A fun task now that spring is here.
I was trying to explain to Rainbow that she was mistaken about Australia having been annexed by Germany in 1938, when her brother Sebastian arrived to join me before breakfast for a yoga class. I do enjoy the early morning yoga classes. Having a personal trainer so committed to my body is something I feel great gratitude for.
Sebastian is a wonderful trainer. How can I best describe his teaching style? I suppose it’s best to call it ‘deeply penetrative’.
I poured a glass of orange juice for each of us, before we started the class. Now, you may remember that Rainbow is studying to be a therapist. When I had suggested to her that therapy might be a good option for her, I had meant participation, rather than training, but she had grasped the wrong end of the stick, and here we are.
āWeāve been learning about Freud,ā she told me. āIām fascinated by Australia.ā
I was confused.
āYou know,ā she said. āWhere the marsupials come from.ā
Gradually I realised sheād confused Austria with Australia. I thought I should explain a little about European history and things went down hill from there. When she pointed out that Europeans were so much more cultured than those of us here in North America I took issue with her. That was the point that she started on about how Leonardo was so multitalented, with the whole painting, mathematics and engineering, and making all those films, too! Apparently she loved Titanic.
Rainbow has recently started dating Epiphany. While her heart may have swelled the same canāt be said for her intellect, I fear.
But thatās not the main reason I am writing. As spring rushes in and we prepare for summer I have a fun task for you. Itās thrift store time. Yes, itās time to go out and scan the thrift stores for something fun to wear. But this time Iād like you to do it a little differently. Iād like you to try and buy something that is fairly androgynous. Feminine, but just safe enough for you to wear around without being obviously crossdressing. Yes, this is part of your gradual move to a more androgynous look. Pastel colors, a little feminine but not so very much that you feel uncomfortable around people you know. Push your boundaries, but not too far.
Have fun out there, and remember, ārecycle, reuse and reduceā. Youāll be doing your bit to save the planet.

The JK Rowling Problem.
I think we can all agree, the Harry Potter stories were pretty damned good. Sheās a good writer. OK. Got it.
Thereās a problem, though. JKās recent rants about trans people have all the hallmarks of someone who has got hold of an issue, and even though they know itās wrong, they just canāt put it down. Whether itās arrogance, or ignorance, she simply canāt put it down and move on. And she digs herself deeper and deeper into a hole, retweeting transphobic tweets, seemingly surprised that many people feel betrayed by her choice to echo hate speech and support bigots online.
Many of us read her stories to our children and when seeing her recent rambling vitriol feel personally insulted. Sadly with all her millions, she has not acquired good judgement. Instead she bleats out her messages unfiltered, as though sheās talking to an audience of a few dozen. Instead her massive megaphone influences millions.
As she continues to sound off like the demented neighbourhood weirdo, who doubtless has 27 cats in her house and no friends, she broadcasts sometimes carefully worded ā but damaging and hateful content ā to her 15 million followers.
There is something you can do about it, though. I donāt condone book burning, as much as it seems tempting in this case. Instead I suggest you go and get all those JK Rowling books, and advertise them on Facebook Marketplace, or wherever you choose to sell them, and then donate the proceeds to a trans friendly charity. Taking her words and putting them to work for us is about the only positive thing one can do. When you advertise them be sure to mention that youāre donating the proceeds to a trans friendly charity.

JK Rowling’s stories were entertaining in the past. Her recent forays into fiction have been uninspired, as she ironically writes under a masculine pen name ‘Robert Galbraith’. How screwed up is that? However, like the court jester she once was, we can laugh at her antics, but that doesn’t mean we’d take advice from her about issues like human rights, thank you very much!

