Ok, let's begin. Welcome to a little bit of knowledge about myself - tina...aka...dave I bet a lot of people who may read this probably will have never known that that is my real name.



I am 22 years old and was born the usual male. Well, at least i thought I was until I started to dress in my sister's clothes at a young age. I didn't really think there was anything wrong with it as it just seemed kind of normal if you know what I mean. As I moved into my teens the dressing was pretty much the same and I didn't really think anything of it.

I am not sure how I came up with my tina personna and have no clue as to why i chose the name. Yet it has been a few years on and i am stuck with it. Katya has always laughed at me for this and it is jut a little joke we (her) like to tease me over. I don't really remember the time or place when I decided to become a little bit more serious with my dressing and it all seems like a small blur in the past. I do remember always wanting a wig and to see what and if I would look any more feminine if I did have one. I can say without a doubt that a wig is probably the one and most important item that a tgirl will possess unless they have grown their own hair.

Why I can't grow my hair - well...by day I work in the 'Big Smoke' that is London and believe it or not am working my way towards being a solicitor one day. I am currently a paralegal and enjoying it for the moment. It does have its rewards and its downfalls but it is something that I am determined to achieve and therefore I have to forfeit some things such as long hair.

What else to say in this opening blog...

Katya - my friend, my love, my guidance and my support. She has been amazing since she found about tina and has stayed with me through tough times. It has been difficult explaining everything to her about the way I am and it has indeed helped me along the way. I now feel so comfortable within myself and about the way I am and who i am and have no regrets or any strange feelings. In fact I rather like who I am and am proud of it. Why not be different, not many people can vouch to be different in this; being different, in my eyes, is a special key to feeling happy with yourself.

For the moment I would like to say thank you for anybody who is to read this blog and for all the support in the past and future. But personally I would like to thank Katya for being with me at all times.

Our Blog!

Hey everyone, this is our blog which we have decided to start together to explain to the world a little bit about who we are and what we are like. We have learnt a lot from other people's experiences and have together decided that maybe others can learn a bit form our experiences. We will both be writing either together or individually and will be asking each other questions, answering them truthfully and in doing so will achieve a complete understanding of one another. We will post pictures of ourselves and have some fun in the process.

Hopefully we can be an inspiration for other couples in our situation.

Thank you,

Tina & Katya

Can I introduce myself???????

Hi,

Firstly if you're reading this thanks for stopping by our blog! Leave us a message, it's always nice to know who's reading what we write and if it actually matters to anyone!

I know gorgeous tina has already written a brilliant introduction (that actually says pretty much everything me thinks) i just thought i'd come and introduce myself a bit further.

I'm the GG in this relationship if you didn't know that already, the Genetic Girl, the girlfriend, slave, chef, chief ironer, the one that wears the trousers...ok well most of the time I wear skirts....but I'm the born female. I also have a whole manner of other names under my belt but we can talk about those later.

Firstly let me clear something up, I haven't always known about tina. When I first met 'Stud' (that was my nickname for the male tina before we actually got serious) I thought he was, well, normal. I know that's not a PC term and I've since learned that there are a myriad of 'normals' out there but you all know what I mean. I didn't sign up for a tranny girlfriend/boyfriend is what I'm trying to say. He was beautiful. I thought he was the most gorgeous man I'd ever laid eyes on, not to mention the funniest, and I still think that.

I didn't learn about Tina until a long time into our relationship and, even when I did find out, Tina very kindly gave me the 'censored' picture of what was really going on. It was, looking back, probably not the best option on her part but it was difficult for her and for me.

Anyway, now I've cleared that up (it's something that people always ask!), I'll tell you a bit about me. I'm a graduate, a Commercial Surveyor, wannabe rock star/female superhero, currently brunette but usually blonde and believe me being a brunette has not raised my IQ at all. I pay for a gym membership every month, however I rarely manage to go, but I figure that it's the thought that counts so on that thread I go to the gym everyday apart from Sundays. I like food, I love to cook it, I like wine, the colour blue, reading (Vogue, Elle etc...and yes that counts) blah blah blah. I'm not very interesting I'm just an average girl with an 'interesting' boyfriend. Sometimes 'interesting' is not my word of choice, 'pain in the arse' springs to mind but he's usually pretty damn lovely!

Tina started this blog thing up (mainly because I'm crap at working computers) so that we could share our story with people, although I'm not sure if it's you guys who are gonna learn the most about us. I think, maybe, that it's going to be us who learn a lot about eachother. Tina and I communicate well, better than anyone I know, but somehow you always hold something back for a whole variety of reasons. Typing makes it easier, it's like being given a 'license to kill' somewhat, so I hope Tina is ready for the can of worms she may have just opened up haha

I'm not sure what else I can write about my real self here today. I could write blog upon blog upon blog just of all the things that I have in my head and I'm sure over the next few weeks it'll all come out....maybe Tina could write something now about herself and a bit about where she's come from................??
