This is the ballroom before the stage is dropped. A hotel steward asked me if I was in the right room. I showed him our drawings and asked if he would please drop another tech table and add a power drop at the rear. When he said “yes, ma’am” I honestly could have died. I am so close to finally sharing with the world the creative woman I have always been. OMG!!!!!!!! 💜☮️
Favorite dress day. Oh…I also received my first pair of women’s prescription glasses from Steph’s Warby Parker eye appointment a few weeks ago.
Part of yesterday’s risky morning included pushing a shopping cart through contractor-filled Home Depot. I was shopping for lighting decor and definitely experienced a healthy dose of fear. I’ll give myself a 75% grade with respect to fear conquering and a 100% for Trans-Girling.
Peace, Love, and Distance
☮️💜😷
Non-Glam post as requested. Thank you to a few of my girlfriends for the inspiring support. This is me transitioning and being true to my spirit. No regrets for being a shorts and t-shirt trans girl most everyday. I love fashion, especially nice frocks and bags but at this age I prefer not to make poor wardrobe decisions that could result in an uncomfortable day.
I still love playing music and producing media, playing golf, tennis, and riding bikes, creating and delivering exciting events for a diverse range of clientele, and most of all I cherish my family whether they understand my feminine changes or not. Regretfully, emancipation and transitioning does not work with all of the people you encounter, know, or love. Ain’t life a Bitch! ☮️💜
Early TBT to last year’s October Walmart selfie stick modeling shoot. How ironic is this? That same top is hanging in my hotel closet right now.
Today is my 34M Estroversary. Yay! This picture marks 2020 as the last Christmas I will have to hide my true self.
In preparation for transition, I have been busy on Linked In creating “Her Why,” a page dedicated to sharing the unique source of empowered women.
Please stop by and check it out.💜☮️
Tomorrow marks 22 months on this slow transition journey. I am traveling next week and I’m not sure I’ll pack much beyond my standard ”andro-wear.” The paradox is our client is a woman owned company who may announce 2019 was their first billion dollar year. I’m looking forward to hugging and congratulating the owner and her daughter Saturday at their awards gala. #girlpower 💜☮️
Hell no I’m not too old for this! Next month will produce another near geriatric birthday and I don’t care. Heading to the register now. 😂☮️💜
Just a girl out for errands, an eyebrow appointment, and then NYE dress shopping. Oh yeah, heading to the warehouse to blow some minds. Karen and Destiny have seen a few pictures, but neither of them have met Steph in person yet. Let’s see what happens! 💋💜☮️
Yesterday I enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL spring time garden walk. There were a lot of of elder couples walking together. Of course my lonely mind was overtaken by many enchanting thoughts of a suitor. This girl thing is very real...thankfully.
by Frizztext a while ago, so here goes………16 things that won't be of any interest to anyone :-)
1.I love books – having them as well as reading them. I only read in English.
2.Making choices is not a talent of mine.
3.I think in this day and age, people can afford to be less selfish towards exploitation of animals.
4.My boyfriend lives a 2 hour drive away.
5.I like furniture and knick-knacks from before the 80’s.
6.I can’t sleep without earplugs.
7.My cats are my babies. I would jump in front of a bullet for them.
8.I can’t stand injustice.
9.In the past I have had many parttime jobs. Being a postman I enjoyed best.
10.I have always been a bit of a tomboy.
11.I think that people who say that there’s never anything interesting on TV just want to present themselves as an interesting character, Anyway, I disagree.
12.I love very dark chocolate.
13.I also love movies, though not the typical Hollywood ones. I watch them as often as possible and visually they inspire me a lot.
14.When I was little I had goldfish. One of them reached the age of 24, when I had to have him put to sleep because of a tumor.
15.People that insist on being politically correct in words bore me.
16.I think I was some kind of comic animated character in a previous life.
(p.s. The 16 people I will tag will get a mail from me and i hope I won't put them off by it!)
p.s. 2. Oh and I forgot one...for years I have wished I was in a band...but i can't play any instrument good enough nor can I sing so it's unlikely that will ever happen.
