Hello all! All of this alone time during Shelter in Place has allowed me quite a bit of time to consider things. It has been an interesting time of reflection for me. Especially with a variety of anniversaries looming on the horizon. June 6th will be 1 year out from the orchi, June 28th 2 years since I legally became female and changed my name, July 3rd 3 years since I chose to take the leap and change my hormones.…
I got a letter from a student yesterday: Dear Mrs. K Denithorne (don’t know how to spell it), You are my favorite teacher because you made learning math, which I did not like, easier and teaching me to think of different ways to solve a problem not just giving up in math and other things. Something that I will miss from your class is how comfortable you made it and how you had a fun way of teaching. This letter…
The last time I wrote I it was the first time I had to go shopping during this viral crisis we are all experiencing. Today is about the 3rd or 4th time I have gone shopping. Well it was yesterday, but the picture from above was taken right before I stepped out of the car. I wasn’t real sure about shopping with a mask covering my face. It certainly felt weird and out of place. But hey, I’ve transitioned and…
https://www.unordinarystyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/zoom_0.mp4 For this year’s spring break I was scheduled to give about a dozen in-person presentations to various college classes here in California’s Central Valley. Needless to say, with Covid 19 currently ravaging the world, my presentations were cancelled. Several teachers asked me if I could make something available on-line for their students. Initially I said, oh heck no! Being as I have never video taped myself before, ever, I was super set against such an experiment. However, often when…
Wanna know the last time I shaved my face? Thanksgiving. That would make it five and a half weeks ago. I had my last electro session on December 7th and my next one will be tomorrow (it was January 3rd when I first wrote this draft.) While I am not totally hair free on my face as of yet, you can see the results for yourself. I have been waiting to see if I could make it between sessions without…
May 2016 to November 2019 This past Tuesday I was at The Source in Visalia. We were having our transgender group night. On that evening we had an informal meeting, a potluck, and generally just socialized. It was fun as it was something we have never done before. We normally go around in a circle and discuss anything we want to have. Sort of like a rotating speakers platform. Anywho…. on this night, we were just standing around, eating, and…
I literally raised my hand and put my palm out towards his face and said “I seriously cannot do this,” and I walked away while asking my wife to take over. She kindly went and found the repairman while I went and had a cigarette. I thought I was pretty clear on the whole male privilege thing. I mean I have been dressing as me for about the last fifteen to twenty years. I have experienced people. I have experienced…
