What you're describing sounds more like depression to me. Losing interest in hobbies, poor concentration, boredom, looking for things to do but not finding anything, passing time with nothing to show...

It's no big deal to get carded. Just show it. There's been a few times where I thought someone just wanted a look at the picture, but whatever. Just show it, it's not like alarms will start blaring...
Women's swimsuits aren't impossible at all for TG's, you just need to find the right one. Here's a thread I posted last year. There's a few more pics halfway down.

I have mixed feelings on this. Eehhhh, it just depends. I don't mind outing *myself* sometimes but I don't necessarily want someone to announce they clocked me either, I was annoyed by a badly...
Seems to me that it's merely a case of Genre Blindness. Kinda like how people in zombie movies have no concept of the living dead until the living dead are upon them.
Katrina, just like a building needs a proper foundation, your clothes do too. Your corset may be a nice shaper, but as your picture demonstrates it's just not going to work with everything you wear. ...
Most of society doesn't give a crap. They just want to go about their business as unfettered as you do.
How long have you lived in fear and shame, yet regret you've done nothing to change that?

Fifteen years ago my friends and I regularly used the diminutive "tranny" or "transie" to describe ourselves and each other. It was innocuous and not one of us thought it was pejorative. I'll even...
I've never served in the armed forces, but that last remark comes across as rather offensive. I can't think of a single veteran that I know who could be described as being without conscience. I...
I was housemates with a TS woman and her wife and we generally got along fine. We were already friends, had a lot in common besides being TG, and all needed housing about the same time so it made...
I think we get way hung up on what people *might* be thinking about us rather than on what they *actually* say and do. As a person with depression, this is so much easier said than done, but don't...
I have no advice on the farting shoe, but to quote an old housemate of mine: "Nothing says love like a farting shoe." I really thought I'd never have occassion to use that line, so thank you for the...
Your overarching reason for seeing a therapist isn't real clear, but that you want to talk about gender issues is. Your therapist should be able to help you better when they have a better...
Funny, I just posted the other day about a CD I knew who got implants. Here's a link what I said:
...
Exactly. His bad choices, his consequences to deal with. What infuriated me is that he used his situation as springboard to tell the world that transition is wrong for everyone. Apparently his ego is...
What right is it for me to question someone else's decision to transition or have SRS? How are any of us to know what's in someone else's head? I've heard a lot of second guessing of others and it...
If you don't want to hide your crossdressing, then don't. Obviously there are consequences for outing yourself but you might be pleasantly surprised. You certainly begin to learn who your friends...
Agreed. When I lived in Oklahoma City, we had a close knit LGBT community and most out and about transpeople that I knew there did just fine. Sure there's issues sometimes, but you can run into that...
I visit a number of Bay Area TG groups; some social and some support. I've definitely outgrown some groups and I've had bad experiences with others. Most have been adequate. Nothing is perfect but...
My wife has crossdressed on a number of occasions and I think it's a hoot. (S)he makes a very cute man!
It's good to know your own limitations but if you want people to be open minded about you,...
It's 2012 - I think most people are pretty used to piercings these days so I wouldn't worry. Don't be concerned about what others think...excepting your wife, of course.
I had mine (including...
If you can't be yourself in San Francisco then there's no place you can be! I mean, c'mon...how many places have a damn parade...JUST FOR YOU? :)
I'm a little late to this thread but like one or two others, I'll simply state that what you see is what you get. Those here who know me in person will attest to that.
I personally don't like the term passing because it implies trying to be something or someone you're not. I don't really care anymore that people know I'm a tranny - I would care if they made an...
There's a lot of people who spend waaaaayyy too much time judging other people's choices. CD's bash TS's, TS's bash CD's, and everybody picks on the fetish folks. How about live and let live for...
