Happy New Year!
I would like to wish all my readers a very happy new year! Just like all my ‘In Real Life’ friends and acquaintances. But Evelien would not be Evelien, if she didn’t run into another problem here: Women kiss women; Men kiss women; Women kiss men; But men do not kiss men! So what does [...]
Tsunami
Everybody will have noticed by now: A natural disaster has occurred. When you see things like this, you realize how unimportant our own little problems are. In Asia at least 100,000 people have died in an awful way. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands who have lost all their possessions. So what can we [...]
Shrek 2
I said Shrek is not about transsexuality, but I have to take that back, more or less. Tonight we watched “Shrek 2″ and we learned: The Big, Bad Wolf is called a transsexual. And indeed: If he puts on grandmother’s clothes he is at least a transvestite. The Barmaid in “The Poison Apple” is a [...]
Shrek
This film is not about transsexuality, but it is about ‘being different’. I happen to have seen it yesterday already, because we borrowed it from the library. And now it is on TV!My TV guide calls it ‘the film of the day’: “USA 2001. By Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson. Voices: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, [...]
Third column
My third column was just broadcast by Gendertalk. It will be available in their archive by next Tuesday. Alternatively (and right now) you can also hear it here:http://www.eveliensnel.nl/audio/FOOLS3B.mp3.A transcript of the text is below: Fool’s OvertureYou may have recognized the music I use as an intro for my columns. It is from the song “Fool’s [...]
Have the courage !
This wonderful X-mass card was sent to me by our good friend Mark: Have the courage to look into the mirror every day. Have the courage to be yourself, you’ll be in nobody’s way Have the courage to express yourself, don’t swallow your opinion Have the courage to give yourself, you’ll get so much in [...]
Fennel
I can give away my little secret now. I often wrote about the herbs I took before I got ‘real’ hormones from the VU gender team. But I never told which herbs I took. I was afraid that ‘everybody’ would go and buy them and they would soon be sold out. The herb I took [...]
One week on Estrogen
Have you noticed anything yet? YES I HAVE! The first effect came within a few hours: An odd taste in my mouth. The same happened with Androcur. Apparently this is the first thing you notice when something is changing in your body chemistry. But more has happened. The first day already I noticed my senses [...]
33 Joules
Just like in November, October, September, August, July, June, May and April it was time for T&T.; We didn’t have to hurry this time, so we had plenty of time to dress up nicely before we had to leave. These T&T; evenings give me some room for experimenting, because (almost) any clothing is acceptable there. [...]
Green Light At Last
On Friday it was time again to go to Amsterdam and hear whether I would get the green light for my sex reassignment treatment. We knew the answer would almost certainly be “Yes”… And indeed it was. But still I was a little disappointed. The event has not given me the smashingly happy mood I [...]
