• A FUN EXPLORATION: Lessons From Charles Genevieve Louis August Andre Timothee d'Eon de Beaumont - An example of gender exploration

  Chevalier d'Eon (1728-1810) was born a man. At the time of death, there was an autopsy to determine gender despite the fact that he (she?) had lived the last 25 years as a female. He lived his (her) life as both a man (and a captain in the Dragoons) and a woman (who infiltrated Empress Elizabeth of Russia's all female Court). Some see him as the Patron Saint of Transvestites and others argue that he was never went through puberty. Either way, this was a human who as comfortable in either gender. You can read more about him at the resources below, and it's wonderful reading.

  With the Chevalier firmly in mind I give you this delicious list of things you can do to show what you have learned.... Consider this a prelude to exploring your feminine side.

• Shave only your testicles.
• Shave your ass, perineum, and sex.
• Wear Nail Polish. (Clear only counts as half.)
• Wear Women's Underthings for at least 4 hours.
• Tuck. Yourself. When ever possible- but remain tucked for a minimum of an hour.
• Wear perfume. If you are sensitive, put it on your clothes.
• Flirt like a girl. (With eye contact and smiles instead of direct conversation).
• Raise the pitch of your voice for at least an hour. (If you only do this when there is no one about to hear you, it only counts as half).
• Walk on your tippy toes (like you were wearing high heels) for at least ten minutes.
• Do the "posture walk". Put a reasonably sized hardback on your head, and walk across the room with it.
• Swish. Sway those hips, flash that wrist. (If you do this only in private, it only counts as half).
• Drink Tea. PINKY OUT. Think ladylike and demure.
