Recently I was up near my favorite outlet mall, Livermore CA outlets. I think the real name is something like San Francisco Premium Outlets, or some such thing. Anywho….. I didn’t have much in mind that I wanted to shop for, except for a relaxing time at the mall. And I did relax, but I also found way too many cute items that apparently I just had to have. Low is me. How could it be possible that I have…

The Adjacent Possible
January 27, 2017I have been gathering some ideas to do a write up on how to shop successfully at outlet malls while being transgender. Though the snarky part of me keeps saying, that’ll be a short article; to shop successfully you need to just do it! There ya go! Short, simple, sweet, and to the point! But then, I do understand that I do have a bit of flair in shopping well. There might just be some tips I could offer to…

Sometimes Being Out Is a Responsibility I Don’t Want
September 19, 2016Is it easy to be out or in the closet? I think this is something that many of us part timers ponder. I mean if you are facing certain transition, then the question is moot. You’re not going to transition to the other gender entirely and spend your time sitting in a closet all by yourself. Life couldn’t possibly get done that way. For those who are just an occasional cross dresser, then again, I think the question is easily…

Bracelets, Bracelets, & Even More Bracelets!!!
August 10, 2016Work, work, work!! I’m so funny! Why? Well….. I didn’t have to work a couple of weeks ago, but I volunteered for the contract, and thus worked I did. Then this past week, the same thing happened. Next week, I’m back to my regular employment. All of this wondrous work has left me a bit stressed out, a bit more moolah in the bank, but a bit tense. So how did I spend my weekend? Working! Ha! Well, is it…

It’s Bound to Happen
April 2, 2016So here I am, Nadine, in my normal state! Ha! Seriously, this is how I normally am dressed; in sort of this half and half state. It is honestly when I feel the most comfortable with myself. Not fully presenting as a woman, nor fully presenting as a man. Though I do consider this as my male presentation. In this photo I am wearing my newest top from Target, it is kind of a cowl neck hoodie. Um…super cute! I…
I don’t know if you have noticed, but I sure have; since about July or so I have been FAR more conflicted about my gender than I have ever been before. I used to be so secure in my knowledge that I exist somewhere in the middle of the gender spectrum. But when reviewing my blog and pondering what I should pontificate about today, I see a shift in my thoughts. Round and round I go, endlessly spinning my mental…
What does it mean to be comfortable? I get it when you are talking about things like shoes, or clothes, or temperatures and the like, but when it comes to my gender it becomes much more difficult for me to put into words well. I write little bits and blurbs and then quickly erase them as they don’t seem to capture the essence of what I am feeling. I have tried talking with cisgender folks about it and they really…
