Posted on December 18, 2013 by thevenerablecorvex

Concerning Romance

Posted on July 9, 2013 by thevenerablecorvex

It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been more than nine months since I broke-up with Nominatissima. I think, though, that it is time for me to move-on romantically. This, of course, is easier said than done:  I am … Continue reading →

Of Sex and Loneliness

Posted on January 6, 2013 by thevenerablecorvex

I’ve never been very much of a social animal; I didn’t really “hang out” with my friends in High School or University and my attendance at parties over the years has been sporadic at best. I tend to find the … Continue reading →

The Effects of Prolonged Exposure

Posted on December 29, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

Asexuality and Transgenderism

Posted on October 11, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

I had a check-up meeting with my endocrinologist this morning, now several months on the hormones. She measured my blood pressure, examined my development (such as it was) and asked me a series of questions. “How do you feel generally?” … Continue reading →

Posted on October 1, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

The Secret History of Jaime (Part 8): Fumbling Towards Womanhood

Posted on August 25, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

The Secret History of Jaime (Part 6): Arrested Development

Posted on August 25, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

The Secret History of Jaime (Part 5): Crossdressing

Posted on August 23, 2012 by thevenerablecorvex

I first tried cross-dressing about a week after my eleventh birthday. I can’t recall precisely what motivated it: probably my growing fixation on the physical manifestations of femininity, though some of it was a form of private rebellion. I recall … Continue reading →
