For me it isn't about "pretty" or not. It's about being more whole in myself. Which is its own sort of attractive. Because you can attract and not be "pretty". Just as you can be "pretty" and a...

Wow... that's a really good question! I just recently added Aubrey to my name (making it Aubrey ShayLeigh Dominique) and am exceedingly comfortable with that.
But, if I had to change it and...
You have absolutely no idea how happy I am for you!!
My spouse has not taken things nearly so well... She seems to think I either have a brain tumor or have experienced a psychotic break; her...
Holy jealousy, Batman!
I wish my spouse were as understanding... I recently spent a week at "Club Med" (read "psych ward") because of the stress and strain my gender identity issues have caused...
Oh Abi! I envy you so much right now! It seems to me so rare to find a woman who understands and is accepting! I wish nothing but the best of luck and all good things for you. She sounds an...
I am a birth male, identifying as ???. and presenting as male-ish full time. I say "male-ish" because though my mannerisms and behaviors are not "effeminate" they are more "feminine" than would...
Hope,
I didn't talk about being nervous because I was too busy enjoying my moment. Besides, I have never had a problem making an ass, a fool, or a spectacle of myself. I don't have a lot of that...
Well, I can't call it courage if I never really cared what people think about me... I was always the "outsider" never fitting into the rules so they excepted me from them... My fear was much more...
So... A week later, I crawled over my fear and just took the bull by the horns... I left my house, got in my car, drove to the mall, went into the mall (through Barnes and Noble, with head held...
And another Yoda quote is apropos... "Do. Or do not... There is no try."
Easier said than done, I know...
The answer is "D", All of the above...
Um... Create sense from my existence.
Believe me when I say I have spent more time than is healthy thinking about thing like this... I have my own experiences, my own "why do I like this and not that" issues to deal with. I may not be...
Scotti,
If you look, you will find that there are GGs out there who look far worse in a dress than you do... The art of femininity (and it is an art) is to accentuate the positive and deemphasize...
Scotti,
I truly believe it is not that simple... We humans are a very complex bunch. Our experiences shape us, and then in turn we shape our experiences. Sometimes, to change a bad experience...
Right now, I don't think it's ever about the "destination", but about the journey. Once upon a time, I used to love to run. I ran for the sheer sake of running. Not to outpace anyone, not to beat...
Hah, I wish I had some answers for you Scotti... I'm seeking my own. As for the "not attracted to men, but would kinda like to be with one..." I can understand where you are coming from. Men qua...
Transsexual is not the same as transgender.
My reasoning:
Trans means across, or to cross
therefore:
"trans"gender crosses the gender boundary (CD and TV fall here as do all who...
Isha,
As an active duty individual myself let me say, thank you... Though we are in service to two different countries, you are still an inspiration. I don't think I have the honor, courage, or...
Ha Ha! "It's my sister" worked for me!
Oh, don't I know it sister... But that is the thing and the whole of the thing... Right now I am in the "state of confusion" which, of course, borders the "state of denial" and the "state of...
Talk about hate... (born of envy, I'll get over it in 25 minutes). When I left boot camp I was at 195, and I entered at 200 after losing 40 lbs. just to join. I haven't seen anything less than...
I've read this particular post a hundred times Dianne... I just now got it.
And the sad thing, this is the kind of smartalek remark I have made/would have made had it even occurred to me...
Congratulations on taking one more step into the light!
Everyone else is expendable... All the other people I told, if I had to, I could walk away from this very second and not lose a step. With the exception of my brother (who is gay and has experience...
