Two genders Two Tails

Hey all!

I hope everyone is doing great and is also having a great Bank Holiday weekend. Mine has been great! My favorite football team Wigan Athletic has been promoted back to the Championship and even if they lose their last game of the season and Burton Albion win their last game Wigan's goal difference is too much by around 20/21 goals so it means Wigan are unofficially champions!

Last week


Last week I was off work on holiday and it turned out to be a massive week for me as on my first day off it was my works outing. I know I've been out before and it was to the same place as we went for Christmas which was a Restaurant called 'Fat Olive'

I kind of felt it was a bit different this time as I was more independent when it came to talking to people and also it was the first time from the start I was ordering drinks as well as it was me being out while it was still daylight, It was funny as the bar staff which was great and soon I didn't have to speak as they knew I was ordering a double vodka and cola. A few days later I was back in helping out for a few hours as it was a massive promotion change which meant changing the posters round for most of the store. My shift was a 6pm - 9pm. Again I went in as female and yes I've already been to work as female but this time it was when we was open to the public so it gave the public a chance to see me and if they wanted they could also interact with me, so I decided as I was only in work to do the promotional side to wear my own clothes and just get on with it. Luckily during the shift when we was open no customers approached me, I did have a couple who was always looking at me but I just got on with my job. It's wasn't my fault they fought I looked great and had the best boots in the world... So I keep telling myself that to keep me focused on what I was doing rather than worrying what they was actually thinking about.

Even now I'm thankful that I work with some of the best people in the world, they're very accepting, loving, kind and just pure awesome. My biggest issue is with myself as I could bring thank you cards and chocolate in which I will probably do again at some point I will always feel in debt to them for all the support I've had. I feel this with my friends but I spend so much time with these guys and we all gel so well.

1st May 2016 we had a big meeting and one of those where you discuss the plans for the next 12 months like any other business etc, and where recognition is given to all the people for their hard work over the year but this had a twist and it got all of us by surprise. We all knew my name as male would pop up as part of the team but my manager also added me as female so "Nick/Sarah". I've done two small shifts and have been to both works outings as female. Even though it was funny seeing both my male and female names on the screen it also hit home and I feel just part of the team as female. I decided to give a small speech which basically was me saying thank you for their support as without it there would be no way I would be as confident. I'm not going to lie I was about to break into tears while saying my little speech but one thing I'm not great at it's crying. I would like to thank my friends and my Dad because you guys also help me.

Sarah Meets

This year has been amazing already for myself and this blog and now I'm happy to announce a new project. For around a week on my Facebook I've been teasing a new thing that I will be doing on here. Its called Sarah Meets. 

Sarah Meets is where I will be talking to other transgender people, I'm new to the trans community and being trans on a whole so I want to learn about what I can expect when it comes to hormones and other things that I will face in my journey transitioning to female. I want to share their stories of what they went through and my aim is for this to help others and for people that aren't transgender to see what we go through everyday. I aim to talk to people from different parts of the world so we can learn about their culture and how being trans affects them.

Everything will be written as I'm not that confident to talk to a camera and record the other person and I love writing. I have a few people up to now that have said that they want to participate so it will be interesting to hear their say and I can't wait to start talking to them and doing this. I have no week set when I will post this but I will keep you all informed. I'm planning on seeing if I can get some known trans people from the community as it can add other things but on the whole its about every person and their journey to being who they are.

There has been trans people in the paper and on media and I would like to see how it has affected them or if it has changed anything in their life. People have transitioned in their job and stayed with the same employer so I would like to know what they went through and share it for others that are in the same position, every body's journey is/will be different but at least with this depending on the person any their stories they could be good and bad. I know I've been inspired by some peoples stories I've read and would love to share them but coming from them not just through papers.


So please stay tuned more information will come shorty. :)
