Very good list. I have been on the forum a while, and I had always tried to learn from older members, and take the advice older members had to offer, and I think 1, 2, 3 & 6 are the most important...
Gaming. Either tabletop gaming or PC gaming.
I have come to realize recently, that the distinction isn't "transsexual" or "crossdresser". Transgender is a spectrum in which both fall on, but they aren't the only 2 options. And certainly, I am...
My attitude on purging is this: generally, we go back to it. So put it in a box and out of sight/out of mind, and if/when the need returns, you aren't starting from scratch and spending more money,...
We all dress to different levels and for different reasons, all our own. I don't really think it matters why or how it was decided or discovered. Drag Queens make a choice to crossdress, one could...
Interesting perspective, and I totally understand where you are coming from. My therapist has done a lot of research in the transgender field specifically. She said from her research, a lot of CDs or...
For the most part, no. But it is something I am making a conscious effort on. My therapist recommends I try to take on more feminine mannerisms while in guy mode.
This sentence is what really struck me, because it is basically the same thing my girlfriend said to me shortly after I told her. I said "aren't partners supposed to be best friends? And you say you...
I've only really been out in public dressed a few times. The first time, I was downtown for Pride. Had to stop in at a store on my way to buy socks, because my shoes ripped the skin from the back of...
I think most of us at some point or another swing back and forth between masculinity and femininity. How far in either direction we go varies, as does the frequency, but whatever makes you happy, go...
That is awesome. I would love to have the space for something like that. Alas, still renting an apartment.
Talking will definitely be important, and I am sure there will be an abundance of that in your near future. Honesty is probably your best bet now. She will probably be hurt that you hid it for so...
Welcome to the board. It is a great place to start exploring and learning, and sharing.
With crossdressing though, there isn't necessary a right or wrong way to do things. It is all about finding...
I told my girlfriend somewhere in our first 4 or 5 dates. I don't regret telling her when I did. Things still haven't been easy or smooth sailing, but it was better that it was on the table from...
That is how I felt too. Not that everyone isn't different, but I had basically stopped under dressing when I started fully dressing. Then when my girlfriend was uncomfortable with everything else, I...
I am currently in the process of attempting to join a local trans support group as well, at the suggestion of my therapist. All I know is they have a social once a months, a potluck once a month, and...
A lot of these are things I am currently trying to tackle, and some are things I have already dealt with.
As for it not going away, that was something I accepted a long time ago. I purged once...
My social circles have often been made up of those 5+ years older than me. The field in which I work, I am also the youngest in my departments (current, and old department) by 5 years (The next...
Thank you for sharing, Isha.
As someone who just started therapy a few months ago, I find it interesting to see where it could potentially lead. I used to be far more comfortable with myself, but...
I have been inactive for a while. It has been complicated. But I am hoping I can be a bit more active now. 28 here, but I have been a member here for quite some time.
Exactly, well said.
I think that generally, younger people are more accepting today, but it is not a hard & fast rule. There are still plenty of people who aren't accepting.
I am single, so I can't say for sure yet,...
There is a young member's section for everyone 18-25. May wanna consider joining it if you're looking for people around your own age.
If there are any such services available, I haven't seen or heard of them here.
Well said. Having fantasies is one thing, but I realize that the reality wouldn't be anywhere near enjoyable. Therefore, not something I would do.
