Hello, lovelies.
Okay, deep breath—because this part of my journey? It’s done. Sort of.
Over the last month, I’ve been pouring out everything I can remember about how all of this started. The earliest whispers. The stolen panties. The hidden dressing. The guilt, the curiosity, the relationships, the mess. All of it. It’s been intense, honestly. Way more emotional than I expected. But I also feel like it was so necessary—for me, and for this blog.
So what now?
Now comes the next phase.
The first part was about how I got here. This next part? It’s about learning how to be Michelle.
Because I don’t just magically wake up looking femme and flawless. It takes work. And right now, I’m in that awkward “figure it the hell out” stage. So I’m going to write the books I wish I had.
And guess what? I already outlined four of them:
- Feminization Fitness: A Real Guide to Shaping a More Feminine Body Without HRT
- Feminine Face: Makeup for Crossdressers and Trans Women Who Want to Glow Up
- Feminine Fashion for AMAB Bodies: A Real Guide to Dressing Like the Woman You Are
- When Someone You Love Comes Out: A Real Guide for Partners of Trans, Genderfluid, and Crossdressing Folks
These are the books I need. Because they don’t exist yet. And I’m writing them one blog post at a time. Not as an expert—but as someone figuring it out right alongside you.
Let’s Talk Business (ugh, I know)
Okay, so real talk—I’m starting to think of Between Genders as a business. That feels weird to say. But also? Necessary.
I want this blog to be sustainable. Because there are a lot of great communities out there. And a lot of super binary resources. But for people like me—somewhere between genders, somewhere in the gray—it’s so hard to find actual guidance.
I want to be that resource. For the next wave of trans folks. For crossdressers who are questioning. For genderfluid babes and kink-curious cuties. For anyone out there thinking, “Is this even normal?”
Spoiler: it is.
Yes, that means I’m gonna start including affiliate links. But here’s my promise: I will never recommend random crap. If I link to a cami, it’s because I actually wanted to know what a cami is, why people wear them, and which ones people swear by. Then I shared.
Simple as that.
My Goals (aka: full honesty time)
Let’s just lay it all out, shall we?
Short-term goal? Fund Michelle’s journey. That means therapy. Doctor visits. Makeup. Clothes. Shapewear. Supplements. Maybe even a gym membership if I ever grow the courage to go femme. Honestly, it’s a lot to juggle.
Long-term goal? Replace my current career. Not because I hate it. But because this—this blog, this path, this identity—is where I actually grow. Where I feel alive. And yeah, calling this a “career” still feels kind of gross. But it’s true.
And if that all works out? If this really takes off?
Here’s the dream.
I want to buy a tiny, super cute second house. Just 20–30 minutes away. It’ll be Michelle’s studio. My little hideaway. A place I can dress, exist, work, and just be her without hiding. I’ll blog, write, cook, create. At 5 PM, I take everything off and head home to my family. Until transition becomes real, that’ll be enough.
Eventually? I’d love to travel as Michelle. Meet other bloggers. Spend time with the people who inspired me. Do girl stuff. Laugh. Cry. Drink wine and talk about eyeliner. You know. Live.
I know all of that sounds big. Maybe a little silly. But it’s mine.
This is what I’m building. One post at a time. One truth at a time. I’m not there yet—but I’m on the way.
And if you’re here, reading this?
Thank you. From the bottom of my femme little heart.
Thanks for sticking with me as I learn to exist… Between Genders.
