In January, almost a year ago, I met with Dr. Satterwhite in SF. Don’t know who he is? Well he is going to perform my gender surgery. Gender surgery? Yes. It has gone by a variety of acronyms, none of which are without issue. Suffice it to say this is THE surgery. Yup, that one. THE one, lol. Still confused, well then maybe that’s for the best and we will leave it at that. The date that I chose for…
The other day I received the following email: Followed you for a very long time and proud of your accomplishments, but thinking of taking you off the list of places I go often. I know you’re busy-you lead a full life for sure-and it shows. Rare new bits and pieces, and not updated to often like it once was. So,time to move on. Thanks for the ride. My response at first was that I cried. After a bit I got…
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.…

No, but I could lose my readers, and for that I am sorry. Is there anyone here…
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…
If you are unaware, this is a podcast with my friend Dana Barr Galante and myself. Initially we were a pilot program of The Source, in Visalia. We recorded about 8 episodes while recording “under” them. It was fairly quickly determined that Dana and I are hilarious as fuck, however, we are also quite “adult” in nature. We like to swear like drunken sailors, talk shit about any politician or political party we chose, and on occasion we will talk about that…
In the middle of March will come my next vacation – Spring Break baby!!! Where will I be headed? Mexico? Bahamas? Hawaii? Palm Springs even? Ha! No. I will be spending my spring break vacation inside of college classrooms trying to help educate about what it is to be transgender. At heart I am an educator, so yeah, even during my vacation I will try and put forth my smallish efforts to help support both my transgender community and my…
