| Vladimir Luxuria |
They were my heroines because I thought it was very gutsy to be a male who was so open about his crossdressing. Closeted like I was, I could not imagine freely admitting to the civilian population that I was a male who crossdressed. But I always hoped that I could be like my heroines some day.
Revisiting my heroines, I realize now that I am like my heroines, that is, I live as a woman part time and don’t hide my male roots. I achieved heroine status and did not know it! And now that I achieved heroine status, I don’t think it is such a big deal.
The word “heroine” seems to be too strong a word for what I am. A heroine is “a woman admired or idealized for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” That’s not me.
Some say that some of the things I have done are courageous. But I never felt I needed courage to do what I did. I was just trying to live my life in a way that was fitting for me (and damn the torpedoes).

Stana......you are a Shero....to US.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... some people are nervous and some are not. But once the realisation hits that you can present as a woman there is no force strong enough to stop you.
ReplyDeleteGood post - You nailed it. That is me too. I live "MY" life and let other see what ever want. Authentic? Yes, the authentic person that I am!.
ReplyDeleteStill, you need to be commended, even if you won't do it yourself. I'll do it for you. You're amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteStana you are amazing and this site is such a wonderful resource. Like you I am a no-surgery, no-hormone transwoman and are legally male. I live my two lives and be as authentic as I can be. Nothing beats being your authentic self!

if not heroine, how about a role model? setting an example?
ReplyDeleteStana may eschew any heroine label out of modesty, but her scholarship is first-rate.
ReplyDeleteSurfacing image after image and references galore about long-departed femulators and depictions of our long-deceased "sisters" is an invaluable resource to those of us who care about the history of the TG/CD community. And finding fresh content for near-daily postings for years and years requires incredible diligence.
I get little peeved when cis people tell me how brave I am ~ I dot feel brave, I stayed closeted as long as I could in the end I just couldn't maintain dual persona, I have in to the inevitable. Sure I'm public, but as a musician it's hard not to be.
ReplyDeleteThere are photos of Vladimir that sure looks like she has breasts (and early photos of her flat chested). And looking at early and later photos I'm pretty sure she's had a nose job and maybe other facial surgery. Here's I photo I found searching "Vladimir Luxuria bikini"
