Datti KapellaWhat a Millenium! I've been increasing my personal time out and my beautiful wife has been joining me! We're shopping and going places as two girls. What a great time. I've also been working on expanding my business and adding a few more websites to my entourage. In case you didn't know....I'm the Webmistress for Carla's in San Jose. It's been a great experience.

My look has also been changing. I think for the better....I've been developing a more feminine attitude and my presentation is more subdued...more like a "GG" would look. Is it my imagination? Probably. Anyway....that's where I'm at.

The Denver Chapter of the Society for the Second Self (Tri-Ess) is now re-established as Tau Sigma Kappa (TSK). We are working on establishing ourselves as part of the community and having fun doing it. Even developed a logo (everyone needs a logo) for the group.

Datti KapellaThe journey continues. I still have some internal conflicts about this whole thing. But my wife keeps me focused. I should be getting enjoyment from these activities and not burden myself with guilt. We have a close-knit set of friends who know (because they are also CD) and my wife is supportive of me. What else could I want? So I've been trying to get myself away from thinking of the negative -- cultural and social -- biases of our society. I've always been someone who "pushes the envelope" and this is really no different.

Amelia EarhartOur Tri-Ess chapter has started a newsletter entitled: Courage in Diversity. The title comes from a quote by Amelia Earhart:

 

"Courage is the price that life extracts for being granted peace with yourself."

 

My friend, Jeanine Williams, closes her letters with that quote. It is so telling because we require that courage to continue on this journey.

March 2001

I am truly enjoying the merger of my femme and homme sides. My perception is that I am blending the various aspects of my psyche in such a way that I am become a more complete human being. The fact that I like wearing clothes normally assigned to a different sex is an artifact. Instead, I believe that I enjoy being able to represent all of my personality without regard to gender.

OK....how many believe all that? Well....I do, for one. Still, I love dressing up, going out and being seen as a female. I'm still not sure why, but I continue. I've made some new friends who know about me and still like me for who I am -- and what I am.

I'll just keep on going!
