Hi Lexi,
A word from an older CD and now transitioned TG; IMHO, the desire to dress never goes away. Transition is another VERY personal choice and is different for everyone. If you are into the...

Hi Lexi,

Hands down, Kohl's is my favorite store. In fact I was there yesterday and bought 3 tops and a sport bra. My shopping has slowed down, I am running out of storage space...;-)

A good thread, most of the fears we have are inside our heads. I too worried about letting the sales people know I was buying for myself, but that was a LONG time ago. Now if I want to try on an item...
To all our "older" friends, enjoy yourselves while you still can. I'm 67 and enjoy dressing, mostly in plain-fem, on a regular basis. My wife and I get the greeting of "hello ladies..." more often...
I was out in my yard walking my dog the other day wearing a plain pullover top, a denim skirt, and my normal jewelery. My neighbor called a "hello" from across her yard and then came over to the...
My wife tells me I look like my mother when I am dressed.
Not exactly the look I was going for but I suppose there is a good genetic reason for the similarity.
Just being me,

My new passport has me in long hair and hoop earrings.
Does this count?
Having fun,

Christine,
My very best wishes to you for a full recovery at the soonest date.
Take good care of yourself.

I live within the "mid Atlantic corridor" but have a fairly-rural location; see my post on foxes in my yard. The neighbors are well away from the house and so they are not much of an issue. As long...
At least in what I refer to as 'plain-femme' mode. Jeans and tops are pretty andro but the earrings and hair and sometimes nail polish add a nice touch. Presenting as 'fem' doesn't mean an evening...
This thread is from the FTM side and is perfectly (IMHO) suited to the concept of "little boxes". Very well done and I love it; enjoy.

I am growing my hair long, it is now down below my shoulders. I however am 'blessed' with a full head of hair so MPB is not an issue. Long hair is more of a problem and requires more care but it is...
College students are generally regarded as being more 'socially progressive' than their older relatives and parents. Just look at any of the other "civil movements" to see this effect. GLBT...
Part of my motivation to go out dressed is freedom of self-expression. It falls under the "basic civil rights" umbrella. I don't dress in fancy-fem clothing, more like the average "soccer mom (or...
In any community there is suspicion, or outright hostility, incurred by being "out of the mainstream". Just look how someone in a turban is regarded in a small town or how (religious or ethnic...
Unfortunately the "other side" feels that the Bill of Rights is out of date, except for #2. Tolerance is not a word in their vocabulary.
Sigh,

I'd suggest Yoga or Tai Chi or those sorts of exercise regimes (full disclosure: I'm a recent YOGA convert). They are great for balance and strength without leading to the 'bulk' that other exercise...
Hi Deimos,
I read this section sometimes and noticed your question, and apparent concern, regarding getting you tubes tied. My wife, a GG, had hers tied almost 35 years ago now and has had no side...
The reactions by your SO are not too unfamiliar to me. A few random thoughts:
Everyone wants some "private things", these may not be obvious to others so you need to be careful of these items of...
If you don't have any breast tissue to support then the bra is optional. However if there is breast development, and especially if it is sensitive or tender due to HRT, then a bra is likely...
Your story brought tears to my eyes.
I also asked my wife to read it and she was touched. So much wisdom in the older lady's comments; most of it derived from painful experience no doubt.
Thanks...
The variation in feminine clothing sizes is the stuff of legend; and usually drives GGs absolutely bonkers. Trying things on before you buy is about the only way to find well-fitting clothing.

Thanks for starting it Cheryl Ann. I too am one of the "seniors"; I'll be 67 next month. I came "out" to my wife almost 2 years ago and after a bit of a rough patch all is pretty smooth now and she...
I have been going out dressed in plain feminine clothing (jeans and tops) for almost 2 years now and very rarely has anyone even noticed. When I started I was "worried" about how others would react...
About 2 years ago I decided to let my hair grow; from a buzz cut. It is now below my shoulder blades and I like it. It is white with "tan" highlights and it has curls too. I expected white but not...