The serious side of Man Or Bear.
The recent viral internet discussion about ‘Would you rather meet a bear in a forest or a man?’ has sparked a lot of comment. I don’t really follow these things very closely, but I did notice one discussion where the influencers concerned twisted it a little by adding ‘would you rather be stuck in the woods with a transwoman or a bear’.
I am not so silly as to think this is a serious discussion, and the channel involved is a very low volume one. However, the comments were both transphobic and made light of a rather more serious question.
The temptation is to think which is more dangerous, man or bear. However the real question one should ask is, ‘are we doing enough to make women feel safe around men?’
Continue reading “The serious side of Man Or Bear.”Look what I found on my doorstep at 3 am!
On the whole I do not approve of large people with too much facial hair
looming in my doorway. Even more so at 3 am.
That was the sight that greeted me this morning. I enjoy my beauty sleep, most of all to protect my looks, but also so I am fresh in the morning to write to my members. And last night, as my very understanding wife was once again traveling, this time at a conference in somewhere called Poughkeepsie, I was enjoying a night of calm sleep wearing a pink teddie. When I heard the chiming of the door bell, I pulled on a thick robe and went downstairs to find the henge-like form of Amanda, my wife’s appalling friend, blocking the doorway, like a couch abandoned by someone who had been trying to get it through a door that was marginally too small.

A bit of luck and a nice package!
When I got an urgent call this morning asking me to stand in as Master of Ceremonies for a charity event, I was caught short completely. It was really quite tragic, their own MC having met with an unusual accident involving a hamster, a length of pipe and a lighter. Iām told they should be out of hospital in a week or so, though the hamster was less fortunate. The situation was made doubly dramatic as I had just sent several of my favorite dresses to the dry cleaners as I have a string of events to attend in the coming weeks, and I had nothing to wear. However, as luck would have it I received a delivery when I got to work directly from my friends at Glamour Boutique.
What a stroke of fortune, a beautiful purple lace sleeve dress delivered in their usual discrete packaging. Now, thereās a number of excellent reasons you should buy from a supplier like Glamour Boutique, rather than off the shelf. I will go into that shortly, but first, let me tell you exactly how this evening played out.
I called Sylvester who, while he does look like a gorilla that has been strategically shaved when he wears a suit, can be quite fun at these events. He agreed to join me at home at Huckleberry Close and we would then go on from there.
He pulled into my drive right behind me as I arrived home from work, and then waited in the living room as I hurried upstairs to change. As I did so I called down, saying āYouāll have to give me a moment to slip into something.ā
I pulled on some fishnets, slipped into a pair of patent leather black heels, and then stepped into the dress. A moment spent on make up, and then I descended the stairs. Sylvester was gawping at me as I walked into the hallway.
I turned and inspected myself in the full length mirror, Sylvester looming behind me like a great henge.
I watched his reflection as I adjusted my hair, and saw how his gaze fell to my behind, framed nicely by the cut of this particular dress.
āYes,ā he muttered. āSlipping into that seems a good ideaā¦ā
āSylvester,ā I said sharply and he averted his gaze.Ā Ā He really can be most coarse at times.
Moments later we were off to the event, Sylvester driving and I feeling quite excited. A new dress always makes me feel coquettish. Particularly this one. The lace sleeves are so perfect for crossdressers, as they hide a multitude of sins, such as unsightly arm hair. Additionally, the cut of this particular dress is perfect for so many of us. The Empire waist really is a good choice for those of us in the gender fluid space. Most of us donāt have a very pronounced waist, but this style really does lend us a little more shape.
Iāve said before that buying from a company like Glamour Boutique is a good idea. These dresses are synthetic and almost impossible to crease. This is important to me as there are times I have to fling something in a bag without much preparation, and I may not be able to hang it as precisely as a silk or cotton dress might need. Wearing creased clothing is always awkward and a sign of very poor taste. This comfortably sized synthetic dress fits easily to the curves of my body, while still giving a little in those areas I need it to. The fabric has enough stretch to work for a male body shape, and for those of us who occasionally like to add a few body form accessories. After all, donāt we all have moments where adding a little extra presence to our bust measurement can be done to good effect?
Well made crossdressing dresses will work with or without such accessories, and stretch to accommodate either option. This is why I generally go with clothing from Glamour Boutique, rather than from local stores. I know I will get clothes specifically chosen to be good for a crossdresser, rather than something that might look great in the store but really doesnāt work so well in front of the mirror at home while Sylvester stares at my ass.
And on the subject of my ass, I have to tell you I love this empire waist. Itās not usually my first choice of dress shape, but it really does work well. Coupled with a high heel the effect is to give just the right flare to the dress, as my ass is slightly exaggerated by the cut of the dress combined with a nice heel. The effect is a dress that has a nice swing to it, looks smooth and well fitted and is really comfortable to wear. So, you can see, I was pretty happy to get to the event, stand up in front of the crowd and enjoy a moment in the spotlight looking great.
I know you will have the same sense of satisfaction if you get in touch with my friends at Glamour Boutique. Be sure to tell them I sent you.

