Book Review: Becoming Ted

 Becoming Ted is a lovely book by Matt Cain about a man who had dreams that never seemed to be fulfilled, he was trapped in a job he didn't want to do with a husband that curtailed his dreams at every turn, that is until his husband left him for another man. We follow the beautiful loving and sometimes painful story....... Will Ted ever be able to realise his dreams? 


It's a great book, very well written humorous witty and at times sad. It brought tears to my eyes at times, a great read with a message to follow your dream, be the person you want to be, live the life you want. The story resonated with me in so many ways, as I'm sure it will with you. 

Fabulous, just fabulous!!

A wedding

Image
I don't look too happy here but the emotion was running very high at this point   Some time ago I wrote about my love for wedding dresses, ( The Dress (mylifebyandrearaven.blogspot.com)   I have had an attraction to wedding dresses for many years, dating back to my sisters wedding in the 60's. There has always been something very special about a wedding dress and the dream of wearing one for more that just an hour or so has been with me for a very long time, but until recently it remained just a dream.   At some point I made the comment  " that I would never wear a wedding dress for its intended purpose "  Well that may still be the case but late last year I was lucky enough to get as close to the 'real thing' as I am ever likely to get.  I had planned a few days away with my friend Jen, we were lucky enough to be able to stay at a cottage in Northamptonshire, one of the things we planned to do was a 'Bridal Day' as we were alone in the cottage and we ...

Stephanie's bra fitting

Photo courtesy Emma at Nylon Nostalgia This time we are going to hear from Stephanie about her bra fitting at Marks & Spencer's here in the UK I will let Stephanie take the story from here:  I have just returned home from my bra fitting at M&S and I have to say the whole experience was just lovely and definitely ranks (if I was scoring) as one of the most positive experiences I’ve had as a crossdresser, even though I attended in male mode! My appointment was at 9:30am and I arrived at the store at 9:25 and after wandering through menswear (which now feels so alien even when I’m in drab!) I headed for the lingerie department and the fitting rooms. When I arrived there wasn’t anyone around at first though I could hear voices in the background then after a very short wait a member of staff appeared, saw me waiting and came over, and asked if she could help me?  I had told myself before I arrived to relax and try to be as “normal” as possible, so I came straight out and sa...

I have always wanted to be a girl

The title of this post will be a familiar thought to many, this thought has passed through my mind countless times, it has been with me for as long as I can remember. Unlike some, I never thought I was born in the wrong body, given the wrong gender by society, certainly but the wrong body? no. I believe my gender is female and always has been and as such this is genetic, I was born this way. But if that is true and I am certainly not the only one, this genetic manifestation is a natural part of human development.  Looking into history there is plenty of evidence of what we now regard as transgender or non-binary going back thousands of years. Doing a search on the internet will throw up countless documents to support this, but if this is the case why is it such a problem for many to even accept that we exist? There is evidence that in indigenous populations of North and South American men taking on the roles of women and living as women was (and is) occurring, similar is true for ...
