Hello I am Alison, welcome to my website.
MY HOBBIES & INTERESTS:-
I am aged 50, am a male to female trans-woman. I am happy that I am on HRT, its me!. Am into fashion, walking, socializing, pen palling, antique jewellery, handbags, shoes and anything that’s feminine! I like reading female magazines, writing articles and learning new things. I like Spirit and Destiny and Fate and fortune magazines. I also like pen palling. I like meeting people for coffee. I also write stories & poems, been writing since 2006.
I am a member of a few women's groups, which is good. I did an online course with Onside with disability action 2020-2021. I also did training with Pips the suicidal support group, which was good.
I like watching the soaps, dramas and documentaries on tv and surfing the internet. I am into crystals and gem stones and I have a various range of gem stones from Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Hematite to name a few. I have links for various Crystal websites at bottom of the page.
WHAT AM DOING AT THE MOMENT & RECENTLY:- Am doing a Creative writing course, arts & crafts course and still writing articles.
I did an advocacy course, also resilance & Journaling courses, also WRAP & courses with Onside with Disability Action. I am also submitting four poems to go into a book in connection with Crescent Arts Centre. I am also doing an assertiveness course for a few weeks.
One of the things that I wish to achieve or try to achieve as an over all goal is to try to change the curculum in schools to cover trans-gendered issues. I am aware that supports groups do work in schools to help to stamp out problems.
HISTORY OF GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER:-
When I was growing up my brain was telling me female and my body was male, I didn’t feel right or comfortable wearing male clothes.
I then started to cross-dressed for many years. Then felt after a few years cross dressing that I wished to be female or live as a woman, but didn't know how to go about it. I went through a time of depression when I was in male gender, which I was very unhappy, I felt I wanted to be dressed as a woman and this was tearing me up inside when I was out socializing in male gender and I wanted to have my handbag and be dressed as a woman.
I cross-dressed openly for a few years before I then started to properly live as a woman. I lived as a woman for 2 years before starting starting Hormone treatment. Soon after me starting hormone treatment, I went to a beauty and clothes consultant, to help me to wear clothes & makeup that were suitable for my age.
2009 I got mentioned in the Equality Bill in Stormont and in the House of Commons to help people who have Gender Identity Disorder Trans-woman or Trans-man to use the disabled toilet without problems. Also managed to help women with children with prams and buggies to use the Disabled toilet into the legislation. As I felt people who were changing genders should be able to use a toilet without humiliation or embarrassment.
I have written about 20 articles from Northern Ireland, England and also the USA. In 2009 I did 2 walks for breast cancer one 3 mile walk, race for life, and the other a 13 mile walk for Breast cancer in Hyde Park in May 2009, I raised over £200. I haven't done too much between 2009 & 2010, which just did courses of art & also philosophy, I had to move between 2009 & 2010 twice.
