Four years ago, I created a transwoman bucket list, that is, things to do in your life as a woman. Readers suggested additions and I made some additions, too.
Heather recently emailed me the list with the items that she did do, didn't do and did not want to do, so noted. She also had a bunch of additions.
Her email motivated me to update the my list and post it here. [A checkmark (✓) indicates an item I accomplished;
X indicates an item I am not interested in accomplishing.]

My count of your list shows about 49% complete. It might be fun if a file of the list were available for download .....
ReplyDeleteMy count is 55% (80/44) and if I subtract the 7 that I am not interesting in accomplishing, it is 60%.
DeleteStana -- what 7 items are you not wanting to accomplish? Some of those are quite something!
Deletedeborah sawyer
An X follows the 7 items in the list that I do not want to accomplish.
DeleteWhich others on the list do you plan to check off in the future?
ReplyDeleteAlso, would you write about how you feel about the election results?
Interesting that I can't find anything via Google about Simon Cruz, the male womenswear model.
ReplyDeleteThat's because I spelled his name wrong! It's Simon Cuz, not Cruz.
DeleteVery nice! I'm so glad to see so many check marks on your new list! Stana, you are an inspiration to me. I do not think I'd have 1/4th the confidence I have if it were not for your blog, the list of friends on the right hand column and others who are like us giving me strength to be Heather.
