This week’s post discusses why a tailor is important, how to find a good tailor, what to ask for, and what to expect while you’re there.

In my opinion, a good tailor is especially important to transguys; they can take an ill fitting wardrobe and customize it to your style, body-type and specifications. A tailor adds polish and sophistication to your closet. 

As always, thanks for reading, and please let me know if you have any questions.

In a recent post I wrote briefly about the fact that, sadly, many trans* people face discrimination, or bias on a regular basis. We all have different ways of handling these incidents: from internalization or quiet protest, to confrontation or outright rage. This post discusses my thoughts on handling these situations, with as much as civility as possible. I understand this is a highly personalized matter, and everyone has their own style. I just wanted to post my thoughts, and ways that I like to handle these unfortunately common situations.

As always, I welcome (polite) conversation and discussion. Thanks everyone!

A post about the belief (by some) that rules of etiquette are dead. I discuss a few examples, and considerations for transmen. Any questions, comments or discussions are welcome!

I recently had a reader ask about how to pick out and wear scents. Here is my reply, with some general thoughts, as well as considerations for transmen. As always, feel free to ask any questions, about attire, grooming, etiquette, or anything else! Thanks for reading.

Just a little love note to my wife (and readers) for Valentine’s Day. We should show our friends, families (including our pets!), and significant others (“Sig-O’s”) that we love them everyday. But today is a day to go that extra mile, and do something above and beyond to show them that we appreciate, respect, and love them.

So to everyone out there: I wish you all the love in the world. No matter who you are, how you identify, how old or young you are, or anything else - you ARE loved. Take today to celebrate that love, and give your love to others!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to post something with a little romantic twist. So here are my thoughts on offering an arm to a significant other (or as I call them “Sig-O”), or other in need of assistance…