It was a lovely day. Regretfully some people are becoming more brazen as I was purposely misgendered twice today. One may say we both might be a bit ridiculous. Who is actually crazier? Me in a dress, full hair and make up, carrying a purse and proudly displaying two size 40C girls; expecting to be gendered female or the obtuse male bank teller and his smarty pants Jimmy Johns contemporary ruling their drive-through domains with hate. Ha!!!
I have learned to laugh it off after the initial sting. It is really kind of crazy. Just think, TSA get’s it right and polite every time, why can’t everyone else?
💜“So this is Trans.” Taken yesterday at our local Target, I texted this to a dear friend:
“Good morning,
This topper may be a bit pedestrian but blended with my real hair it provides a strong sense of self confidence.”
Since 2012 I have been working on trying to solve my hair confidence issues. Although some of my fears may seem driven by vanity, the price of transgender safety and self-awareness is too scary of target to miss.
Here I am, ready to update StillVeryTrans.com this weekend while still practicing safety and fortitude.
Submitted with love in a pedestrian vision, Steph☮️💜
Well, I just left the DMV as a scared middle aged woman. Although my present license is quite “andro-fem” I am quite anxious about making this final commitment in my transition. I’ll be back.
The facts are:
- I am a married BFF to my wife who hates this transition.
-I have been on HRT for more than 4 years.
-I live as a woman more than 75% of the time away from the office.
-I work as an andro-fem soul with my brother.
-I have traveled as a woman on almost every trip without any TSA trouble at all, sans a few standard pat downs.
-Both grown children know and still live at home.
-A few customers who know are fine with it and most all of our crew could care less as long as our company remains solvent.
This has been an incredibly long, medically supervised, deliberate journey, that regretfully has become more frightening due the climate of the times. Regardless, I remain Still Very Trans! ☮️💜
Ready for the Polo Fields and then join the after party at the Polo Museum Hall in Wellington. Anybody else ready to click those heels? AS IF! Who knows. Crazier things have happened. ☮️💜
Hmm…I feel like a girl, I walk like a girl, and I look like a girl. Guess I’m really a girl. What’s up that Mrs. Customer?!
I am tired of being scared. Here I am. A not so glamorous trans girl and this is part of my journey. Thank you all for being so sweet and encouraging. I LOVE OUR Flickr Family! 💋💋💋This was my first time ever swimming as Steph last year at a hotel in Mississippi. It’s a long story for another day but this was a welcome dip in the pool after a long day.☮️💜
I thought it would be nice to take the older big girls for a stroll. They haven’t been out in a very long time and think they were feeling a little cramped. Today I am not sure my baby C’s can can share their rooms anymore so I’ll probably have two pair of Amoena 8’s and 9’s listed on the Offer Up app soon. Girl stuff. ☮️💜
Today’s birthday picture celebrates fifty two months of medically supervised estradiol feminization.
Although HRT is not as potent at my age, it has definitely been a wonderful game changer. Oh has the game, venue, and players changed! ☮️💜
I am working on some marketing materials. Is there any chance one of these looks more decisive than the other? If so, maybe I should take charge and drop off this old coat off at the dry cleaners! 😘☮️💜
Today’s risky adventure is a work first. It’s 7am. I just checked into the hotel and went straight to the conference center. It’s not likely our clients could be hovering around but it’s is possible. 😙 The girl at the desk was sweet and smiled, yet didn’t she even flinch at my male license and credit card. Great Bonvoy training I guess!!!
Our crew arrives at 9am and the truck docks at 8:30am. Yes, I’m going to change but damn it’s nice arriving to work as me.
Although this is exactly how most of my clients dress, 90% of the time the future me will be relegated to black slacks and a black logo’d polo. Such is the life of a TD. 😘💜☮️
I just passed on this Torrid dress for a private Halloween party tonight. I so miss seeing everyone here and sharing. I am not ignoring our Flickr family, I am just exhausted from travel and some long 14-16 hour days. After today, I won’t be home again until the 22nd. Seriously thankful for all of the post Covid event work. ☮️💜
Happy Holidays everyone. Heading to the airport with new hair. I love the style and color but I am a little nervous with how it may function through the gymnastics of flying. “Excuse me sir, will you please stow my bag? I’m scared as hell my hair might fall off reaching the bin!” ☮️💜
Being a man or woman who struggles with their weight is what it is, frigging NORMAL!. (Not fishing for compliments here) Whether one is male or female, straight, trans, or gay we must vow to take better care of ourselves first and then we can become our best.
