For me it is both. Started out for years as a lust/ arousal thing, got worse and worse with that behavior that I sought treatment in SA and SAA 12 Step programs. Through that I surmised that was...
It's good you outed yourself. Visibility is very important for growth, for self acceptance and confidence.
I think of crossdressing and transvestites as being the same thing, just the term changing over the years? Now I am hearing the term "gender fluid" and wonder if that means the same thing? ...
Ive had just about everything, except money when I carried a purse.
Yes. I did feel women we

Yes. I did feel women were insulted and some even defeminized when I went out in public last summer. So I began to dress down quite a bit and...
How has your sleep been since that happened. Depression and anxiety?
Yes, those things do take affect.
Anywhere one can build community but no matter where. Support is necessary. I like my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico, which has excellent support for lgbt folk and a separate Trans Parade,...
More about how much guilt and shame one has. Someone might apply that to themselves when they feel like they have done something criminal. Breaking trust with one another, lying then yeah one will...
Like most will say here, honesty is the best policy. If you fear you have too much to lose then you might want to be in therapy, counseling, self or with wife for backup. I don't envy you going...
Very sorry to hear about your father Alice. That will take center stage in your life for a while, so from losing my father last weekend, I understand.

Very true noticing all this. Women have many different opinions of one another just like men. Such an individual thing. I learned that being around women doesn't mean being approved by all...
Are you on good terms with your sister to where she wouldn't use that to retaliate against you in the future?
Good you came out to your wife to disspell any affair worries.
during this month of being out of the closet I have discovered a lot of things but I think one of the most surprising is that my personality and character remains unchanged. I am still the same...
congratulations on getting out just as said you would.
My heart is with you and totally understand. Right now dealing with emotions is the most important thing so you can get on with your life. Not being able to be who we are, when we know what makes...
thanks Nikki and a hug back. I live in an LGBT friendly community, Albuquerque. yet still no one can make me do anything I have to do it all myself but if I were trying to do this and say, a place...
I have been out of the closet 3 weeks now, motivated by participating in a Trans Pride March and a Pride march but mostly by a lot of kicking in my rear. I read books like Codependents Guide to the...
That is a positive story, thanks for sharing.
I've seen, heard many stories that suggest fear of discovery over the years. Twenty years ago, in Indiana, a CD tried to outrun police for fear of being outted and drove into a tree, hospitalized...
It takes time, the more you keep going, keep exposing yourself the less weirded out you will feel but it is a roller coaster process filled with high anxiety that will reduce with repeated exposure...
Everything I read here applies, in the genes, emulating childhood hereos, being myself, to be aroused (per sex addiction), to feel feminine, to address safety and security reasons (reacting to early...
I think two suicides, including Robin Williams, impacted me the most to get off my butt. And right now with time alone am determined to give it everything I got.
