OK. Tonight an encompassing exercise is on the cards. I’ve got two videos for you to watch. They have been released within a couple of days of each other, but coincidentally have some fascinating overlap.
Take some time, make a cup of tea and sit down and listen or watch these two videos and you’re going to learn a lot.
Spoiler alert. If you’re in Ohio, by chance, immediately go to Leah’s video and be prepared to step forward. We need you.
If you’re feeling generous, you know where to find me, but to be honest at present I’m fine and I’d rather you put your dollars to either of these two creators who are doing such sterling work for us.
First Steps Into Transition – With Jules Sandison.
In this second part of a series about moving into a transgender life Jules Sandison describes how many of us progress in the first steps of transition, and what that really looks like. We’re not all going to emerge immediately into a fully passable female body, or a female psychology. Far from it.
I cut across the square and walked into the bar after work. I usually only come here at lunchtimes, the fish always being fresh and the salad light. I can come in here, have a quick lunch and be back at my desk within an hour easily.
In the evenings there’s a lot of people in from out of town, there being a large hotel next door. And there’s a fair crop of locals too. It’s quite busy after six. It’s surprising how crowded this lonely city can be when all the commuters go home.
I don’t think I’d seen this one before. Maybe I had but it didn’t matter anyway. It’s not like I go out looking for romance. But he looked interesting. He told me a name, and I just let him freestyle his way into my evening.
He bought me a few drinks, and started to get a little touchy feely. Well, it was ok. The bar was closing soon anyway.
I decided I’d walk home with him, his place wasn’t far from mine, and we’d part and he’d never know how different I am.
But that’s not quite how it went down. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it just gets more interesting.
We decided stopping at my place for a nightcap might be ok. Why not? He leaned close as I fumbled for my keys, his breath heavy against my cheek. By the time I found my keys he was running his hands inside my jacket searching for my breasts
“In this salad bowl!” he continued. “I think you should use the other one.”
Sylvester is quite a distraction in the kitchen. I motioned him out of the way as I brought out my best salad bowl. Now, I know you might be thinking, what brought on this bout of domesticity? It’s quite simple really, while I live in the beautiful Canadian city of Vancouver, my wife’s good friend (and the bane of my life), Amanda, has asked me to research some fun dishes she might be able to make as tariffs kick in. Like I have all the spare time in the world, so why not, right?
“What do you mean?” I asked after she asked me to come up with something creative.
“Well, I like to cook with fruits in many of my recipes, like Kiwi fruit or banana, and under these tariffs they’re going to be hugely expensive.”
“But I thought the idiot said he would bring those products to the USA and grow them there,” I countered.
“Have you tried to grow a kiwi fruit in Ohio?” said Amanda. Well, she is sort of agriculture adjacent, being the editor of Pig and Pig Farmer monthly.
“I see what you mean. I will come up with something,” I replied.
That got me thinking about cucumbers. I realise this is an under-utilised vegetable – or fruit if you prefer. Surprisingly I think it is actually both a fruit and a vegetable. You might wonder if this is possible, however, if you met Sylvester you’d understand how something can be both a fruit and vegetable simultaneously. And, yes, he is pretty under utilised, too.
So, I dug into my recipe book and found a lovely preparation I used to get ready for friends when I was a student. It’s so simple that anyone can do it. As a (then) young man, I would impress girlfriends with my prowess in the kitchen. The Anthropology department girls certainly seemed to like it. Here we go:
You’re going to need the following ingredients –
1/2 cup rice vinegar.
1/2 cup granulated sugar.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
2 large cucumbers.
2 green onions, trimmed and sliced.
Find a large salad bowl, preferably without a crack in it, and also a cup or small bowl. Into the small bowl put the vinegar, the sugar and the salt. I sometimes also squeeze some lemon juice into the cup. Using a sharp knife (hide it after use if you have any suicidal friends visiting, like Rainbow for example), peel and then slice the cucumbers and dice the onions. While you do so the sugar and salt will be dissolving into the vinegar. If it hasn’t dissolved well just give it a stir.
