Dealing With Discovery

I have passed along several of the amazing insights of "Sherri Lynne" who is a rarity in our transgendered world. Sherri is an actual transgender therapist who counsels other trans women and I assume men.
Recently her life was upended when her Mom found out about her new life.
As always, the post she wrote about the experience speaks volumes to all of us.
You can read it here.
I'm sure you will all join with me in wishing Sherri the best!

A Preview of "Trannsnation.Com".

I have finally launched a much anticipated (in my mind) companion website to the "Cyrsti's Condo" called "Trannsnation.com".
Initially I plan on keeping nearly all original content here and using the website primarily as a place where I can sort and compile many of the common threads we have discussed over the years. With over 815 published posts it was time to spread out a bit!
Admittedly I haven't done much with the "Trannsnation.com" web platform yet, but I'm loving the new bells and whistles.
I'm not exactly "Techno or Web Design Girl" so it will take me awhile to put it all together.
In the meantime my initial compilation post is called "Hormone Dreams". You can follow the link here
The post begins on Labor Day 2011 and finishes the middle of this February.
I began with this topic because it's the one that seems to create the most interest.
As always Thanks! to all of you for being along for the ride!
Cyrsti.

Another Transgender Pioneer

Have you ever heard of "Dani Bunten"?

From the "Kotaku" Gaming site comes this salute to "Dani" who was born Daniel and was a pioneer in the gaming world.
"There are plenty of legends in the world of video games whose names will fly off the tongues of casual fans. Nolan Bushnell. Trip Hawkins. Shigeru Miyamoto. Will Wright. Sid Meier.

It's a shame, then, that so few can name another of the all-time greats, Danielle Bunten Berry.
Or, as she was known before 1992, Dan Bunten.
The designer born as Daniel Paul Bunten in 1949 is important to video games for any number of reasons, some trivial, some vital to the progression of the entire medium.
Her first game (yes, her first game, we'll get to that), 1978's Wheeler Dealers, was the first ever PC game to be sold in a printed box instead of a sleeve or plastic bag, a necessity born of the game's inclusion of a custom controller."
Sadly, she passed away in 1998 from lung cancer. For more on the story, follow the link above.
