Born in the wrong era. And gender.

Author: transretrogurl

I'm just a gender-confused, middle-aged man who scrubs up occasionally into a retro-style-loving Ditzy Gurl. This blog is my way of trying to share the journey, but more importantly to make people realise that being trans, of *any* sort, is perfectly normal. And fun, actually. Stay beautiful, sweeties....

[Fun] T’is the season to be jolly, silly and chilly

December 6, 2021 2 Comments

Yes, that chosen image is real and not photoshopped. For a brief moment on Saturday I was not only transgender but transpecies as well and it was bloody hilarious. And another fun post, as I’m trying to cheer myself up and not be such a ‘Winona Rider in Beetlejuice’ girl all the time. So last… Continue reading [Fun] T’is the season to be jolly, silly and chilly

Been a bit serious lately; I tend to spasm between dancing through the grass in a frilly flowery dress picking buttercups and swooning over the latest male crush (metaphorically, bear with me, in a bit of a florid prose mode this morning) and doing the Winona Rider Beetlejuice Daughter schtick, all doom, gloom and gorgeous… Continue reading [Fun] Real Housewives of 1950’s America

I promise a two-fer today if I can keep up the energy to write; this blog post has been a while coming and might be a bit up and down, matching my mood at the moment, but might also make a huge lot of sense for a lot of readers who are in the same… Continue reading [Philosophy] CD = Contrary Dichotomy

It has been a while since I did a ‘thinky’ blog post (and excuse me for using that word but it’s been a long and lazzzy weekend, first one I can remember, and I’m chilled and not so much of a grammer-fascist as I normally try to be). I was going to do a fluffy… Continue reading [Philosophy] What’s in a Name? Everything….

Well, that was a weekend of Epiphanies. And a start of the week of Epiphanies as well. So, the plan was quite ambitious; in fact it was a plan to celebrate, cough, my fiftieth session with Cindy at Boys Will be Girls. Yeah, I’ll let that sink in; not boasting and, as I’ve said before,… Continue reading [Philosophy] Out, About, and Outted. Kinda.

“Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slingbacks and arrows of outrageous fashion….”; yeah, I’ll stop the pseudo Buttshakespeare and just get on with chatting about a gorgeous couple of outfits Cindy picked for me. As I’ve said before, many many times, I have a weird sense of fashion when it comes to… Continue reading [Frock Tales] To Posh, or not to Posh, that is the question

What I love about this blog, other than the fact that I can leave it for weeks and still come back when I get a perfumed urge, is that it works, for me, as a whiteboard for my internal chaos. Occasionally I like to be serious and say things that have been bubbling around in… Continue reading [Philosophy] Sat at the T-Junction waiting…

Yes, it’s been a while. I have a decent excuse this time, not that I do normally; I managed to do the Night Shine walking marathon for Cancer Research (did it in 6 hours 30 mins as well, for 28 miles, which is pretty good speed). So my concentration has not been on the softer… Continue reading [Fashion] The Eye-ful Tower of Babble

A bit of fun for an Autumnal Tuesday morning. Did a session on Saturday as a little treat for myself, given I’ve been training way too hard for the marathon on the 25th. The Morton’s Neuroma in my foot is still painful, my back still hurts and I’ve got that mixture of excitement and dread,… Continue reading [Fashion] The Bride with the bag on her head

[Frock Tales] The long and very short of it all….

August 28, 2021 2 Comments

There are some looks that seem to strike a chord with people and this little, with an emphasis on the word ‘little’, dress really ticks a lot of boxes. But there’s a really fun story behind it which makes me smile as I think about typing it. I have talked about it in the past… Continue reading [Frock Tales] The long and very short of it all….
