The fourth appointment
Yesterday I went to the VU in Amsterdam for already my fourth appointment with the psychologist of the gender team. She is now really starting to work on my history, to get a complete picture of me. There is so much to tell of course. Yesterday I have started with one of my very first [...]
Disasters
Today we had a very heavy rain. “That’s nice”, I thought: “This will finally fill up my water-butt.” Well it didn’t! The hardwood garden-tile was completely splintered. The water-butt had fallen through the ‘table’ and all the water had run out. I also made the stupid mistake of leaving the window in the roof open. [...]
Concrete
OK, I have cast my concrete! Ingredients: 21 kilo of gravel, 14 kilo of sand, 7 kilo of cement and water. Preparation: Put everything into a hod and stir it well. Serving: In a hole in the ground, measuring 26x26x36 cm. Garnishment: The foot of a clothes-dryer. This was another ‘nice’ job. First I had [...]
An important day
Today it was an important day. Not only was it our 16th. wedding anniversary, but I also had my 3rd. appointment at the gender clinic at the university hospital in Amsterdam. These appoinments at the gender clinic have so far been a bit of an anti-climax and today was no exception. Today I was there [...]
Around the block
Fiona Jameson has a very nice page about her first time out on the street. So what about my first time? I’m not sure. I forget which outing came first. But I do recognise a lot in Fiona’s story…
Hooted
Today I was hooted at again. It happens so often. But this time it was a group of girls who did it. That is unusual. Normally it will be groups of boys in the age of about twenty. It figures: There is no better way to proove your own masculinity, then by bashing someone who [...]
A man’s job
I have done a man’s job today. The work had to be done, I couldn’t escape. In our back yard, we have a water-butt with a tap at the bottom. But if the water-butt is on the ground, it is impossible to use it to fill a watering-can. So I put it on a little [...]
A good advice
Many years ago, when I worked as an apprentice electrician at a shipyard, someone dropped a lamp. I stepped forward to catch it, but the foreman held me back. “Don’t you ever do that“, he said: “Just let it drop!” “But that is a waste“, I said: “Look, it is broken now!” “Never mind that. [...]
I look like a mess
Dear, o dear, I feel terrible today! After a severe laser treatment on Saturday evening I made the mistake of shaving myself a little too closely on Sunday afternoon. Now my whole face is covered with little wounds. I would like to get into my bed and stay there until I have recovered. But of [...]
Bearded beauties
Yesterday evening it was again time for the monthly T&T-evening; (T&T; = Transvestism and Transsexuality) in Eindhoven. We have such an evening of the first Saturday of every month in a community building in Eindhoven. There is always a very good atmosphere. For a lot of men these evenings are their very first possibility to [...]
