Sex-Cache's Why so expensive?

raven's picture

For those of you who are new to the transgender or cross dressing world a sex-cache or a gaff is an article that holds everything back and smooth. This is important for when you are wearing revealing clothing or tight jeans. There are many different places online or even in some cities that sell these in varying different styles and shapes. They range anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five dollars each. I don't understand this, they are easy to make if you can sow and making your own only cost about three dollars.

It's Been to Long

raven's picture

I Know I have been a bad girl and it has been six months since I have posted anything. There is a valid reason, work has been extremely busy and has only just this week slowed down enough for me to do or think of anything. I have however placed a video journaling my transition before and after hormones.

Hormones

raven's picture

I know I know it's been way to long since I wrote anything. In my defense I have been working crazy hours at work. I do have good news, on the 25th of Aug. I went to see my endo. I have moved to the next step in my transition and am now back on HRT. I was on it when I was in California but in Ohio the V.A. is less than adequate for the trans veterans.

But, I am on Estradiol which is the generic of Premerin. I am taking 2 mg twice a day at first to get my levels to where they need to be. I am ecstatic.

Next step is Orchiectomy, the removal of the testicals. Wish me luck folks.

Tucking methods and how to

raven's picture

A very important way for transgendered or transvestite to pull off the feminine illusion is to tuck it back. This can be accomplish in many different ways. the methods range from wearing panties to taping things in place. Now, I'm not going to have the pretty illustrations that many sites have.

For some reason my camera and the server lagged out for about 3 minutes. If the video doesn't play right just move the slider to around the three minute mark maybe just a hair over. Sorry about that.

Transformation Journal Entry 02

raven's picture

One challenge we all face is acceptance. The lack of, among family friends and co-workers/work, can lead all of us down a very dangerous and rocky road. The primary end result of this is depression. Depression is a very dangerous thing in our world, especially for trans individuals. Yes, everyone gets depressed over the course of their lives. The thing is when dealing with trans people depression can kill. No, fifty-nine percent of us don't try but forty-one percent do and succeed.

A good Day

raven's picture

Hello boys and girls. Well today was a great day for me as I re-started my therapy and resumed the long road to reassignment surgery. Some of the first things I would like to accomplish are getting back on hormones. Yes, I am still taking the herbal supplement and it is working, slowly. But, that combined hormones will work very well. Does anyone know of a good endo in Cleveland? The other thing I would like to get done is getting to certain bits removed so that my transition will progress

Transgender People's Medical Needs must be met!!!!!

A friend of mine recently had to go to the hospital for an infection. She is full time living as a woman and has even been able to to get her gender changed on her state issued identification. Still the hospital put Male on her paperwork.

Lakewood hospital in Lakewood Ohio is known locally for treating people different if you don't fall into the perfect little middle class mold. Not only did the hospital out her and embarrass her the doctor treated her very rough. The doctor didn't really want to touch her and she could tell he was disgusted by her. Treatment papers that should have been signed were left blank. This has

Elation - A feeling you get when things are just right.

raven's picture

Many things have been going on since I last posted, part of the reason its been a minute. I have for some time been wanting to get something to disguise the male portion of my anatomy so that I looked more female and had a better self image. I know all the tricks with make up for a better look and thanks to the herbal supplement I currently take I am blossoming nicely. I have been on this path for so long that tucking has become natural for me in fact when I put my panties on it just slides back on its own. But, I found a product from a company in the U.K. called Transformations. They have been at it a long time helping us look and feel more feminine. They came out with a product call the authentic Vagina that is a great thing. Its latex you put on and it hide any signs of maleness in that area. The problem I had there is it involved straps. I am not great at tying knots and I didn't want

Make Up Tip #1

raven's picture

I have noticed that a lot of TG girls in my area are having trouble passing. Their walk is great their voice is in good shape and they dress ok. One huge blaring red light that I have seen in these girls is their makeup. They plaster it on with what looks like a spatula and they use bright blaring colors, in short they look like MiMi from Drew Carry. You don't have to plaster your foundation on to where it is half an inch think on your face, this is not good for your skin and unless your a drag queen getting ready for a show it will get you made in a hurry.

Please, Post the following information

Transition Journal entry 01

raven's picture

Hello, I am going to be chronicling my transition here on the site so others that are just beginning their journey will know a little of what to expect. A little about me first, I have been living full time as a woman since 1995 and let me tell you the way has not always been easy. No, I haven't been on hormones that entire time. Yes, I wish I had been, but sue to geographic location, money, insurance, and the counselor I was seeing at the time

It is hard enough

raven's picture

Most people that are trasngendered are not accepted by one or both parental figures in their lives. I always thought I was lucky because my Mother said she would accept and love me regardless of of how I am because I am her kid. Well a couple of days ago I found out that I was being lied to for over 30 years. Over a decade and a half ago I started living full time. I informed my mother of this and she gave me the same line. Well I sent her a picture of my better half and myself (me dressed to go out in a cute little skirt). When she received the pictures
