Please keep in mind that Tessa speaks for herself, and perhaps some young TG women she has known in her regional socioeconomic group.
She does NOT speak for all trans females (not even all young...
Yes, I'm quite sure. :)
I have no doubt that every conceivable human activity can be related in some way to crossdressing, but I never said anything to the contrary. That wasn't your question at...
If you identify as a woman and you have transitioned (or are transitioning) to living as a woman, then no, you aren't crossdressing. It seems pretty simple to me -- it isn't "crossdressing" for a...
I have several lesbian girlfriends that have been or are in relationships with trans guys. Now, these are all women that are normally attracted to butch women, but some of them have had multi-year...
Getting some sugar daddy to buy you trinkets places you in a dependent role, compared to the man with actual real world power and income. Kept women hardly rule the world, and the trinkets they...
Is it? You often assert this, but there are other CDs who adamantly maintain that they have no need or desire to be a woman, even in part, even in fantasy. I've seen a lot of motivations for...
Comparing the trans male sections here with the CD-dominated MTF sections is pointless. Most of the trans guys here are transitioning (or have already transitioned). If you must compare these...
Just FYI...
The phrase "lipstick lesbians" has at various times been used to describe:
1) Feminine women who are attracted to other feminine women.
2) Female models and actresses (many of them...
You can also easily turn off a gay woman by implying she's a lipstick lesbian. It's a mostly antequated term rarely used by queer women outside the LA scene, and it has negative connotations to a...
I have to admit that it bothers me when male-identified people appropriate the word lesbian. However, you certainly don't need to be post-op to be lesbian. If you identify as a woman and you want...
I don't know. I've lived with people for months without them knowing, or worked closely with them for more than a year, or gone with them to a water park wearing a string bikini, or whatever. I...
That's not really accurate, IMO. There are plenty of TS women who transitioned in their late 20s, 30s, even 40s who are totally passable. Some of us live perfectly normal lives, with everyone we...
In defense of these women, they were probably just confused as to how you wished to be addressed. You didn't describe how you were presenting at the time, but not everyone that presents...
I've known multiple trans males who majored in Women's Studies, so this doesn't seem too surprising to me. I also know a trans female majoring in it.
Women's Studies casts a critical eye upon...
I'm not sure what you mean by "pure girly-ness", but the feminist in me forces me to respond. :)
Personally, I feel I'm close enough to 100% female that the difference is meaningless. I never...
My guess is that the visual effect of "just thin arm hair a bit" and "just thinned my eyebrows a little" is a lot less subtle than she thinks. The effect of shaping eyebrows can be very pronounced,...
I'm a post-op trans female with quite a few years of experience full-time myself. I'm also a gay woman (i.e. lesbian), and I've found that for the most part, the only people who use the phrase "the...
The word "passing" has a history predating contemporary gender issues -- for instance, it was historically used to describe a light-skinned African-American person passing as white. It did not mean...
You should not "disregard what you believe in for the sake your your relationship", but that's kind of black-and-white thinking. Relationships involve negotiation and compromise. There are some...
Being a "real woman" is more than having periods and childbirth, but thanks for perpetuating the ancient view of women as creatures born to bleed and breed.
In any case, you are right that no...
I think the accuracy of that statement depends on the definition you are using of "TS". Not everyone defines being TS as being synonymous with simply having some gender dysphoria .
This is from...
Surgery is expensive (though no more than a compact car, if all you need is SRS). But that can come later, if necessary.
In the meantime, the sooner you start HRT the better. You are still young...
People post in this forum all the time about males and females who are interested in males who crossdress. Why is a female being interested in a female who crossdresses any more unusual?
Not that...
You know, to some degree everyone is right and labels are irrelevant. OTOH, some "labels" represent meaningful concepts that need to be explored. For instance, it is pretty important to determine...