Auntie Kittie is riding ‘the cycle of abuse’.
Sylvester looked skeptically at the newspaper. He is one of the holdouts that do still read the physical paper, and his heavy knotted brow was twisted in concentration. His Neanderthal roots were showing.
āDid you see this?ā he asked, while I was grinding the coffee.
āWhatās that, Sylvester. The picture of Auntie Kittieās niece in the Girl Scouts?ā I replied.
āI donāt think that would make the pages of the New York Times,ā he replied.
āOh, I thought you were reading the local paper. Auntie Kittieās niece Emma was in it. She got another badge. I think it was for fire starting, or gender awareness. Something like that.ā
āSheās very proud of those girls,ā said Sylvester. āBut no. Itās this story. It says here that theyāre making children have babies in Texas.ā
āI hope the Girl Scouts down there are giving them a badge for teenage pregnancy,ā I muttered.
āItās this whole abortion issue,ā he continued. āI canāt believe this is happening in the 21st century.ā
āI canāt understand why anyone with either a daughter, a sister or a mother could possibly accept giving up the right to an abortion,ā I said. āItās like the whole world has gone mad.ā
At that very moment I spied Auntie Kittie cycling up the road toward my house.
Sylvester glanced round and seeing her said, āHere she comes. Sheās riding āthe cycle of abuseā.ā
āWhy do you call her bicycle that,ā I asked.
āHave you heard how it squeaks? She never oils it,ā replied Sylvester, who is indeed of a mechanical bent. He went on to say, āThe last time that thing was lubricated they were still using whale oil.ā
āWell,ā I said taken aback. āI donāt think thatās a very nice way to talk about Auntie Kittie, Sylvester!ā
You know Sylvester really can be quite coarse at times.
On a serious note, just keep in mind anyone who is aligning themselves with the denial of a woman’s right to choose, will be coming for us, too. It starts to make political decisions very simple. Whatever your past voting pattern, don’t be fooled into thinking this is your grand dad’s political environment. There’s already trans people out there fighting for their lives and loosing. Just ask Brianna Ghey or Nex Benedict.
I do hope youāre having a good week. I am taking the time to catch up on a few things having been away for a little in Europe. A little what, you may well ask. I wonāt be answering that anytime soon! Letās just say my body is feeling particularly tired, and like Auntie Kittieās bicycle could indeed use a little lubrication.

