Too know me is too love me or hate me, I don't think there is an in between. Opinionated, forward, tactless for sure, caring, nurturing, loving, weird, strange, unique, these are words you'd find yourself using to describe me. Determined to get people to see through eyes wide open and really love the world around them, I am a modern day hippie, an advocate for human beings, a lover of people and the simple things.
TGF contributor Dawn is cis-woman who wants to offer guidance to trans women. Today she has some thought on the need for trans women, and everyone really, to protect themselves at all times. Not just from dangers on the street but from possible harm in all situations. Dawn believes we all need a network of support and a good amount of self esteem to avoid bad situations.
Dawn, a cisgender woman, helped Hannah to become the woman she was inside. Hannah and Dawn split up when Hannah left to walk her own feminine path. Dawn documented their one-year relationship here on TGF. Now she is offering advice and inspiration to others who are beginning to become who they really are. Today she advises that you should be you, not who someone expects you to be.
Hannah and Dawn have moved from a close relationship to trying to adjust to being just friends. Dawn knew when they met that Hannah would be an important part of her life and that she would be important for Hannah. But Hannah took the lessons Dawn taught her and moved on down her own road to her feminine destiny. Today Dawn bids Hannah farewell on her gender journey.
Life is complex and life can be hard. Sometimes people meet and it seems like they are fated to be together. But sometimes their fate is something else entirely. Dawn and Hannah met when Dawn was hospitalized. Hannah was living as a man and keeping her femme side hidden. Together they unlocked Hannah’s femme side but in the process, over the past year, they have moved apart. Was it Hannah dealing with her new gender expression? Was Dawn to confident that they would stay together?
The road that Dawn and Hannah were traveling had begun to get a little rocky as the first blush of excitement started to wear off. Dawn loved helping Hannah become Hannah and at first it was wonderful being there to bring her feminine spirit to the fore. But then insecurities, bad communication, and old issues in both of them makes Dawn ask When is it Too Late?
Dawn and Hannah have been together for almost a year. During that time both of them have changed. Hannah has become more feminine and grown as a woman and Dawn has been happy to see how being who she is meant to be has made Hannah a happier person. But as in every relationship there can be a few rough patches. Today Dawn blogs about one that has gone on for a month.
Hannah has come out of the closet for a week and allowed Dawn to help her be a woman. Dawn takes her out and treats Hannah like a lady. And a week is not enough. Now she is exploring her new world and learning what it’s like to be a girl, not the over-sexualized girl of her fantasies but a real trans woman who is finally free. Dawn continues to document how their lives have come together just when they both needed something.
It happened by accident but we’re transitioning as a couple. My very first post publicly talking about the way I am experiencing Hannah’s transition was a bit overwhelming, as I revisit the last 7 months of our lives and discuss things with Hannah I realize that so much has happened and that to re-tell every […]
Dawn is a mom of two boys and two girls. Both the boys exhibit gender fluid tendencies and one of them seems to be more than slightly interested in being a girl. But that’s not the whole story. While in the hospital for treatment of a collapsed lung Dawn met a guy she knew she had to know better. Now his name is Hannah and Hannah is a girl and Dawn is okay with that.
