming out will definitely change your life. It will change the life of the the person you come out to. In some ways your life will be better, it may be harder, but your life will undoubtedly become more complicated. When you choose to come out (as opposed to being "caught"), you have accepted your new, or dual, gender identity. Regardless of how you identify, your wardrobe is likely getting a makeover. And it is the best thing ever. As complicated and difficult as coming out is, there is a part of you that is liberated. You are no longer denying who you are, even if you ar ..read more

A Perfect World

By Hannah McKnight For me, the gateway was heels.  At five years old I was fascinated and mesmerized by anything that girls wore.  I longed to wear skirts, lipstick, and that gorgeous princess dress my sister had.  It would be another year or so until the elaborate and delicate lingerie modeled by mannequins in department stores became my new obsession, but my first experience in this beautiful world was sneaking into a closet and trying on a pair of my mom's high heels.  Of course they were way too big for me but it was a thrilling moment that decades later I can recall w ..read more

By Hannah McKnight If you are like me, you have been who you are for your entire life.  This side of you likely started at an early point in your life.  It evolved over time.  You became bolder, braver, more confident that that this side of you was, and will always be a part of you.  It is not a phase, it is not something you will outgrow.  If you're lucky, you have embraced this side of yourself and you wouldn't change this part of you even if you could. If you are like me, you have kept this side of you to yourself.  I have never been ashamed about this side of who I am, but I have always ..read more

By Hannah McKnight I have written previously about the importance of being honest with your significant other.  It is not only essential (and the right thing to do) to disclose who you are (and what you like to wear) to your partner, it is also critical to be honest with yourself.  This is a beautiful part of you that will not go way.  This is not a phase.  This is not something that will lessen or diminish over time.  Quite the opposite, actually.  If you deny your true self, or fail to acknowledge this, or any part of you, it will actually strengthen.  This is who you are.  When you meet ..read more

Explaining the Unexplainable
CrossdresserPhotoBlog - Transgendered life and Crossdressing

By Hannah McKnight There are two enormous reasons why I don't come out to more people in my life. The first is that coming out is very, very exhausting.  The conversation is long, there are a lot of questions, and I find myself trying to explain the unexplainable. I don't mind the questions, however.  Questions are usually asked in an effort to understand someone else. But again, this is a conversation that is usually dominated by trying to explain something that really can't be put into words.  Why do I do this? Why am I who I am?  Dresses, panties, stilettos are simply more interesting th ..read more
