I have been before so it's not a new experience, actually while I think about it I'll talk about my first time there. Cue wavy cut to soft black and white (Heroes-esque) flashback:Driving around Newton Abbot, I decided I was a little lost but saw a sign for the hospital which I followed and parked in the car park and made my way in, after talking to the receptionist (I didn't even think about it

In my last post I mentioned I'd had a referral through from the NHS, more specifically the Gender Clinic in Newton Abbot. I've been a couple of times now and I'm due to go again on Friday.As I said in my previous post, I've been going out when possible as Jenny, this has been fine but I still worry how work/society/family/friends that aren't so close to me will change towards me and wonder if

I know it's been a long while since my last post, it kind of got to a point where I didn't know where to start which in it's self became a bit daunting. Happy New Year by the way ;)Apart from that, I've been well and have been going out a lot more but I'll get on to that in a moment, first I need to get up to speed with what's been happening.Since London, I've had private head shrinkage which

I went to London on Monday to see Dr. Curtis of TransHealth about what options I have with regard to going full time and transitioning.I stopped over at a friend's house on Sunday as they're about an hour out from London, I was presented with a beautifully wrapped present, a pink t-shirt with a cool binary design, I love it. Unfortunately my friend had to leave quite early so he didn't get to see

Chloe and I hadn't seen each other for a while so we decided to set a date to catch up and go out, after bouncing ideas around the country of where to go out we decided to head over to the good ol' BNO in Milton Keynes. Leading up to BNO I'd met Aimee, a girl from Exeter who's a few months ahead of me on the NHS conveyor belt so I invited her to join me.I managed to get off work early so I could

A month or so back I had a dilemma about whether to tell girl I'd met about me, in the end I thought it was best to bring everything out in the open with her. This was a good idea and we've become good friends but for various reasons (not solely due to me being TG) that's where we'll remain, she's been really supportive and has provided some great words of advice. I'm sure some may be

I'd got my appointment to see my GP again on Monday morning, after waking up at silly O'Clock (about 3am-ish I suspect) with an epiphany... I'll go to the GP dressed! Now that was decided the rest of the night was pondering what to wear punctuated by a few Zzzs here and there.I woke up with plenty of time to get ready as my appointment was after the time I usually get to work and it's only a 5-

I've just been sorting out the date posts were made so they're in the right order and on the right days, I must apologise if the change in the order of my posts has confuzzled you but I think it's better in the long run, while I'm being productive I thought I'd take the chance to write a post. After going to Sparkle and the doctors I decided I should get out a bit more, I'd been invited over to

Cheer cheer right to the end, it's Sparkle Weekend!!If you've no idea what Sparkle is, check out the Sparkle website before we start.Now everyone's up to speed, I took Friday off for getting ready and travelling to Manchester, I decided that I would treat myself to some false nails for the weekend and got to attaching them, first filing my nails and pushing the cuticles to where they should be,

Right, sorry for my lack of posting recently I hope you'll forgive me. Here's the first update...Very exciting, I finally got enough courage to go and see my GP about (my) Gender Dysphoria, I got to see a lady GP which is what I wanted. Beforehand I went on to the Angels forum and made a post asking if I needed to take anything specific or any advice on what to do, luckily there's people that

Continuing my update, this one's about getting some face Zaaaaping action (finally).There's not much to tell really, I finally got an appointment having been given the all clear to have the Laser treatment, yey! I went along after work and was directed to the waiting room. They were running a little late although I wasn't informed of this at the time, more time to ponder whether I was doing the

I came across this video and thought I should share it here: It's an informative video about Transgender and Gender Queer.

Yes you read correctly, I've not only told the girl I've (semi-)started to see but a very good friend of mine.Unfortunately it wasn't face to face with the girl which would have been preferable but via email (the next best thing?) but was brave and sent the message telling her, possibly the scariest message I've sent. Initially there was a lovely text message, but made no mention of the subject,

I've been doing a lot of thinking of late which is both a good and a bad thing. I kinda chickened out telling the girl I've been seeing recently when she enquired about my smooth legs, I told her I didn't like body hair, which isn't a lie I don't like body hair but it's a lot easier going out as Jenny if I've not got any body hair. The main problem I've been having is that she's really nice, we

Firstly thanks to everyone that's commented on the subject, your wise words are greatly welcomed.I've seen the as for mentioned girl a few times now and all is going well, I've not spoke to her yet about this subject. We're supposed to be meeting over the weekend, hopefully it will be nice weather so I can wear 3/4 length short/trousers which will hopefully initiate the question about why I have

