"One day," I always think to myself, "I won't be pretty enough to be a girl anymore."

It's a thought that terrifies me some days. I feel like I'm wasting my best "girl years" being poor and...

This community was invaluable to me when I was trying to come to terms with my identity. I especially appreciated having a forum specifically set aside for young CDs. The day I "aged out" of that...

Squats. But not SUPER MALE BODYBUILDER squats with huge weights on your shoulders. Try high reps with low weight or no weight except your body. You can also do squat-like exercises that incorporate...

You could always have two forms of acceptable photo ID. One "Bubba" and one "en femme."

Here in GA, you're only allowed to have one DL, of course... but GA also issues a state ID which looks very...

Kelly, I don't want to fight with you. I actually think you and I are a lot closer to agreeing on this issue than we realize, but we came at it from opposite sides, so each of us might see the other...

I never thought of it that way. You're right, though. Since worse injustices and even more senseless acts exist in this world, the widespread intolerance toward GLBTQ folks is really trivial.

You're preaching to the choir. WE know it shouldn't be a big deal to be yourself. It's a big portion of the rest of the world that is willing to ridicule us, ostracize us, and even kill us...

So... this is what I have to look forward to when I have little ones of my own?

*takes notes*

And people wonder why medical tourism to Thailand is so popular... Not that I recommend it, but sometimes I'm tempted.

I can't counsel you on your particular situation, since I am MtF and not FtM, but I am in a similar boat. I've had people get upset with me, because I do want to get a trachea shave and breast...

All you young people know that there is a section of this forum just for us, right? Use it BEFORE you "age out" of the system. :)

I don't know about the other young ones out there, but I personally have a few ideas about why you don't see more of us participating in the online community. These aren't necessarily gripes about...

Ok... I know you're not new to the internet. It's been around for quite some time now. Private messages that are only remotely related to the topic of the thread should be sent privately. Personal...

I love The Bird and the Bee!

But lately, a cheesy Disney song has really reflected how I feel:

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant...

No matter WHEN you go out, it really really helps if you have friends to go with you. Find GG or fellow CD friends who will join you on your outings. Sharing the experience enhances the joy, and...

Ideally, you get a gg or experienced cd friend to teach you. If that's not an option, look up makeup videos on Youtube or Google.

I found out about him because he told me. He was going through all of his friends and preparing to come out to some and to drop others. I was one of the ones he chose to come out to.

Don't dress yet. Put your femme clothes in a bag. Take the bag and put it on the passenger seat of the car. Drive somewhere at least thirty minutes away from where you live. Dress in the car. ...

Only YOU know your town. Only YOU know your own limits and abilities.

1. It's late, and people are self-absorbed. If you just go out and get gas the way you normally would, nobody will notice...

I found out on Friday night that a friend of mine is a crossdresser. I never would have guessed! He was surprised to find out that I am one too! Some of us do a good job of hiding it...

Mutter to yourself constantly, and when you catch them looking at you, go completely silent and stare back.

Being overly helpful and nosy with your groceries and laundry is one thing. Picking through your garbage is another thing entirely. Your neighbors have crossed the line from nosy to creepy. You...

I think you need to figure out what you are and how you feel SOON. Then you need to share that with your wife. I told my girlfriend that I AM gay... since when I am in "girl mode," I'm still...

One thing that sets "real" women apart from all of us "men in dresses" is that women have regular periods. I envy you, because you've experienced two things that are usually reserved for "real"...
