I'm not sure it's possible to parse the distinction in such a neat way. Not in my experience, anyway. I'm pretty sure there's some overlap between the low frequency with which I meet women and the...

Recently I've been reading some critiques of psychotherapy (such as Claude Steiner's book "Scripts People Live") that suggest that when the therapist takes this one-up position (called in...
Thanks, Allie. I agree with you that, statistically, we're drawing on a small pool of potential partners. But then, that's also true of people who have a strong identification with other stuff, such...
It may not be entirely obvious what I mean by "non-traditional," but I don't think the details matter. The details are between me and my (non-existent) partner.
The difficulty I experience is...
With respect to how a woman could feel good, I don't have a clue about that. That's why I don't feel confident -- I don't know! But I do think that's a question that should have been explored in...
It may indeed improve the odds. In my case, it hasn't improved them enough....
Here's an over-used and therefore cheesy example, but one that I feel is entirely valid: Let's suppose you're a Jew...
Whether my suspicions are true ... we'll never know. That's why I thought it would be good to do an informal survey of others' experiences. It's true that therapists have tried to help me with my...
I'm curious what experience others have had with therapists being less than supportive.
I don't mean obvious disgust and condemnation, necessarily. I think most therapists (though I'm sure not all...
I think you're probably referring to Morph Vox Pro, from Screaming Bee. Looks like it's a $39.95 Windows program that works as a plug-in for online games and instant messaging software, including...
You do need working speakers and a working mic. My Mac laptop has that stuff all built-in, so I don't even need to think about it. My PC also has built-in speakers, not sure about the mic since I...
I go through long periods when I feel that crossdressing is basically an expensive, time-consuming hobby that isolates me socially and gets in the way of other things I'd rather be doing.
Glad you're willing to give it a try! Uploading a recording is not a requirement -- part of the point of this project is just to suggest to people that they might want to try recording in the privacy...
Not sure this is the right forum for this announcement, but I don't see where else to put it. I'm sure the moderators will move it if they see the need.
Last week we were talking about developing...
Skills with presentation (which can be learned) help. That would include both the accessories -- choosing a flattering hairstyle and so on -- and how you hold yourself. There's a trick with tilting...
This morning I went out for coffee with a woman friend whom I've known for a few months. We have a certain amount in common. I was thinking of telling her about being transgendered, but wasn't sure,...
That used to happen to me, 25 years ago. Of course, I had long hair, long nails, and pierced ears, and carried a purse. The purse may be a big signal, but the nails and hair would help, I'm sure.
I love skirts, but if you go to the mall and have a look at the shoppers, you'll see maybe 1 woman in 10 (at most) wearing a skirt. Last year I bought a pair of ... I think they're called capris....
1) With my therapist's help, finally process and get rid of all those old fears that are still taking up space in my head, so that I can fully be who I am and do what I want.
2) Put together a...
One year, our school play was "Charley's Aunt." I had been in several plays, and tried out ... for nothing in particular, just any part at all. The drama teacher posted the cast on the bulletin...
There's a fence??? (Sorry ... I'm channeling Karren here.)
Ooh, now you've given me something to daydream about!
I think Audrey hit the nail on the head. It's very disturbing that people like Barney Frank, while supporting gay rights, are stabbing transgenders in the back. If we want full equality, we need to...
You really do need to talk to a good therapist in order to sort out these feelings.
From your comment about the devil tempting you, I'm thinking you may be a member of one of the conservative...
I want to know how you managed to put on the bra in the locker room without anybody noticing! Either you were alone and taking an awful chance, or you were in a locker room in San Francisco.
That brings back a memory! I read "The Christine Jorgenson Story" that way, hiding in the back of the library because I certainly wasn't going to march up to the checkout desk with it!
