Much more comfortable and practical.
I'm 5'3". My dad and brother are average size, which is pretty much true of the men of my dad's family. The men in my mother's family were taller. As for me, I'm virtually identical in height to...
Thanks so much, Daarleane. I call this a small town myself (about 4000 people), though by some people's standards it might be a village.
I think the commonly accepted wisdom is that it's easier...
Thanks, Beverley. I'm still going forward. This week I took the big step of having my legal name changed. Taking a new name takes some getting used to. A lot of people have been calling me...
Why is that, when we find our thinking is getting us nowhere, we decide that the solution is to stop thinking rather than learning to think properly?

Kim, from what you're saying on this thread, it sounds to me like you're in much the same position I was in a few months ago. I was still in the closet and getting desperate. I thought I was going...
I have to say I haven't. Most trans-haters I've encountered (on the net) are hardly that sophisticated in their thinking. They usually content themselves with calling us "sickos", "perverts", that...
Sorry, Nikki, I don't really find much in this idea. I'd go along with Kim's analysis.
I'd add that the reason more of us are coming out now is that we can afford to. Bit by bit the human...
Spoken like a true cynic. No telling how many times in my life I've said something similar. I must be mellowing in my old age, though. A friend of mine just did me a very great service, and I left...
I'm sorry, Marleena, but you're wrong about this.
You can stop dressing, but you can't stop being trans. That is, you can stop dressing for a while. Eventually you might decide that when you stop dressing, it simply costs you too much. It's a...
Cam, my sympathies. You can't win.
Cisperson: Hey, you're a man! You can't wear a skirt!
Transperson: Oh, yes, he can! Just not like that!
Do your own thing, Cam. It's what everybody else...
Perhaps a bit of light reading--Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, for example, or Plato's later dialogues. No reason why you shouldn't come back a wiser Suzy as well as a happy one.

I'd agree with Allie on this one. (I'm not saying you're wrong, Marleena. You're never wrong.) But there is such a thing as helping others to help themselves.
I know this forum has helped me in...
APOLOGIES, people. I shouldn't have posted this this morning. I wasn't thinking. I'm going to be away for the next couple of days, and may not be able to check on this forum before Wednesday. ...
Yes, we transpeople are a part of society, though, sadly, a very small part of it. I myself would say we're different--but not negatively so, and our difference doesn't warrant the discrimination we...
My style of dressing is nothing like what most GG's these days wear. I generally wear fairly long skirts and dresses. This isn't totally without parallel. In Ireland a few women my age still dress...
Well, Sherry, I didn't think my OP would need any translating. It seems clear enough to me. But if it does, how about this:
Sometimes I find people talking about "society" in a rather curious...
Thanks, Purple.
But I take it your woman doesn't censor your posts on this forum? How does the line go? "Purple, I think this could be the start of a great friendship."
By the way,...
Yeah, except that the question had nothing to do with what I wrote. Nowhere did I say I was bothered by what society dictated to me. As a matter of fact, the drift of my post was that society...
Miki, I don't think what I've written here is particularly difficult. If you want something difficult, you can try Immanuel Kant.
What I've written would be perfectly clear to anyone who takes...
Jennifer, instead of reading just this part of my post that Reine quoted, if you read the entire post, you'll see that you've totally misconstrued my remarks here:
You've got what I said...
As a matter of fact, I didn't ask this question. Please re-read the OP.
Therefore all of this is off-topic. Please re-read the OP.
This is more to the point.
I'm trying to picture this--but I just can't quite get there.
This I can picture. But would Angelina feel threatened? Perhaps not.
Yeah, it does help to say what you mean.
Nope, that's not at all what this thread is about. Try again.
Yep, I get that. But that's not the last word on the subject. Do you get that?
As a matter of fact, I haven't noticed. ...
