I think a lot of women like to see a guy in drag. Men so rarely validate femininity, and to do so in the open view of others requires bravery. Femininity is devalued in this culture (in men AND...

When people have asked me "what's with your nails" I play dumb and say "Oh, I painted them, you can't tell?" If hey ask why I say "Because I like it."

These answer seem to annoy them as much as...

Yes! The beard shadow is the worst.

Because you want details, dholleyjr, you need an extremely close shave to have a shot at passing (because beard shadow is a dead-givaway), and even then, skin...

Not that it really matters, because every workplace is different, but I've done so, off-duty and on Halloween. I'm completely out at work. But again, I don't work construction, I work in a liberal...

Yes! Gossip-mongering is an excersize in power. You can build and destroy reputations with gossip, you can make people fear you by turning others against your enemies.

Ask a middle school girl...

Have you told the guy he's being gossipped about? There probably is a way to defend him without having to out yourself. And even if you did get outed, between the two of you, and a hundred other...

They do. They're boys.

Top coat works in a pinch too. It liquids up dry polish.

Hoo boy. Confused, the urge is gonna follow you. It may ebb, but it'll flow right back, and with a vengeance. If you're trans, you're trans for life, usually. And your lady should know that too....

And when guys do notice, they often don't comment, and when they do comment, the comment doesn't say much.

When I painted my nails bright red, it was unmissable. All of my female coworkers...

I work at a register sometimes in a store and an area that's teeming with young women. This gives me plenty of opportunities to small talk, and I'll sometimes comment on an article, and more rarely...

I don't suppose the poll could be done with checkboxes instead of radio buttons? A few of those are true for me.

I hear sometimes about compromises some transies make with their partners that I just know I couldn't do without suffering. Sometimes posts are pointed out to me where the trans partner gives...

A lot of them, actually. There are women out there too that are almost more of an exaggerated "drag queen" sort of feminine, but you usually don't notice too much. Think Samantha from sex in the...

They do. Ask a woman. Any one of 'em. Feminism has made everyone aware of the problems women face. Unfortunately, it has also made it taboo to complain about being a man.

Having to be tough,...

SHe didn't say it was wrong, she says it does the cause harm, and I'm not sure I disagree.

I guess it comes down to this: are you flaunting a fetish? Because generally folks are don't want to...

Wow, I can see the line of trannies desperate for a job at the shoe store an nail salon. I'd be the first in line: "No, man, I HAVE to wear this polish. Company policy!"

How about "God, I hate these pantyhose. Why do I have to wear them?"

At the risk of making everyone self conscious about their bodies, when you're looking to read a person, to tell if they're CD (or TS) what tell-tale signs do you look for? Which ones jump out at...

I liked it, partly because I took joy in her suffering. I've heard so often that men have it easy, and I've certainly never felt that way. Sure, there's male privilege, but it comes at a price (I'd...

Crossdressers (CDers) are no more likely than anyone else to be child molesters, or anything like that. Really, that your father crossdresses probably doesn't have anything to do with how he is...

Joy, the Japanese have been our allies for like 50 years now. And besides, judging the entire race? That's racism. Chill.

Did anyone else have trouble getting those genderlife videos to play? I install the DVD@ccess program like they say, then I get a file not found message.

Personally, I'd have no problem with people at work knowing. I'd happily make myself an example, just to get that many more people to think about tranny issues, and perhaps to convert a few more to...

Straight + gay = Stray? Maybe you're a stray couple :)