Become a member!I had to beat off a load of journalists!
The winter months are always fun in an advertising agency. Even more so for myself, as I have several skiing related accounts. It was this that brought me, Bernard my photographer and Sebastian, my personal trainer to the beautiful mountain village of Whistler in Beautiful British Columbia last month.
I found myself here partly to oversee the photography for a ski manufacturerās latest high end products,
and also for a resort client located in the Village. As part of the weekās activity I found myself skiing with a small group of journalists, all eager to test the manufacturers new products.
Before the main days skiing, I had the opportunity to brush up my skills a little with Bernard. There I was, in my tight ski suit, stretching and preparing.
In the comfort of my hotel room, Sebastian helped me refine my style and posture for fast downhill skiing. Sebastian can be very useful on a trip like this. Youād be surprised what he gets up to.
āThatās it,ā he said, pressing his hand into the small of my back. āLean forward and stick your bum out.ā
āNow bend your legs, and flatten your back.ā
I found the position strangely familiar.
āIf you move your hips from side to side,ā he said standing behind me, āyouāll find it feel even more fluid.ā Sebastian seemed quite breathless.
āYes,ā I gasped feeling my body getting into the exercise. āItās a very enjoyable sensation,ā I said as I moved my body languidly back and forth.
Now, I know youāll find this hard to believe, but all this stretching and preparation seemed to get Sebastian quite excited. I could swear he poked me in the back with his ski pole!
As it happened I did very well on the slopes. At the end of the week of skiing we had a race down the mountain from the peak, a very exciting informal race. I thought I might be beaten by a number of the boys, but as you might guess, try as they might ā and through no small effort on my part – Ā I managed to beat them off and cross the finish line leading by a head.
After that it was up to the hot tub to watch the snow falling on the mountain in the twighlight.
But thatās not the main reason Iām writing. I thought Iād send you a quick reminder that with Spring just around the corner itās time to start looking for some new Spring colors. This year putting together easy combinations of colors in underwear, makeup and outwear should be every CDās priority. When was the last time you matched your eyeshadow to your favorite lingerie? Well, todays a great day to start planning ahead.

You won’t believe what Sebastian is covered in!
You won’t believe what Sebastian is covered in!
Hi,
Sebastian, my personal trainer, was standing in my kitchen, looking distraught. It’s not a good look for a slim man in spandex. He’d cycled over to my place for a coffee.
āThe stuffās everywhere,ā he moaned. āI canāt move in my apartment, thereās so much Jiz everywhere!ā
āIām sorry?ā I said, adjusting the peach colored silk robe I was wearing. I had just waxed my legs and chest and the soft silk felt magnificent on my skin.
āItās all over the place!ā He went on.
āSebastian,ā I said, āWhat on earth are you talking about?ā
āItās the week of the Junior and Intermediate Zumba challenge. Everyone down at the gym enters.ā
āIs that a āthingā?ā I asked.
āI get to do the Jiz thing every year, and every year itās a nightmare. I just get overwhelmed. And this year, honestly, I think Iāve taken as much as I can take. Iāve bitten off more than I can chew and Iām practically choking on it!ā
āI believe the expression is āgaggingā.ā I added, helpfully.
āAll the other personal trainers down at the gym leave it to me, and every year I just get sucked in!ā
āI wonder why,ā I said rhetorically.
āMy whole place is covered in the stuff to arrange it, costumes, posters. I even had to design them myself.ā Sebastian reached into his back pack and brought out a folded-up poster.
āOh, Let me see it,ā I said trying to sound enthusiastic.
āYes, of course. Your friend Amanda helped me with it.ā
āAmanda is my wifeās friend,ā I pointed out. Because she edits a trade publication, Pig And Pig Farmer, Amanda considers herself something of a media mogul. I think youāll agree thatās a bit of a stretch.
Sebastian unfolded the poster. An image of two young dancers, breathlessly whirling across the floor 
filled the page, with the headline, āItās Jiz Time! Youāll be glad you came.ā
Sebastian looked at it thoughtfully. āThey wouldnāt let me put it up at Starbucks. They got quite snotty about it.ā
āI wonder why,ā I said.
But thatās not the main reason Iām writing to you today. Itās going to be spring soon, so itās time to start getting ready with some new looks for Spring. I thought Iād make a couple of suggestions, to help you along.
Spring is a time to emphasise the soft pastels, using both cosmetics and clothes that lift and brighten their surroundings. This is a great time, if you donāt dress outside of the house, to bring some more feminine colors into your selection of clothes that youād wear day to day.
If you wear glasses, think about getting a pair that are softer and more blended to your skin. Be prepared to experiment with your daily look, softening it with colors that convey gentle forms. Hard black frames may be better replaced with a softer color, for example.
As you color your life more gently, you may be surprised to find yourself feeling more gentle. Youāre going to love that. You may well find that wearing pastels and muted colors contributes to a more gentle mood, and as you look the way you know you should, you start to feel the way you should, too.
I sincerely hope you are enjoying the news I share with you. You can participate and comment even more at http://FionaDobson.com
Have a great week,
