Yeh, the earrings will get you. A few years ago, I changed back to male, made a few stops, and picked up my wife at her work for another errand. She tolerates this, but doesn't want it known or on...

I have been thankful several times for the keypad lock on my driver's side door!

In my case, it doesn't seem to be a well framed question. Like many of the others here, I can't give you some single, static figure, primarily because over the years, the very concept of gender has...
I am really sorry you have to go through this agony. I wish I could say something more comforting, but all I can do is give you a virtual hug. I know many people turn to religious leaders for...
Several nautical themes! Mine, too, as it combines my boy mode love of sailing with some of my girl mode fantasies.
I am old enough to begin disengaging from "real" life, and the fantasy requires...
Come on, Doc. Are you just poking a stick in the cage for some here? Before they lower the boom, you can see that both of us joined this forum in 2007, and I am still just a man in a dress.

Paula,
I am sorry that you have to go through this. I don't know alcoholism, but I do know shame, and how debilitating it can be. Don't beat yourself up over it. It is so easy to fall into the...
I am not ready to argue the merits or the paper quite yet, but I do wish to correct the assertions here about some graduate thesis or publish or perish grist.
This person got her MD in 1974. ...
I found this peer reviewed journal article on Autogynephilia discomfortingly persuasive, and would appreciate your thoughts on it. The author, by the way, has both academic and "street" cred, being...
As am I. Probably your problem is that you want to be too careful with your words. The more important the topic, the more some of us agonize over saying the right thing.

Well damn, now I feel embarrassed that I was joking about it. I guess we should all be sensitive to how it feels to be ostracized.

Like the others, I agree that no response at all is the best response, and is usually the most disappointing outcome for these idiots. It helps me to be charitable sometimes to realize that their...
Several people mentioned Westboro Baptist Church. I would not want to be there alone, but what a hoot it would be if, at one of their services, they suddenly found themselves outnumbered by...
There are quite a few of us, and this question comes up fairly often. Do a search on "late onset."
Back in 2008, I responded to one such thread thus:
"It was all about sexual stimulation. I can...
You will find many of us on here who started in our 50's. There is no catch up, there is just now.

Freddy,
Thanks for the comments. I have known many artists, and I certainly agree that an exploration of sensuality is a core part of their artistic identity. For some, it does seem tied to...
Identity is such a slippery concept, and yet it seems to rule our actions. In many ways, we are, and behave, as who we think we are. But there are so many dimensions of identity that we have to...
Does anyone else find this whole thing suspect? The language is deliberately provocative. He is growing breasts by some mysterious unexplained method that doesn't match any situation I have heard...
Wait. . . Are you saying that our gender is defined not by our own opinions, but by our outward appearances? Wouldn't that make gender defined by social convention, that is, the opinions of others?...
Mode
Yes, that is a good way to express it. Which "mode" do you put the machine into? But the "essence" of the machine is not in whether it is in drive or reverse, intake or exhaust, boy or...
because . . .
the world seems a better place when I am in a skirt.
My in-laws were both artists, and usually had some very nice watercolor nudes hanging in the bathrooms. In the home of an old friend, the downstairs guest restroom had one of those amusing (for me,...
Jayne,
My circumstances were very different, as I did not start cross dressing seriously until I had already been married 30 years, but I would urge you to think carefully about this, and to not...
Kaitlyn,
I don't believe any of us want to stand in your way, and I am sorry if our language has provoked you to say some harsh things that I am sure you don't really mean.
Full disclosure on my...
I am a little confused about this. Transitioning is treated differently than other changes by an individual. How is it not a unique and significant change? Even from my sympathetic CDing vantage...
