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.
Today writer Tanya Allan begins a series of articles on how to write your story. Ms. Allan feels it is important for trans people to tell their stories, either the story of yourself as you are or as you long to be. The act of writing is something that you as a writer have control over and you can as Ms. Allan says, “. . .create something wonderful” while you tell your stories. Writing allows you to transcend negative voices and achieve things you have only imagined.
