The last time I went out in public properly as Isabelle was in April 2023 for Cosfest at Gardens by the Bay. A month later my egg cracked and I started HRT. Since then I've not been in the proper headspace to go out in public as Isabelle....
Festive seasons can be stressful events; other than the logistics and multiple visitations, there's also the need to interact with friends and relatives not seen in a while. Beyond initial pleasantries, there are questions of how one is doing with life, job, love and comments about appearances. For...

(I love comics from @theAwkwardYeti, so if you haven't heard of him, do check his blog out)The trigger for this post was something that happened when I went for my hair transplant in Bangkok. I'll just paste the note I wrote when I was feeling incredibly emotional. ...
Since my last post, quite a number of people have reached out to me to ask about things. Messages were mainly from people in the crossdressing community that I had known for some time. There were encouraging messages cheering me on and wishing me the best in my...
