Hatred

9

I make no secret of the fact that my vagina is the product of some very expensive surgery to correct a birth defect. I'm female in every way, except that I wasn't born properly formed and had to have a sex change to correct all the messiness. Now I'm normal and happy ... except ... I'm fighting vicious depression as my boss at my university...

You are truly an inspiration for the human spirit.  It takes great courage and strength of character to stand by yourself and be true to who you are.  Don't let the actions of an ignorant person crush that spirit.  You are beautiful, strong, and can help so many others who need an example like yourself to give them the courage to be true to who they are.

Argh, @tamikitten, I feel for you. That type of discrimination is rampant all over the world; it’s especially bad in some parts of the United States. I am still shocked by the hatred that some people express, especially when they claim to follow religions that profess to be about love. I sincerely hope that you don’t lose the position that you’ve worked so hard to achieve. But don’t feel that you’re alone in your struggle; DM me if you need to rant and receive support without someone trying to fix you. 💗💜🖤🤗

Oh, no! More ink!

Well, it's not coloured (and I'm not quite sure what colours it is going to be), but now my right leg has something I've dreamed of having for years. While I'm anti-violence and anti-guns, I thought it would be cute to have a little James Bond gun tucked into a garter. Brianna (Brass Anchor, Halifax, NS) once again came through with artwork I totally love....

Moving

13

Well, after 3 days of hard work, I'm mostly settled back at home. No more staying in temporary rentals, spare rooms, couch surfing, and motels. I'm finally back in my own home. I've really missed the place. The only thing wrong is that I live alone and for the past 18 months I've had people around most of the time, so loneliness is worse. I'm...

Part 2 Now Done

27

Well, I had the second part of my left leg coloured today. Now my vine runs from my ankle to mid thigh. It's not done, but I'm letting this one heal a month or two and starting on the garter that's going on my right thigh. I really like how this one has come out and I think Brianna did an awesome job (as always).

Some Weekends are Awful

12

First, I just want to say "Sorry I've not been around and have ignored everyone for a few days!"

Well, while not as bad as some of your weekends (I know some of you face really difficult challenges that I can't begin to understand as much as I try) my weekend was still pretty awful. I've met 3 women using online dating, had 3 "dates"...

Glad you're feeling better.  It's too bad the dating isn't turning out well at the moment.  There's a ton of superficial people out there, so don't sweat it too much. You will find what you are looking for =D

New Ink

22

I need to go away for the weekend to help a friend at her vacation house. But, before I go, I get to head off to see Brianna (my artist) and get the next part of my leg tattoo lined. We do each segment in two steps, lines and then colouring about 2 weeks later. I've had my ankle to knee done and tomorrow I...

What do you teach ??
tamikitten:
@chef Call me odd, but I teach computing, mathematics, English, and sometimes psychology or gender studies. Mostly computing though (which is kinda boring, but pays the bills).

Blog Homework

14

"Share something you have crafted or DIY'd that you're proud of."

Well, I'm not a hopeful (yet) but I figured I'd start to get in some practice. I like making stuff, so this was a hard one to answer. I think the things I'm most proud of are:

1. A book I made, hand sewn binding, hand cut pages of thick soft paper, japanese printed...

@bookcouple Thank you! I like making stuff. Whether I'm working with fabric, paper, wood, metal, or any combination, it's all fun. I'm a Jill of all trades, Mistress of none. I really enjoy learning new things and doing something I've not done before.

Fairly good at diy myself.  Landscaped part garden few weeks back and put down Cotswolds stone. Now restoring a rabbit hutch for new rabbit next year. I also make keyrings amd fridge magnets. On growing scotch thistle plants at moment. Have growing from seed.

Ten! Somehow, I have 10 followers. I have no idea how or why, but I've got at least 10 people who are interested in what I've got to say. I think that is pretty awesome actually and I just wanted to thank those of you who took the time to follow me here. I'll do my best to post interesting comments and try to be...

Thoughtful and tasteful are the way I like to go with my comments....I agree with your opinion on the women that post. It does take courage and there is a lot more to a lot of these women if you  can look past the photo sets  and into their profiles and posts. BV

Weekend is over

13

My long weekend is over and I'm back in SG-land again. I managed to peek in a few times (it was a Canadian holiday -- Thanksgiving) while I was mostly offline because I just kind of missed the place. It was a great escape and very relaxing, but now I'm looking forward to getting caught up and connected again.
