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…
I am going to try this post and see how it goes. My mission is to try and retell the events, without making too much of a judgement. That is going to be hard, as I am clearly judging this person, and what happened, however I’d really prefer for it to be a learning experience instead of a ripping experience. I honestly don’t know if that is going to be possible. So then why try? Well, I am an educator…
This is what I wore to a local LGBT+ event. I live near Visalia, Ca and our main resource center is The Source. For the past few years they have been doing a fundraising event called Over the Edge. People pledge to make so much money in donations and if they meet their goal, then they repel off the highest structure in the city. I personally do not want to repel off the building, no matter what, so I just…
