[CD / TG] Announcement
13 MarI am finally able to admit to myself that I am transgendered. I am slowly coming out to various very close friends about my status. So far, those I have told have been quite supportive, with one particular exception, who shall remain nameless. lasarina has been my most ardent supporter, and I am incredibly grateful that I have her in my life.
I will not come out to some people, though I am choosing to live primarily as Janet Anne. If you can see this, you already know all of what I just wrote. What you may not know is who else does. Unless you have been told otherwise, assume that no one else knows. I will, in my own time, slowly become more open about this.
This was not an easy thing for me to admit, even to myself. It has taken many years of self examination, and frequently self-denial, for me to come to this point. From my earliest memories of recognizing the differences between girls and boys, and most especially from puberty, I felt like I was “wrong” somehow.
I believe that you each know that gender and sexual orientation are not determinate one of the other. Suffice it to say that this announcement doesn’t imply in any way that my relationship with lasarina is changing, except to become stronger. She has been my rock through this latest phase of my development.
ETA: I have a Twitter account for Janet Anne here.
Commitment to being Janet and my submissive role
21 FebToday, I choose to be Janet at all times, and to be submissive to my mistress M in all things. She will tell me when I must play act being Ernie. But as of today, Ernie is simply a role I play when necessary.
Help Me Change America
15 JanI’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are deciding the top 10 ideas for how they think the Obama administration should change America. It’s called “Ideas for Change in America,” and it’s being run by Change.org.
One idea is titled: Free Single Payer Health Care. I thought you might be interested in getting involved and recommend you check it out. You can read more and vote for the idea by clicking the following link:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/free_single_payer_health_care
The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama administration at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC next week and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org in partnership with leading nonprofits after the Presidential Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.
Thanks for the help!
