"Correct mode for females?"

That had GOT to be one of the most hypocritical things a CD could ever say.

If we seek the freedom to express our inner selves in ways not considered "appropriate"...

Those of us that have a femme side to their personalities will never really be female, but we derive some comfort from expressing that inner femininity in whatever ways we are able. Part of that...

I don't know if you're seeing a therapist, Jillian, bit it sounds to me as if she needs it more than you do.

What you're relating to us sounds like it's on the road to paranoia.

Let's say you...

It's fairly common to "throw yourself into" new things, and a relationship is no different. Chances are, when you start going out with a new girl, cross-dressing isn't the only thing you lose...

Oddly enough, once my daughters both knew and had no issues, it made things easier for my wife. First of all, she has someone to talk to when she thinks she's losing it and doesn't want to discuss...

No one has ever assisted in my dressing. I've often dreamed of having my wife be accepting enough to even put polish on my nails, let alone zip up a dress, hook my bra, or help me with my makeup. ...

Susan, If your wife has been threatening to tell your children, you should tell them yourself. If it was me, i wouldn't even mention my plans to her first, since she's obviously trying to be...

I've been shaving my underarms since 1999, while on an asian business trip. The first time i shaved them, i was in Taipei. :) They'd been itching me for some reason, so i used it as an excuse. ...

It's still a new thing to them. I have two daughters. My oldest (age 21) found out by accident last July, and i came out to my youngest (age 17) In October. Both had attitudes of, "Oh, okay. No...

If it's just "look like," i'll take Sandra Bullock, because some of her features, particularly her strong chin, make a passable male presentation possible.

If it's being a woman we're talking...

Six months or so ago, my therapist gave me some materials on autogynephilia, for me to peruse and see if i felt any of it described me.

As i read through it, i thought, "What in blazes are they...

I'm not particularly worried about it. The only three people who matter (my wife and daughters,) already know. Honestly, i couldn't care less what anyone else thinks.

I hope i live long enough...

OMG Karen! You're like no nun i ever saw in CCD classes... Wowee!

:heehee:

I'll bet #1 would have been a nightmare. My mom was/is a little tightly wound.

#2... depends on where it happened, i guess. At home in private, i might have been a little freaked at first, but...

I used to, but i'm doing better at that now. I've come a long way in the past 18 months or so. Depression still rears its ugly head from time to time, but it's been a lot less since i came out to...

Hehe... 57% Femme, 43% Masculine.

Funny. Every test i take comes up almost exactly the same.

Hi, I'm Bobbi, and i'm a girly-man. :heehee:

i'd love for there to be mention of the groups i've taken part in, but like Tracy, if i go first (and i probably will,) i doubt my wishes will be honored either.

So hopefully, i'll make a bunch...

My friend needed to see a psychiatrist because she was also suffering from clinical depression and needed a doctor in order to be prescribed antidepressants. The term "diagnosis" was hers, not mine....

Unfortunately, how i present myself is pretty important to my wife, and i presume also to my employer.

I have a friend that has been recently diagnosed as transsexual. Not long ago, she went out...

Germaine Greer's ignorance regarding sexuality is staggeringly profound.

Her nonsensical diatribe on transsexuals disappearing overnight if uterus and ovaries transplants were a mandatory part...

In my "New Member Introduction," i mentioned that in the past year, i've learned that i'm not exactly in the classic CD category. Below is the story of when my therapist and i first started to nail...

I thought i might add my first time "out" to the collection, though i'm not sure how "out" it really was, since my destination was a Tri-Ess meeting. :) This was written in late July of 2008.
...

I'd explain to my younger self why he cuts up his underwear to look revealing, why his cutoff jeans needed to be as short as hotpants, why he was so fascinated in the Penthouse stories about guys...

In a word, no.

Do you have to ask your husband's permission to cut your hair, trim your nails, skip putting on makeup, wear jeans or a flannel shirt? I doubt it. You get to decide what you want...

Karen! Those links are awesome! :yrtw:

Eye makeup tips from Sephora? How did you know i wanted help with my eyes? :)
