As others who have or are transitioning have said, it is not so much a factor of being brave. It is a matter of need. I need to transition, there is a much greater risk in my NOT transitioning than...
One thing you can do is go to the "Psychology Today" magazine website, they have a therapist locator. It allows you to put in what you are looking for, including transgender specialities. It allows...
Something similar happened to me recently. I had requested a month off for my FFS, all vacation requests for longer than two weeks have to be approved by the manager. I told him it was so that I...
I see I am not the only Vette girl here. I have a 2003 50th Anniversary edition, black and red. I love it, as I tell people, it is the only thing that keeps me sane some days. Of course it is a very...
I suppose it depends on what kind of work you do, and what kind of weather you want. I am living in the DFW, Texas area and have found it surprisingly easy for me while I am transitioning. I am out...
I agree with the others, you handled the situation as well as was possible. The mental child who started it either needs therapy or some time sober, and no I would not class them as trans. I suspect...
Lori,
The best thing I can say here is, consider the source. From your description, she sounds like a low class, white/trailer trash type, if you are worried about the opinion of people like that,...
How do you know that you are going to get a ticket? If the strobe light went off, it may be nothing. Those sensors are set at very high sensitivity, so they get a lot of false readings. That is why...
Hip Hip Hooray for you Kim. I keep telling people that every time we change our way of lives, even a little, because of terrorists, or crazies, or someone, then we have lost and they have won. So,...
LOL, I love it. A friend who taught stained glass and jewelery making, taught me foil technique 30 years ago. No, it is not the traditional lead came technique, which is a huge pain to do properly,...
I love your flower, never tried anything like it. I used to do maile (chainmail is technically incorrect) and made myself a shirt, belt, and coif. I no longer do the medieval recreation stuff so I...
A great moment for you, and I hope you bought the dress, it looks lovely on you..........Stephanie
Yes, I do see a bit of a divide in the TG world, actually several. You have the divison between the CDs and the Trans folk, i.e. those who present as the opposite gender for more than clothing...
Many years ago, I was involved with a lifestyle Domme, i.e. she wasn't in it for the money. We had some fun times, though none including dressing. I think she would have been OK with it, but I wasn't...
I have to agree with the others here, unless you are a truely fantastic actress, you will get read, and you will get laughed at, especially by teenagers. The first time I seriously went out (as in a...
When I got mine done about 6 months ago, they told me to not change them for 6 weeks and always wear an earring for at least 6 months. I have had no problems with them, in fact I have a bit of an...
I'm sorry Diedre, sending prayers for you..........Stephanie
The best thing I can tell you is, ask your doctor. This doctor has probably heard the same question from CDs before, and if not, so what. It won't hurt to ask, they won't betray you, and it will give...
Jill, I have been going to voice therapy for about 5 months now, just to feminize my voice. Sorry to tell you, but it is not easy to develop a feminine voice overnight. Aside from pitch (how high...
Basically what everyone else has said goes for me too. You are a CD, for whatever reason you dress. That may or may not evolve into something else, it sure did for me, and many others here. Now,...
I got mine done for my birthday last year, and have become something of an earring fanatic. I have gotten a few comments at work, all of them joking, of course they also comment on my manicure and my...
One time I was visiting my favorite shoe store, trying on some pumps, in drab. An older woman came in looking for shoes in a larger size for her daughter, complaining that the crossdressers had...
Crystal, one thing which you do not mention (or maybe I missed it) is whether you are still in the military. If you are still in, it probably would be a violation of regulations for you to wear the...
What part of Texas are ya in Darlin? I am in the DFW area and have it OK. There is some teasing about being a Yankee but it is mostly in fun. The resources here for the T community are OK, sometimes...
