According To Who?

If you haven't figured it out by now, my name is Ashlee. I am a transgender woman living in rural Alabama.

I am polyamorous and have two cisgender women partners. All together, we have three kids who are our world.

An accomplished journalist, web/graphic designer, and award-winning producer, I maintain a professional career at a television station.

As I write this, I am in the very beginning stages of my journey as a trans person and look forward to sharing that journey with the world.

The Ulike Air 10 - First impression

Ulike Air 10 Okay, so we're poor bitches and don't have the money for professional laser hair removal. So, after weeks of research, we decided to give the Ulike Air 10 IPLE Hair Removel Device a try. The device, while heavy, isn't as heavy as I'd have imagined. It is somewhat bulky, but with the cooling fan in the device, it is to be expected. The controls are simple, albeit it took me a minute to figure out how to turn the auto flash on. The selling point of being "mostly painless" is very accurate. But, let me tell you, when it bites, it bites. I'm using SHR mode on my beard considering how thick it grows in and, on that fourth flash, it's a noticeable sting. I'm currently 5 days into using the device, doing a different body part each day so as to not repeat days and body parts. It boasts results in as little as two weeks, which is great because that's precisely when I will be when I will be ring announcing for ProSouth Wrestling again. I...

'We could twin!': The best reaction I could've every hoped for

Ya know, I kind of suck at keeping a blog. Going to make it a point to do at least one per week going forward, a lofty goal for my OCD self.... So I guess some update: The kids now know... and are so supportive!!!! The youngest has known for a long while. She needed to as she was struggling with her own very young identity. The middle one - I trusted his mom's judgement. And then there's the oldest, the one that scared me the absolute most.  I once wrote that I believed she was outright anti-trans. And maybe at that time she was. She is a devout Christian, growing daily in her faith and her relationship with God. And while I'm unbelievably supportive of her developing and flourishing that relationship, I can't say it didn't worry me. Christians and LGBT people don't typically mix. "I'm going to ask you a very simple question, and you can answer just 'yes' or 'no.,'" "Okay." "Do you know and just don't know what or...

'Taxation Without Representation': The death of the United States

Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images I'm a student of history. As a young woman in school, history was always the one class - with the exception of art and computer sciences - that I typically excelled at. One of the primary grievances the American Colonists had with England in the lead-up to the American Revolution was that they had no representation in the British government. Instead, they were ruled by a monarch half a world away. As I continue to digest everything that happened yesterday in Washington, D.C., I'm reminded of those words and how the colonists in the 1700's felt they were not represented by the government under which they lived. There are many things - if not outright all of them - that I strongly disagree with from yesterday, but I'm going to try (and fail) to focus on just one. In an email delivered to the White House press pool yesterday just prior to Mr. Trump taking the oath of office, this was at the bottom of a long list of "Day One" prio...