All you have to do now is put the cucumbers and onion in the bowl, add the vinegar solution and you’re done. If you want to be extra fancy just add some crumbled feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes. I guarantee any anthropology students will be all over you and praise your culinary abilities. It also works on wives of 25 years. Let me know how you get along with this.
Now, all I have to do is think of a couple of other things to do with a cucumber. I mentioned this to Sylvester, and – well – he really can be quite coarse at times!
As the voices tease you and taunt you, you realise you can’t fight them. You have to submit.
“Finding you crossdressing, and ripping your blouse open I can only say I reveal you as you are. It’s time for you to stop pretending to be a man and to discover the real you. The ‘you’ that talks inside your head.” Mistress Meg
There are voices in your head. They tell you how you want to wear panties and feel the softness of feminine clothes. And they’re getting stronger.
In this powerful self hypnosis exercise you will learn to accept the voices in your head. You will learn to comply with them. This brief hypnosis file should be used every night, and then loaded to your phone for use at intervals during the day.
Soon your feminization will be complete. Try the hypnosis file below and listen to it nightly for a week. Then let me know how you’re enjoying it.
Why hello there! I’m Leah, and I’m a nonbinary trans woman making content for the LGBTQIA+ community… or anyone who wants to watch! My goal is to provide visibility, representation, and interesting / useful conversations while creating a community that helps bring people together.
In this discussion with Lenni and Jules from Http://FIonaDobson.com we look at how we set goals as people in the gender fluid and queer space. In this Jules refers to a Gender Rebels podcast about ‘Lost Girlhood’. You can find that here – https://t.co/WoafGjoTod.

I could hear voices in my living room. There was a little light laughter and I could tell that Devina and her guest were making themselves comfortable.
I found myself flushed and felt my heart racing. I ran the tap and put my wrists under it, the cool water calming me. As I looked in the mirror I could barely recognise the face that looked back. Devina had done a masterful job on my makeup.
Sitting at my kitchen table Sylvester stared at the container of powder supplement before him.
“It says here, it’s ‘Protein Supplement For Men’.”
“Well, keep it away from me,” I replied. “There’s so much estrogen coursing through my body at this point I don’t think it’s going to do me much good.”
“I’m supposed to mix it with milk and add a banana for a nourishing drink. That’s what the packaging says,” continued Sylvester.
It’s so refreshing to see him taking his health seriously. I sincerely believe we should invest in ourselves with a healthy diet, as you likely know.
“Just put it in the blender with some milk, then,” I said handing him a banana from the fruit bowl.
I got up and left the kitchen to slip into my yoga clothes as I knew Sebastian would be arriving shortly to help me with my yoga practice. I do so like to start the day with a stretch. I laid a mat down in the living room and put on a little calming music, lit a couple of candles and some incense before going up to change.
When I returned to the kitchen there was Sylvester drinking a large glass of his fresh smoothy. I glanced at the table, and noticed he had used 10% creamer milk, rather than the 2% milk I generally drink.
“How’s that taste, Sylvester,” I asked.
“Oh, it’s good,” he replied.
“You might want to use the 2% milk next time,” I suggested. “That’s practically straight cholesterol you’re drinking.”
Sylvester looked at the milk carton and frowned.
“Tastes good, though,” he said.
At that point the doorbell rang, and Sebastian arrived.
“Is Sylvester joining us for yoga this morning,” asked Sebastian as he put his gym bag down.
“Oh, I don’t think so. He’s too busy drinking his creamy man protein,” I said.
Sebastian glanced dubiously at Sylvester.
“Really,” he said. “I didn’t know he was into that sort of thing.”
However, that’s not the main reason I’m writing to you today. Jules has just put out a very good piece on Youtube which you might enjoy. There’s some excellent Youtubers on the slate this week. I’d like to draw attention to pieces by Andy in Warsaw, Leah Passaniti and Lily Alexandre. Use these hotlinks to listen to some great content.
These can keep you informed and supported. There’s some really great stuff there. I enjoy listening to these pieces and find I can stay reasonably well informed if I do. Have a listen and see what you think. In these times of such upheaval it’s quite important to stay informed and connected to sources of good information. Just in case you’re not aware of it, the hotlinks in my posts usually take you somewhere pretty interesting. 🙂