Rachel Marie and I decided we should try out Club-O in Brizzel, well it was kind of my idea so I should take responsibility really. After meeting up with Rach, we were given the grand tour of Club-O by Geoff the owner, we were guaranteed to love it and it did look like a good venue - the club's got a (real) well! It accommodates a wide range of activities most of which I wouldn't be interested

I met a girl a few weeks ago through some friends, she's really lovely. Anyway, I didn't think she was interested which I thought was a good thing as I'm thinking of starting on hormones etc. We've been in contact over the internet but I didn't really think there was much in it, I got a phone call from said friends saying that she does like me and I should make it known that I like her too if

Last weekend I took a long drive to see some friends I've not seen for about a year and a half, I'm not a very good friend, luckily Racheal and Simon are! We spent Saturday catching up and popping in to town for a few bits and bobs for going out in the evening, yey! Simon's a great photographer and took a few pics of me before heading out, somehow he managed to take a couple of good shots -

I just need a prince (or preferably a princess) to come and whisk me off my feet away from the responsibilities of my current life, I do hope it's an electric whisk too.Mooching around the houseIt's a lovely day out, I'd be

I did manage to get up to Lucy's Welcome Home Party which was great fun and amazing to see everyone, I've not been out in Brumlington for such a long while.

Today was a lovely sunny and warm day, I needed to go for a cycle to work out how long it will take me to get to work and find a route. As it was such a nice day I thought it would have been silly to wear trousers so shorts were order of the day, I've not been out in shorts when I've had shaved legs before so this was a brave step. While I was feeling brave I decided to wear a black vest top so

I've finally decided to utilise Twitter as a What am I doing/thinking now, if you're thinking what is Twitter well I should probably explain: Twitter is literally for broadcasting what you're up to at the moment, a bit like Facebook's status (which if I had an account, I keep meaning to get one) might say "Jenny - As the number of clothes I have increases so does the time taken to decide what

Well on Sunday I decided to have a day to myself and my camera so I got up, had a shower, a shave and put WAY too much makeup on! Last time I dressed and went to the beach I hardly had any makeup on apart from foundation and a little mascara and eyeliner, well... I certainly made up for it this time - oh dear, oh dear! The outfits needed to match the boldness of my makeup so I dragged out the

I came across this video, it contains some very wise words:Just do it! Get over the fear!The good old BBC have written a great little article on (funnily enough) the subject of Gender Dysphoria/Transgender, it's from the Radio 1 Sunday Surgery program that deals with all matter of problems people might have. It's great that the BBC did such a program as they have such a massive audience, I'm

I've been thinking about this for a while now and I know it's annoying when people change their names but I think maybe I'd be happier with Rebecca Jennifer Ford. For those that know me as Jenny, it will still apply but you can call me Rebecca, Becky, Becca etc. I was told by a male friend (in jest) that I looked like a Becky which amused me as I don't think he know's about me as Jenn.As for

Here's a couple of make up videos that I came across. This first one is good although I'm not overly keen on the lips at the end, I think they look a little false - each to their own.I love this one, it's a response to the to another video but I think this one's great/better (did I say that? Sorry), there are some great techniques and the model is fantastic before let alone after.More of this

It seems to be the week for Trans news, here's one from Japan:I love the way the presenter says that it's the first times he's worn a bra, I feel he doth protest too much.Closer to home now with the introduction of the ID card in the UK, it seems TG's are going to have to get two cards, costing them double!!

A few friends and I arranged a night to meet up and go out in Birmingham, this night was last week, and an excellent night it was too.I drove up to Chloe's on Thursday evening, once again (unsurprisingly) a lovely meal was served, to be honest I only really go for the food, just kiding. It was a nice surprise to hear Lucy had decided to pop in a bit later bringing with her a bounty of "Love

And so, the end of a particularly dry spell (in the world of Jenn) almost a year it seems. My boiler's fixed, I've had some time to myself and we have some new pictures, yey! So without further ado - I imagine you've already skipped down the page already so this introduction is quite superfluous - however for those who are patient, I thought I would try some new styles hair wise.

As the title suggests... What's more frustrating, not having any clothes, shoes, makeup, wigs, etc or having them and not having the opportunity to make use of them? I think I know which, answers on a post card.I was hoping to get some pictures done over the weekend and to get some practice putting my makeup on (as I've not done it for a long while, I'm sure I'm a bit rusty) and to review what

Hiya everyone,Sorry I've been offline for so long, I'm in my new flat now, yeehaa!! I've had great fun (not) trying to get my broadband sorted out but I'm finally online and ready to go. I've not currently got any of my clothes down here so I've been walking around the house naked, just kidding, they have been looked after by the most amazing and lovely Chloe to whom I'm forever indebted for

A worthy question indeed, and in answer to this I suppose she's a part of me that hasn't had the opportunity to go out or show herself since my last post. I am (and she is) alive and well but that's not answering the question is it?

