Hi -I'm a 53 trans-woman, I've been pretty close to full-time for about a year and work as a maintenance person
in the Twin Cities MN area. I play blues harmonica with a small group at Legions and pizza places and stuff like that
and am a member of a very large LGBT choir. I'm hoping to change my name (to Stacy) and my gender marker (to F ) in the
next month or so (cash to file the forms is the only hold up, that and I think I want a lawyer when I go in to see the
Judge) I have a few trans, Lesbian and straight friends -I'm not very passable (which matters more than anyone wants to
admit I think) but other than not being able to meet a guy who wants to go on a date, in general I'm healthy and active and
a lot happier than I thought I ever would be when I started this whole thing a few years ago. I thought it might be good
to have an online resource for transitioning and general trans-related information, so that's why I'm here.
-Stacy Wilderness
(oh PS - I don't do drag very often but as a part-time trans musician sometimes I'll go to a gay bar and play my harmonica
"in drag" which looks a lot like when I'm not in drag except that I'm in 4" heels and I wear a corset and I stuff stuff in a
"D" cup bra -it's all very silly really but when I do this I use Stacy Wilderness as my stage name, Stacy something else will
be my legal name)
