ABOUT ME

2020
 
Hello. Thanks for dropping by.

I’m a male to female trans person. Which in my own case has meant that, although I’m legally and superficially male, I have always felt a strong urge since I was very young towards living and being treated as female. I cannot say what causes this urge but it is an irresistible and innate force that affects more people than you might imagine. So most of the time I seek social acceptance in my preferred gender, most obviously by looking as much like a woman as I reasonably can and associating with people as a woman. I am pleased to say that most people accept or at least put up with my need even though they may be puzzled by it.

I’m one of the many trans people who has found friends and support on the internet so I started this blog in August 2011 during a period when I was experimenting with living as a woman almost full-time. Things have progressed for me in unexpected ways since then.

This blog is partly to introduce me to anyone who’s interested and to let people know what I’ve been up to since stepping out in public as a woman, as well as a few thoughts around the subject of being trans. This is in the hope that this blog can provide encouragement to the many others who are still scared of venturing into the world in a way that differs from what they feel is expected of them, and accepting who they actually feel they are.

As you can see, I have organised a variety of events for TGirls in the London area and can often be found in other locations. In 2018 I moved permanently from Britain to Italy.

  1. Good morning,

    First of all, thanks for your social activity within the transgender collective and me.

    My name is María, founder of Translingerie, the first company aimed at designing underwear for trans, cross and drag people. We make and design garments that we seldom find due to the current society.

    Now we have many collections for transgender people. Our clothings are designed under a resistant fabric adaptable to any body shapes. A little innovative applique is also included so as to hold and keep the male member safe and enjoy freedom of movement.

    Why are we getting in touch with you? Because we are devoted to a small group of the society but that does not mean it is less important. Due to this fact we have to be selective in where do we include information about our activity. We would like to know whether you would put any link, comment or banner which redirects into our website.

    We would like to be in your Social media and sometimes you can put info about us, we can put a link to your web in our web with a banner if you like.

    We would like to apologise beforehand if you do not agree with our way of thinking, by contacting you or choose ways to promote us.

    We request your understanding and do not hesitate to contact us.

    It would be very helpful for us to appear in your website or if you talk about us.

    We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    Maria M. Translingerie

  6. Shoe size 5 1/2? You lucky, lucky person. That's somewhere near the top of the cuteness curve when it comes to shoe sizes. (Saw a wonderful pair of floral pattern shoes the other day, but a good three sizes too small for me.)