First of all an apology to everyone for not being about lately. As you probably guessed from my previous entry I've been super busy, which seems to be looking that way until early Feb at this rate. Unfortunately I'm going to be incommunicado over the Festive period but I just wanted to let you know I'm alive an well if not a little snowed under (semi appropriate for this time of year?).I'd just

It's been a while, so I thought I'd better do some updating... Life's been pretty hectic recently with work, punctuated with sparse personal/family commitments, I've been doing a project which should start the ball rolling with my business.That's basically what I've been doing recently with is really not very exciting, I'm going out with Chloe to the Outskirts Christmas do next week (no idea what

The last time I was out with Lucy she posed a question to me:If you had the choice between being an ugly (real) girl or a great looking tranny, what would you choose?This really stumped me to be honest, obviously both have their pros and cons. At least if you're a real girl you don't have to deal with getting acceptance from society, I suppose the worst case scenario there's always plastic

I've come to the limit of my free Flickr account, I either need to cull some of my pictures off or pay to upgrade my account. The only other option (which is a slim one) is that some lovely person buys me a pro account.I've been really happy with Flickr since they made me safe again. Ah well, it's pretty good seeing as it's free and I've uploaded 200 pics.A final result from the TINT makeover

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Leyla!As I was waiting in a ridiculously long cue for the petrol pumps, I got a text message from Rihanna asking where I was, she was about 30-45mins ahead of me so once done at the petrol station I drove like a bat out of hell to try and gain some ground. We finally met up at a services on the M1 where I followed her as she's got a sat nav which really came in to

First of all a big thank you to Julie, Lesley and anyone else that helped make it happen, it was great. Tamzin, Stacey, Lucy, KyRa and Claire, thanks for letting me get changed and leaving stuff in your room.Well, it was a fantastic event, I got there around 2ish and got changed in Room 22, Sarah North had a spare bed in her room at the overspill hotel which was a couple of miles away, she gave

Recently I noticed that I'd been deemed "UNSAFE" by Flickr, I was as you can imagine slightly surprised by this as there's nothing dodgy there whatsoever. Here's my review request message I've posted to them:Hi,I've been through all of my pictures and set the content level appropriately. There is absolutely no nudity or anything of that nature within my photos, I've set my default level to

There's an online test that you can fill out which will give you an indication of where you are on the transgender scale from bloke to babe, it's the Combined Gender Identity and Transsexuality Inventory (COGIATI). I completed it a while back but thought I'd do it again having been reminded of it's existence on Tranny International (TINT) by a post in the forum.So here's the results:Your

After speaking to Tamzin over the weekend (before this week) we decided it would be good to go out, initially it was going to be Wednesday however it ended working out a bit better for Tamzin and Chloe with it being a Thursday so I met Chloe at hers and we both got ready and much to her surprise I didn't get changed loads of times (cheeky, ahem) before finally deciding. I'd cunningly forgotten

It's all been planned and booked, we're going to BNO again on 27th Oct which also coincides with Leyla's Birthday so it should be a good night but leaves one question: What to wear? I've been thinking about it for a while and came up with an idea which had/has potential, I gathered the required bits and put it together at the weekend and took some pics. Heath Robinson would have been proud of

Ok, this has taken me way to long to get around to writing but here it is... Finally:Terri, Lucy and I drove up from London to the Campanille Hotel which is situated across the road from the Pink Punters Club, once checked in I caught up with Chloe as we were sharing a room together. After a quick nap, shower and shave we got some food in the restaurant, I bumped in to Rihanna which was great as

So Becky, Lucy, Terri and I were all made up when we left the studio, it was great fun driving through London to the hotel, Lucy was certainly enjoying being out. When we got to the hotel the car park was somewhat crampt, I could have parked my car however I wouldn't have been able to get out of any of the doors so we reluctantly put our cars in a NCP car park 5 mins walk down the road.On the

Chloe had kindly offered for us (Lucy and I) to go around to hers the night before as she's in Brumlington (Birmingham), it would be easier to get on the M1 from there for the trip down to London, so I got there after a fleeting visit back home to get my stuff into the car and got myself to Chloe's.We made our way to Birmingham New Street to meet Lucy's train and after a couple of txts and a

After my last outing with Chloe and taken a few photos when we got back to hers, I decided I needed to sort out my tan lines as my upper arms were quite white so my mission was to rectify this problem.The day started off looking a little dull which would have scuppered my plans however as the day continued it started to brighten up and by the time I finished work the sun was fully ablaze.

