I really feel as if I am surrounded by chaos, it all seems a bit surreal. I do not pretend to be an expert, simply a mature trans woman trying to meander my way through a reasonably straightforward life. I know that I have become much more aware since transitioning, largely because I no longerContinue reading “Chaos”

A friend of mine asked me if I had read a couple of books by Michael Mayne. She has gone away on leave for a week hopefully to recharge her batteries. She had taken one of them away with her to “dip into”. The answer was no, I had not heard of him. As sheContinue reading “The Sunrise of Wonder”

From not wanting to be political, it seems I feel I need to go there again.  The Government for some time has been consulting over the reform of the Gender Recognition Act for both England and Wales as well as Scotland. The consultations were overwhelmingly in favour of reform. The proposed reforms also formed partContinue reading “EHRC”

I am making an exception in that I do not want to use this blog as a political platform in anyway, apart from commenting from time to time about transphobia which is a political issue. However, following my last post on Integrity I am so wound up by the present situation  with this government that IContinue reading “Beyond Parody”

This is a word, with some relevance these days concerning politicians. I am not interested in this post about actual party politics, it is irrelevant. Yes of course it is prompted by our current Prime Minister and his difficulties but it is not about any political party. My thoughts are more general.

In truth this would not really be accurate as that is only my interpretation.  One of theContinue reading “Another lesson”

 A New Year. I do not believe in Resolutions since once they are broken, and that in my case is usually only a few weeks at best, they do not get put back in place. I prefer to use the New Year as a time to take stock and set some aims for the comingContinue reading “Choices”

Nothing seems to improve in the world around us and I am finding it quite difficult to continue to ignore it. I do not think it is just the political chaos that is swirling around us at the moment, I feel it is more related to the uncertainty of how this is all going toContinue reading “Visiting”

I try not to be political and normally I could be classed in the neutral to apathetic group of voters often feeling any vote I cast is unlikely to make any real difference whatever my beliefs and convictions. Yes I have written about transphobia and how there is a deliberate push by our present governmentContinue reading “I don’t believe it”

It has been a weekend when I have been noticing quite a few trans people, mainly trans women expressing their concerns about what seems to be going on around trans people at the moment, with several expressing that they wondered whether or not they would have come out of the closet if they had knownContinue reading “Growing hostility”