Regretfully the “Oxygen Mask First” lesson eluded me throughout my younger years. That didn’t make me a bad person for others, it only created havoc for myself. Thankfully as I move closer to a setting sun my true spirit is evolving and it is quite a revelation. Thank you to our sphere of special smart and supportive Flickr souls here. I love all of you guys and gals! ❤️ ☮️💜💋
Picking crew snacks before this morning’s rehearsals. Day 8 of back to back shows with only four hours of sleep last night. Such is the life of a “gratitude junkie” producer…My brother and I are crazy to love our clients this much, but oh how we do!!! So thankful. ☮️💜. Cheers to making a difference. 💋
Here is my new Linked In picture.

Since I am self-employed and almost a fully transitioning soul, it is finally time to start building a work profile for next year. Presently I am producing virtual conferences and live event webcasts that rival our pre-COVID convention center creations.
I have over 25 years of successful IT consulting and event production technology experience ready to drive new Q4 projects in 2021. Please let me know if we can help you or anyone you may know next year.
I miss our pre-pandemic lives and I miss you all so much. As a live-event producer, to say this year has been a tough transition is a severe understatement.
Today was my first “me-day” playing music in a long while. The best part is this was my first time recording live on battery power! I have been liquidating concert gear and investing in portable webcasting and streaming equipment.
Since March we have been locked in a silo rebranding our company as a vConference provider. The good news is we have now closed 7 out of 22 virtual event proposals and the team is starting become energized again.
So I guess 2020 will be known as the year of Ergonomics and Virtual Backgrounds while we ALL transition for our new futures. Who else is ready to shed your COVID-19+ pounds?!
Peace be with us all.
Love,
Steph ☮️💜😷
Not a great picture of our new logo’d apparel for 2022. This is the first time I have ordered women’s tops and jackets for myself. Part of me gasped a bit when I opened the boxes. At times I fear my transition may hurt some of our associate’s contract opportunities.
I truly believe we will be ok. CV19 has opened up an entirely new virtual conference vertical. Also we have gained new momentum marketing to Pride ally corporations and associations way before Covid. By Q1 of 2020 we replaced all of our church clients with new conferences and annual events. Even though we still field calls from houses of worship, we cheerfully refer them to partnering firms.
Who knows… when I am 100% full time maybe we’ll qualify as a minority owned or woman owned company! 😂 ☮️💜
This comparison depicts the changes within two years and a few months of medically supervised hormone therapy. Although the angles are slightly off, one can definitely see a softer rounder face in the recent picture. Before 2018 I was on a prescribed low 2mg of Estradiol for 36 months just to help me stay balanced and alive.
I am bit of a private sort; yet I have come out to family, close friends, and acquaintances. I pray sharing perspective may help someone with similar proclivities.
It took surviving a deadly car accident on 10/11/12 to begin advocating for my emancipation. I immediately declared my course correction and sought WPATH standard transition therapy. After 22 years of marriage one can imagine this started a war with my wife who married a gender dysphoric man who promised he would not transition. Yes, my wife knew before we tied the knot. The same is true for all of my long term girlfriends. Even on the first grade playground I would swap clothes with my girlfriends in the woods, wear their jackets, try on their shoes, and carry their purses. Ironically my main bully was a very pretty third grade girl. She went out of her way to torment me mentally and physically.
It was only a few years ago I learned how providential that car crash date has become in history. National Coming Out Day is recognized annually on October 11. The day celebrates individuals who publicly identify as bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender – coming out regarding their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
As stated before, I promised to refrain from going 100% full time until our special needs son graduates high school next year. “Not transitioning, “transition limbo,” or “living full-time” are all difficult stations to embrace. When my time comes next year I plan to still enjoy golf, music, soccer, work, and sunset into my later years as a transgender woman. I am already experiencing plenty of backlash and stares that should help me brace for the future. I also have a few wonderful transitioned women blazing ahead of me who thankfully keep me grounded and share how difficult my days may become as a woman. I say, good... It will be my pleasure to share every moment with family and friends that matter. Peace be with us. Submitted with love, Steph
