Before my wife knew about Linnea, I would compliment her in ways that sometimes sent her antennae up. Sometimes she gave me a funny look; sometimes she asked how I would know about particular...

That must be a wonderful feeling; and what a good friend--you're very lucky!
Interesting video and one that references this forum too! Thank you for letting us know.
You could ask the same why-question about a lot of things that you do. I could ask why do I go on hikes; my answer would be that I don't really know. But I keep going on them, even though sometimes...
I say, let it go (unless you want to resume your relationship with your EX).
I enjoy watching ballet and other forms of performance dance, but I have not tried it. I think that it's great that you enjoy it.
In a full transition MtF, the male you dies and the female you lives. For those who do this, there is excitement (and difficulty) in the new life. Others who lived with and loved the male, often...
The tried and true way, as my therapist says, is to eat less and exercise more. The gut itself can probably be reduced--along wit ELEM--with ab work-out that are high repetitions, not real...
Like Lisa Smith, "I just want to be one of the girls. I want to be able to go out and be the woman I would have been if I had been born a woman."
I'm en femme regularly 24/2; on a few occasions, it's 24/4: I'm most comfortable en femme and want to be 24/7. In another year, I think that I will have made enough of a transition to do that. A...
I wish that I knew that my mother knew; alas, she died quite a few years ago. I don't think that she knew, but next month I'm going to talk to and tell my older brother. If my mother knew, it's a...
The key difference is a medical degree. With either one, seek special knowledge, understanding, and experience with transgender issues.
I think of it as a matter of complete expression. My therapist calls it "congruence." Either way it's about fully expressing the way I feel. As far as wearing items that can't be seen, the same...
This is a rule that I would suggest that you work with your wife to revise. There is no way to deal with problems, concerns, issues, whatever when the rule is that you don't talk about the issue. ...
My GP is a woman whom I have gone to for about ten years; I have not disclosed my CDing to her. I don't think that she knows nor do I think that she would care if I told her. As I go farther on my...
Two years ago I told my grown children (ages 38, 36, and 29 at the time). They were surprised and amazed that I had kept the secret so long and so well. My daughter and the youngest had a load of...
Of course, it starts growing back right away, but some areas, especially on the legs, are rubbed bare and other areas grow unevenly--it seems uneven because hair grows in cycles. If you want your...
I just saw this and most of what I would have said (and a lot more) has already been expressed; I think that fear based on ignorance is what drives most non-accepting people's reactions. It's...
I love Pleasures, "Delight," but it's undoubtedly not masculine; however it is pretty light and I can get away with it if I'm out and about but not in my office.
The Shiseido ZEN description appeals...
Ebay, no way! I want to shop for my girly things in person whenever possible. It's fun and the results are much better even if I'm alone as I do it. the sales people are seldom negative in any...
I don't think that it is cheating or wrong or evil or any other negative; it's just life for TG/full or nearly full-time CD people. As 5150 Girl, sometimes you just have to participate in a...
I don't know that I have. I've met some for coffee or shopping, but I've never just run into any--as far as I know. Like those whom I haven't run into, when I'm out, I just want to blend in (not...
I think that Sherrie's point hits a big part of the reason; a woman friend of mine who was visiting San Francisco went to a small grocery store one morning. She wanted coffee and a sweet roll. The...
Of the options listed, I say "2." There are a lot of other looks that I like.
I found a therapist in very similar way, and it has been wonderful--definitely the right thing to do. Mine is well-versed in gender issues and has helped me to disclose my transgenderism to my...
