 Felicia's Gem of Wisdom...
"Even someone who views herself as totally female still has to face the notion that she has some masculine aspects. Without this balance, we would not be put together too well. We need to develop a degree of integration of our different selves and parts."

Life
Lesson in Trans Femininity ~ Imagine
yourself as a five-foot-five,
slim, curvaceous, and amazingly
attractive woman, the best looking
woman in the casino night club, a
fem fatale. It’s after hours,
but the club is bustling with
activity. Now see yourself saunter
like a feline into the center bar
filled to maximum capacity with
all sorts of upscale ladies and
gents. Imagine that all eyes
fixate on your every movement, on
your curves, on your lovely
feminine features. You take your
place at the bar as two seats open
up for you and your friend like
the parting of the Red Sea.

Lifespan
Development and Aging in
Transgendered Persons ~ Human
development spans a lifetime, at
least for most individuals. Humans
develop physically, cognitively,
intrapsychically, socially, and
spiritually throughout their lives
with twists and turns and critical
readiness periods as they shift
into each successive phase of
development. Piaget explored the
cognitive development in humans
while Kohlberg, more specifically,
addressed how humans develop
morally. Freud was concerned with
psychosexual development and
Erikson focused on how humans
develop psychosocially.
Developmental theorists typically
posit that humans change
qualitatively not just
quantitatively from one stage to
the next.

Why Dress Up and Go Out? ~ Can you imagine waiving a magic wand and entering through a port hole into a whole other existence that is filled with enchantment, glamour, excitement, and admiration from others? Women are such lovely creatures especially when they dress up and amplify their physical attributes. Honestly, I am envious and admiring of my true female sisters for they have been gifted with subtle influences that go beyond the obvious power of domination that males possess...

Feminine Influences ~ The person in my life who most influenced the development of my feminine side was probably my mother. She was an amateur actress who played the leading lady parts in a number of plays. I remember sitting in the theatre as a young boy when this steamy woman would walk out on stage and everyone would be entranced by her beauty. Was this the same woman who I called “mom” and who only hours before had been preparing my dinner? I remember trying on her clothes and wondering if I would ever be transformed from what I considered to be “ordinary” to “special”?

Yin-Yang GenderEvolution ~ (co-authored with Michele Angelique) I would say that the GenderEvolve group has both qualitative and quantitative mechanisms in place for evolving both the amount and quality of interaction of its members. It seems that quantitative research has more masculine, yang energy and that qualitative research has more feminine, yin energy, but that both are necessary for completeness...

Beware of Bubba ~ You recognize him as he enters the room by the glazed look in his eyes and sense his presence by the way the hair on the back of your neck straightens and your stomach starts to knot. He has spotted you. “I like girls, not guys who look like girls” rushes through his thoughts. Attempting to fight back the initial attraction that started the chemical chain of events from the brain pathways, he clenches his fists and bites down hard as the veins in his neck protrude...
