Well, I am out to the world now. I decided a few months ago that it was time to come in to the light, so I chose Thanksgiving Day for the occasion.

A dear and talented friend gave me a makeover...

This may make me sound like the village idiot.

A big part of becoming feminine for me is learning to take joy in little things and small kindnesses. I am finding it a lot easier to speak and act...

YAY Tammi!

You are starting a trend.

I am planning to come out to my friends by showing up *en femme* for Thanksgiving dinner. I have a makeover scheduled for that morning so that I will...

This is posted elsewhere in fragments, but I'll reprise it here.

I started with stocking feet filled with birdseed but tired of that.

Then I picked up on Fiona's idea. After some...

This starts to get snarky. In German, an unmarried woman is a "Maedchen" (Maiden), expressed with the neuter gender. I think that the same is true in Dutch, I don't know about Swedish or Danish.

Me, too


FtMs also deserve the right to create and "brand" their own words. I say "in drab" or "en drab" for the all too many times when I cannot go out "en femme".


Good luck....

I have heard the term a number of times (sometimes "en drab") but it never struck me as pejorative. It just seems to mean not "en femme".

I was told that drag = Dressed As A Girl and drab =...

I have a close friend of many years. I decided not to tell him about myself because he is – or at least was - a self-avowed homophobe.

However, there was recently a situation in which he was...

My psychologist is a woman and I love her to bits and pieces. She is totally supportive of me.

My psychiatrist just writes my prescriptions but I have to pay him an obscene amount of money to see...

Just a general observation to throw in to the mix: Although women tend to be more nurturing than men, they also tend to be more judgmental.

Hmmmmmm

For me, teens and post-adolescents of both sexes are trouble, but only when they are in packs. As individuals they behave better. Guys are scarier than girls because they tend to be more...

I have an unusually deep voice even for a guy. I try to make it as "breathy" as possible but it's pretty hopeless.

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!

When I first heard about saline injections I asked a number of friends who are doctors and nurses about it. They were unanimous in stating that the risks are unknown but...

Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" (clear polish) works quite well for me.

Sometimes, I just have nothing to say.

Nice to see another Lady in Waiting here! :D

What ever happened to "everybody do what they want, as long as they aren't hurting anybody"?

I mean, why do we all have to be labeled and...

You go girl! I'm sure that you are stunning. I wonder whether he appreciates the lengths you go to to look good for him!

My girl told me her name. About 30 years ago, when I became aware that she exists, I went looking for her in a deep hypnotic trance. She came to me and told me that her name was "Racha-El" (this is...

Well, Jenny, although I don't agree with some of what you say, I think that you did the forum a service by starting a very lively discussion!

Again, well said, Marlena.

How many know that in the 1950s, many men (J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn and Jack Kerouac are prominent examples) had sex with other men but did not consider themselves...

Very well said, Marlena!

When you consider that we are working with at least three independent variables - sex, gender and sexuality - the spectrum gets complex indeed.

The traditional...

Just because you don’t want to talk about it any more doesn’t mean it should be locked. Many have poured their hearts out about this and lots of posts were made in a short time. So it’s about a lot...

Oh, for the days when we took words like "insane", "weird" and "degenerate" as compliments! :p



I absolutely agree.


For all I know I was always TG, even before I became aware of it....

Hey, ladies, everybody has specialized versions of what attracts them. I like women but not all women. Some people are only attracted to persons of a certain race. Some have fetishes that must...

Just a couple of more thoughts ...

Traits, sex-linked or not, inherent or learned, are still just average tendencies. There are always exceptions. Example: The population at large tends to be...