I'm going to have to stop counting at some point I know, it's still novel to me and the first sequel is certainly worth a II in my books. I'm not feeling overly creative, writing wise today so if it's a bit bland, I'm sorry!So, I met Chloe at her house again after work so we could go to the Outskirts meet. We decided to do our foundation at hers before going out to save time when we got there,

Last Thursday went fine, I had the whole of treatment 1 done. I realised halfway through the zapping that it wasn't the light was green but the glasses I was made to wear were thus giving the zapping process an evil lightning look (and feel). There were points where it did get a little painful, mostly where the hair's thicker but Pat turned it down a notch which helped. She said the hairs

Well, I went last Thursday for my appointment for the IPL, it was the first one so it was mostly a Q & A session to tick boxes and sign my life away (I hope not!) basically to cover against legal action if something goes wrong (I should really stop saying that). I had a tester done to make sure it I didn't react badly to it, which I didn't so I've got another appointment this Thursday (tomorrow)

I've got my appointment at the salon tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it but apprehensive at the same time. I'm sure I'll be fine and I have nothing to be concerned about, I think my brain's just a little too active sometimes, certainly not in a constructive way (unfortunately).I've been growing my nails for the past few weeks, I had to trim them at the weekend a little as they were getting a

I came across a few really useful resources today that I thought I'd share:Lauren Scarlet's Makeup guide: It's a great guide orientated towards trannies, it's not 100% complete at the moment but it's certainly worth having a read of with some great tips.iVillage figure flatterer: This is full of useful tips of what things to and what not to wear.

I rushed out of work like a cat on fire (sorry cat lovers, the image made me giggle - I wouldn't like to see the reality of that) much like last time when I went to see Chloe for out Makeover with Sara and Sal. The only difference being, I actually made it to Chloe's house without having to call her up for directions on my final approach.A much needed sandwich was made for me (thank you Chloe)

I had a quick shopping expedition yesterday and my mission was to find something to wear for going to Outskirts tomorrow (Monday) night with Chloe. The look I'm looking for is summer, casual, something you'd wear out to the pub of the like. The idea I'd had was to get one of those white linen long skirts and something to go with it. That was the plan.I also had a top to take back to Top Shop

I spoke to the lady at the salon today about getting IPL done on my chest. You usually need about six sessions separated by 6-8 weeks (I think that's right). She asked if I'd been out in the sun or on sun bed's recently as it's not good to do the IPL if you've been exposed to UV, the process uses light to get rid of the hair but sun changes the pigment in your skin which can create problems.

I'm notoriously bad at keeping any form of diary or journal, however I'm going to do my very best to keep this one up to date but more importantly alive! So, if it goes a couple of weeks without an entry, feel free to give me a nudge in the right direction.I've been thinking about getting some hair removal done, just on my chest and stomach first to see how it goes but ultimately I'm thinking I

Wow... I had a great night! I'm obviously talking about the BNO (Big Night Out) at the Pink Punters last night.From the start... I drove down to Milton Keynes and got there about mid day, Nicky and I were supposed to be going shopping but unfortunately she got held up with work and joined me a bit later by which time I'd been around most of the shops and got the few bits I had wanted to get.

Well, it's been a week or so since I met up with Chloe for the makeover, it still feels like it was yesterday, partly because we had such a fun time. Anyway, this entry's going to be filled with some thoughts I've had over the last few weeks and now I should be up to date with the blog (woo hoo!).A lovely person sent me a message last week which had the quote:"Be yourself, because those that

I never know how to start these off so this is probably as good as any, anyway, I was talking to a tranny friend of mine and she mentioned that she was probably going to get a makeover done. I said to her "Wow, it'd be fun to do it together", which looking back was a little cheeky of me but if you don't ask you don't get eh? Luckily she thought it was great idea and asked them if there was space

Like I say, I've been dressing on and off since school, always behind closed doors until a couple of weeks ago when I met up with Nicky Derwent and Rihanna in London. I received a message from Nicky saying a few girls were meeting up in London to go out to the Way Out Club and whether I'd like to go? I was shocked and honored that I'd been invited so it would have been rude to turn down such a

Well, I decided to get my self to a tranny shop for some advice etc:I visited the Birmingham Transformation Shop which was pretty scary, I parked up around the corner and walked along the road up to the shop and kept walking past the shop as I was a bit nervous but plucked up my courage and went up to the door. I opened the outer door and then tried to go through the inner door but it was locked

First of all, this blog's as much for my own benefit as for other people taking the same journey as I am.I'm in my mid twenties, 5'7" (off heels) slim (size 6-8 uk) t-girl living in the West Mids, UK and I wear size 6 heels.I've been dressing on and off since school, always behind closed doors, I'd always been in two minds about it all. Not sure if it was right etc, I've had a few purges of my
