Whatever you do, do not transition just to prove a point! Yea, I know you know this, but it's worth repeating.
And I share your frustration in my own odd little way. :hugs:
As we don't really...
Aw, shucks... :o
Another book suggestion: She's Not the Man I Married: My Life with a Transgender Husband by Helen Boyd. Aside from being a totally cool woman, Helen is a gifted writer....
Hi Felix,
From Wikipedia:
In the context of the above, you definitely fit the demographic. :)
It might help to do a bit of reading with respect to Queer Theory. An excellent place to...
Well...
Have a look here for my take: Being Genderqueer: What it Means for Me
More later... :)

Thank you all for your good words here.
So people are clear, I do not go to work in a dress or a skirt. Personally, it's simply not who I am. I do present myself as more 'feminine' than masculine,...
We have managing directors who are openly gay and lesbian and they are the people chairing the LGBT network. My firm has embraced diversity in the broader sense - which is really impressive.
As...
It's been three full months since my profile was posted. To date, the LGBT network's received the most hits ever that month - must have been that there was something different there. ;) They...
Dude, it is so cool that you're back! :cool:
Welcome to the club. Confusion helps to keep you from making rash decisions - while simultaneously sucking big time. My advice: be patient, and...
Hi Kitty,
If you don't mind, I'll stick my half-TS gender-queer nose into this to give you my thoughts.
IMNSHO, you have been and continue to be taken advantage of by your husband - words I'm...
For me, it's not so much "I don't want to pass" as "I don't care if I pass"... And it's all the time, Sophia.
Don't worry, you still look great!
Love Ya,
Donna
Monday, Oct 2 - my pic and personal profile have been posted on the my firm's LGBT website: accessable to all 20,000+ employees globally.
Is it too late to change my mind??? :o
Love & Stuff,...
Marla,
You know better than to ask me this question. ;)
Binary Sex... maybe.
Binary Gender... sorry, not buying it.
I don't need to be named by others.
We Italians are classy that way. :rolleyes:
A big congrats to you, signore!
Love & Stuff,
Signorina Donna
Hi Jamie,
I don't do the skirts and dresses thing. I did in the past and while it's still 'fun', it's not who I really am. Weekends are spent in jeans and t-shirts and during the week (for work)...
Hi All,
In for a penny - in for a pound. I knew that this was the next, inevitable step.
I am to be the Gay & Lesbian network's "Employee Profile of the Month" for the month of October. A...
Excellent point. There are many who hug the outer edges of the gay and lesbian communities - unwilling to let go of 'man' or 'woman' regardless of how outwardly trans they might be. In many ways,...
The clothes wind up being such an important part of this simply because how we dress is one of the most powerful signifiers we have. People place so much importance on how one appears - especially in...
Absolutely. These are very 'non-sticky' labels when applied to transpeople.
I personally have come to the point where who and what I find 'attractive' has very little to do with sex (body...
Female bodies 'masculinize' better that male bodies 'feminize'. Transmen have a better time 'passing' as T will bulk you up, lower your voice (a bit) and give you that all important body and facial...
Hi Sally,
There is a the notion that sex, gender and sexuality are stabilizing constructs: that to be a male man attracted to female women or a female woman attracted to male men is all that makes...
Donna Lynn Matthews
No real relation between the names. I choose Donna because I liked it. Lynn sounded good with Donna - and my middle name is Matthew.
Love & Stuff,
Donna
For sure, we are seen a one large group of freaks by those who have no tolerance - but then, no matter what we do, they will still see us the same way. :mad:
Communities is a much better way to...
And... How does it feel? :D
Congrats! The next one will be even easier. ;)
Love & Stuff,

Hi Christina,
I have considered this, but I need to do this for my own well being.
I have the advantage of being non client facing (I'm in IT) and that most all the other 'big dogs' have...
