As I am learning in my transgender voice class (at a local university), only clear the throat with an inaudable exhale, as clearing the throat does hurt it. They reccomend swallowing instead.

Coughing is another thing I have worked on. If I start to have a coughing fit, I use a small bottle of breath freshener spray and it seems to clear the need to cough most times.
I always try to blow out as much air as I can before I sneeze, not let it all come out in the sneeze. I would love to get the cutist little "cha" sneeze, that a lady friend of mine has, instead of...
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Sarah. Do allow the greiving to come whenever it comes. My Angel passed two years ago this month and hearing of your loss brings greiving back into my heart. In a...
From what you are saying, it sounds like you don't believe SO's have a right to not accept CD'ing. I think that is the wrong foot to start off on when trying to work out a relationship. I think the...
I think you are getting closer when you say "I am now agreeing with others, who say, that "I am damaged" not my male side or female side."
Also, don't call yourself "damaged goods". YOU are not...
Go to your wife and tell her you will take her up on her request. Let her know you accept every little bit she can give you and let her feel good about however much support she is able to give. I...
Leslie, in your last two posts you have mentioned several things that you are doing to help ease the situation. Has your wife said anything about taking a step toward you. For you to continue to feel...
Marleena, in general it seems this is another tiny bit of evidence that society is crossing a tipping point in accepting crossgender expression in the mainstream, in spite of it being a panty "net"....
Amber, it sounds like you did the best you could. As someone else mentioned, it doesn't matter who she was or what she was wearing, she was disturbing the peace, period and should face consequences....
Lorileah, you know what I am finding out now that it's been over a year since my Angel passed? The first year everything was surreal, kind of dreamstate. Now my grief sometimes feels deeper. Not as...
Spoken like a GG who sees the world through lovely, non-biased eyes. I know you have corrected me a few times on this very subject.
That is wonderful Starr! You are going to have a blast with it. Even just going to the stylist and have her work with it is such a wonderful feeling. I've been going to one for over 3 years now....
I think the wize answer, given in many threads like this one, is to never out someone, whether TS or CD, nor ask them to out themselves. When interacting with someone who I think may be trans, I...
Great suggestion, Sally!
A close gg friend of my has that cute, held in, sneeze, but otherwize she is very much a tomboy in her 50's. I always heard that it wasn't healthy to hold a sneeze in, that suppressing it in that way...
That is great Kellianne! Before long you will be a regular and it will become no big deal. You just live your life just as you want. BTW, I've always loved your Avatar!
Whenever I sign on, the first thing I check is the permission groups I'm in and then forums like Loved ones and then my past posts to see if there has been any responses I need to address. Finally I...
You are awesome Lori. I have nothing but respect for you and I love it that there are so many here that stand up for you like family.
Sara, I agree with your points about listening to safety advice and having a "just do it" attitude, but as in any brand new venture in life, it does take courage to take that first step to be...
Even more courageous than "diving in with little or no fear", is to dive in when you are TERRIFIED.
I'm sorry Donna. :sad: As was mentioned before, maybe a new best friend needs you now, too.
Don't leave us hanging, what is the rest of the story? :D
OK, here is the theme song for all you auto haters, by Jerry Reed about the smok'in, chok'in automobile:
"Well if you're one of the millions who own one of them
Gas drinkin' piston clinkin' air...
Oh how wonderful for you Leslie! You took the risk, jumped at the opportunity and came away a winner and made a beautiful connection with another TG person!
