Taking off and landing: learning to live as transgender

Swan landingSome people take a few quick paddles, spread their wings, and up they go. Then, with a perfect glide, they find where they want to be and settle with hardly a ripple or feather undisturbed. I wouldn’t want to equate myself with a swan, but have you seen them take off and land? There’s a lot of bird in the serene, white creatures that, in facing pairs, form a romantic heart! Well, that’s me too. Maybe I appear calm and flowing, even romantic – but new things in life keep me beating the waves a bit too long. But at least I fly, and I know my take-offs and landings aren’t always tidy.

This site is so we can share a bit of transgender life – the take-offs and landings – and maybe discover some good things! I write (mainly poetry), I publish (and make eBooks), I edit, I design, I play the trumpet too – and I get things done. I also happen to be transsexual, and if you are interested, I want to improve the understanding and increase the respect of anyone who does not know how to handle something so ‘different’ as being transgender, and can only fear or ridicule. There are rather a lot of people like me, and this is a bit of the human story. You will find me very open and honest, but of course this can only be my own perspective.
