Transwoman Times


From Justine Valinotti: the life of a transwoman.

I began this blog on 7 July 2008 to recount some of my thoughts, feelings and actions, as well as medical events, of the year leading up to my GRS/SRS.

On 7 July 2009, Dr. Marci Bowers very successfully performed my surgery.

In the early days of my recovery, I decided to continue this blog to describe what I experience and learn as I begin to live as a "new woman."

Here I've come.

A journey that neither I nor anyone else could have foreseen has brought me here today.

You can follow this journey on my blogs: "Mid-Life Cycling" and "Transwoman Times." I am also serializing a book on another blog, "Memories and Those Who Stayed."
