2025 Review: My First Year Between Genders

This is my 2025 Review and honestly it still feels unreal. I created Between Genders on June 4th, 2025 with no idea what would happen. I only knew I was not a crossdresser anymore and I was no longer comfortable pretending that label fit me. I was a transgender woman trying to understand herself while living in the space between expectation and truth. This entire year became one long lesson in identity, connection, courage, and community.

My 2025 Review of Gender Identity and Personal Growth

I started gender therapy which immediately pushed me to confront parts of myself I had ignored. As I continued working with my therapist I began to confirm pieces of my identity I had always suspected but never felt brave enough to name.

Because of this work I slowly started integrating my gender identity into my marriage and family life. It was not simple and it was never perfect but it moved me forward. Every session brought clarity and every conversation with my wife deepened our understanding of each other.

My 2025 Review of Blog Growth and Community Support

Now for the numbers because they absolutely surprised me. Since launching the blog I reached 11,000 sessions and 8,600 active readers. In the last thirty days alone I reached 4,000 sessions. I also gained nearly 100 newsletter subscribers and published more than one hundred fifty articles. I even received 209 comments with 111 from readers and 98 from me.

Your favorite posts this year were

1. Caught Crossdressing by Wife: The Moment That Changed It All
2. MTF HRT Timeline What Changes To Expect (and How Fast)
3. I Tried ABDL (Kind Of). Here Is What I Learned
4. Crossdressing for Sexual Thrill: The Truth No One Talks About
5. Forced Feminization And Sissification: Am I Still Trans?
6. MTF Supplements I Tried For Feminization (And What Worked)

These results surprised me at first but they also made sense. Readers want honesty especially around sexuality and identity. Because these topics are rarely discussed openly it makes them even more meaningful to explore.

I received a surprising amount of support from other bloggers. Thank you to Bluestocking Blue, Dotting I’s And Crossing T’s, Indisputably Isobel, Kandi’s Land, Still In The Pink Fog, Violetta Arden’s World, and YATGB for the shout outs and backlinks. You are all amazing and I appreciate every one of you.

Building The Blogroll

This year I also created the Between Genders Blogroll. I loved T-Central but it no longer appears to be updated and when I requested to join I never received a response. Instead of waiting I built something new. I wanted a living directory of crossdresser, transgender, and gender questioning blogs that update in real time.

To make that happen I gathered every active or recently active personal blog I could find. The newest posts always appear at the top while older ones remain available in case the writers return. As a result readers can discover new voices without digging.

If you have a blog (or know of one I have not included), please contact me and let me know! I would absolutely love to include it here.

Projects You Did Not See

There was also a major behind the scenes project. I quietly started writing a book focused on diet nutrition and exercise for creating a transfeminine body. Since I needed a guide for myself and could not find one that existed I decided to research and write the book I needed.

The manuscript is about halfway finished and should be ready sometime in 2026. There might even be a second book depending on how the next few months go.

2025 Review of The Hard Stuff

This year was full of progress but it was also full of struggle. Although therapy helped I still had days where dysphoria hit hard. I still felt embarrassed or ashamed at times. I still questioned myself and my presentation. I still felt caught between genders especially when trying to balance family expectations with my own identity.

Because of these challenges I often struggled with imposter syndrome both as a transgender person and as a writer. I also found it difficult to manage work family and the emotional weight of this blog. Even so these challenges shaped me and helped me grow.

What Is Coming In 2026

I do not want to promise strict plans. This blog works best when I write from genuine experience. Even so, I hope to offer more guides, personal reflections, and a particular focus on sexuality content. That seems to be overwhelmingly what readers enjoy. I also want to share monthly outfits continue documenting my therapy journey and finally release the transfeminine body book.
