Here's a tip: Make friends with a Drag Queen. They can teach you everything you need to know about attitude, they literally are "Fearless"
I've seen more than one stare down a bully and force...
Attitude is everything! You must believe in yourself if you want to go out to the world. Others can sense your insecurity and that gives them the opening to demean you.
If you accept their...
My fondest memory was going to an alumni event as Sheren. I was the only trans person there and felt completely comfortable in my own skin, so much so that I now have an alumni (picture) ID card that...
I am no actor, so I cannot force a smile, but when I prepare for a picture, I recall a good memory or think positive thoughts to bring a true smile to my face.
It's good to see you here again.
You and several others on this board have helped me with your insights though we are all on our own unique paths. I have come to accept that some will drop off and...
Now I know I made the right decision to never marry.
As an adult, I could never accept having to "ask for permission" to do something that I wanted to.
Drag can usually be considered as "camp", satirizing the gender norm.
When one is Transgender, that becomes a threat to the norm and that makes people uneasy.
Its all fun and games, until it...
Not an expert, but I would expect questions on how you interact with others and your views on customer service and satisfaction. Expect them to ask of your specific experiences in resolving issues...
At one time I was President of the Transgender Education Assn. (a CD/TV/TS support group in Washington DC).
It was difficult keeping everyone together as each group has their own goals and needs...
Reminds me of a parable:
One day (insert the name of your favorite god/profit/shaman here) came across a woman possessed of 7 demons, and took pity on her saying "I will cast out these 7 demons" ...
I have seen these with a modification that gives the headlights big eyelashes...Too cute!
RIP Doris Day,
What I remember most about her is in a time when homophobia was mainstream, she stood up for Rock Hudson as he succumbed to AIDs. The woman had heart.
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) uses the statistic that trans people are 2x as likely to serve in the military compared to the general population (at least in the USA). You can...
The woman's natural waist is at the level of her elbows when standing straight. When you dress, your belt should be at/slightly below elbow height.
I have been working on integrating elements of my femme life with my male life. I have reduced/eliminated my body and facial hair, and now use regular skin care; albeit at 60, it is a little late...
I have no doubt. She implied an interest in some other interests as well that we never explored.
I dated a fellow Naval officer once who opened up a discussion with "I wonder what you would look like as a woman"...
I didn't take the bait. Several months later we had a BAD breakup and I can...
Perhaps you are in the wrong crowd. I have found that the LGB part of the "queer" community is more that willing to advocate for the Trans people. In the forums I participate in, it is the striking...
OK, so I'm on the spot here. Nikki is referencing a post I made in the Ageing Out thread:

I began volunteering in my femme life, building a world where everyone knows I am trans-something.
I volunteer at The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center near Annapolis (a group of geeky...
I'm no therapist, but I can say I have been there too. I feel as if I am riding a wave at times as the need to be femme takes over and becomes such a strong driver that I feel certain that...
I do try to be a bit more expressive as a lady, but I don't really "change" my voice.
I want to feel and present as natural as possible; artificially changing my voice would be self defeating. I...

If compulsive crossdressing interferes with other everyday activities and relationships, then you may have a paraphellia. Some of the pictures/posts on this site convince me that for some, dressing...
