I have many email friends because I have travelled extensively during my life and several of them know my male identity. I have left instructions to my family to let them know when I shuffle off this mortal coil and I know that they will then pass the word to those who know me only as Joanne.joanne askewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512594779172929935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-55635162997964608642020-09-29T14:38:51.741-04:002020-09-29T14:38:51.741-04:00I’m afraid that will be me; just fade away.

Such as it is given the secrecy of many people who are like us.<br /><br />To a minor extent there are those who you lose contact with as they device not to attend social events, post online, or otherwise.<br /><br />There's also the loss of a community, online or otherwise, when the key organisers pass away or cannot maintain thoughts on their own.Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-91313199320607104532020-09-29T11:54:49.374-04:002020-09-29T11:54:49.374-04:00I agree Stana.

I have been fortunate to be able to attend a transgender wedding (both M-F)about 4 years ago, and the funeral of an out crossdressing gay man (who died of AIDS) about 23 years ago. One happy event, one sad.<br />Angel AmoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-53835590362995597352020-09-29T10:01:27.350-04:002020-09-29T10:01:27.350-04:00Deep subject matter, and it now has me thinking ab...Deep subject matter, and it now has me thinking about making arrangements (I like Fiona's advice) Thank you for bringing it up, Stana.<br />I must also say I adore the Venus dress highlighted here, and I think that this Femulator is NOT a civilian, judging by the eyebrows.Julie M Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335088569492502222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-80192692673417189322020-09-29T06:36:32.828-04:002020-09-29T06:36:32.828-04:00I was fortunate that the wife of my friend, whom I...I was fortunate that the wife of my friend, whom I only knew as Penny, contacted me after her death.

Get a conservative email address from them (not LolaTVGurl@yahoo.com).Tell a reliable friend, one close to you, "You know I have friends I speak to online, all over, right? Can I ask you a little favor? If I give you 1 or 2 addresses, when I die, could you email them and just tell them I have passed away? My family will be kind of busy making arrangements.

Whoa!, says I - is this really a woman? (This was when I still thought people like me were rare). I clicked the picture,and wound up at Helen Millen's Flickr page. It was a revelation - openly a cross-dresser, out and about with a large number of others. She posted new pictures often over the next few years, then posted less, then stopped altogether. After a couple weeks somebody posted to her page that she had passed away from an undefined medical condition.

Or god forbid the worst has happened? Stana dear, do you have a contingency plan for that? Something to consider maybe, but most of the time it's due to lack of material to post I guess.Sara Michelle Stirrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880169887287186661noreply@blogger.com
