Zap…Ouch! Laser Hair Removal Isn’t Painless
August 29, 2006

OK, I didn’t expect the Laser Hair Removal process to be painless but let me just say…holy f**ck! (Of course, I was dumb and turned down the lidocane cream they offered. I won’t make that mistake again!) It’s not like the pain is unbearable…each shot just hurts a little but when the shots come one [...]

Here’s the full text of the email from the infamous Dave (see previous post) regarding my recent coming out.

A Bad Reaction to Coming Out
August 25, 2006

I had my first bad reaction to coming out recently with a long-time friend, Shep. I’ve known him since 1st grade so that makes for a total of 32 years! Anyway, when I spoke to him over the phone he seemed to take the news fine. Then, last night, he chatted me through AIM [...]

Scrap Books and Other Odds-And-Ends
August 23, 2006

Just recently I insisted I probably wouldn’t be interested in scrap booking. I’m still probably not interested in scrapping per se but my therapist assigned me the mission of creating one to include ideas about how I’d like to present as a female. This sounded like a reasonable and helpful idea so here I am [...]

Transgender Movie Sunday
August 21, 2006

My wife and I went to my trans-gender support group’s movie day yesterday (Sunday) to see “Different For Girls” and so that she could meet everyone. They’re a really good bunch and the movie was fun. I have to say though that of all the TG/TS movies I’ve seen this is the last one I [...]

Coming Out, Part III
August 21, 2006

On Saturday one of my friends (Barry) held a LAN party at his house. (Quake III still rocks!) Brent called and asked for a ride so I figured this would be a good opportunity to come out to him over lunch. Again, everything went well although he was speechless for about a [...]

Coming Out, Part II
August 18, 2006

Yesterday was a big day. I met Bryan for lunch and gave him the scoop and he seemed to take it very well. He also mentioned that he thought that Tom was on to the fact that something was going on so I decided to have dinner with him and tell him as [...]

More Training Videos
August 17, 2006

Last night we went for a walk and I was upset because I couldn’t get the hang of walking like a female. God, the strange stuff I worry about these days! Anyway, after moping around a bit after we got back to the house I consulted the oracle of our modern age: Google.
Sure [...]

Coming Out
August 17, 2006

Perhaps the fact that my wife took the news so well has emboldened me more than can be justified rationally but today I’m coming out to good friend who I think can handle the news with aplomb. Why is he such a good candidate? Well, he has a lot of gay and lesbian [...]
