Hi there :)
Here you have it, a new blog by yours truly :). And as the title suggests, it'll be a space for me to share my musings. Mainly about being a trans-female in Malaysia (and a Muslim on top of that. Rais Yatim will have one heck of a time reading my posts here :p).
16 Nov 2009 marks a new leaf of my life. New job, new friends, and finally, I decided to stay true to myself and start living as a girl. Especially when you have bosses and colleagues you don't really mind about your gender identity :D.
I've been taking hormone pills seriously and consistently since September 2009, and my voice had always been on the feminine side since I was fourteen (14). How did I get that kind of voice? I'll leave that for later :). Looks... some people said that I have and androgynous look, which I would reply "no way!", but hey, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, right? Perhaps it's the lighting. I also have the tendency of walking with a sway (not that it ever capture anyone's attention. Else I'd be happily dating someone by now :| ), and I like clothings that accentuates my breast (A-cup :p).
Since then, I started to get more friends who are alike. Starting with Amy, a trans-girl from Subang. Jellene, a talented trans-girl drummer and bassist from Penang, and many others. Through Jellene, I got introduced to Seksualiti Merdeka, PT Foundation, and TransMalaysia. Next in my IN tray is Transgender Day of Remembrance, scheduled to happen on the last week of November (and we haven't prepare much! Yikes!).
This blog will be a channel for me to share about info on trans-female (note: for those who are already a trans-female. Am not interested on recruiting males into the trans-army~), issues on LGBT,a nd whatever related. Look forward for the next post, feel free to comment :)
Michelle, signing off for now~
