I began secretly trying on some of my sister's things when I was about 12. It was pure curiosity, and I was always overcome with feelings of guilt and shame afterward. I spent a lot of time alone...
A few years ago, I experienced severe pain in my right heel, which my podiatrist diagnosed as tendonitis. He gave me a series of shots (cortisone, I believe) over a period of about 6 weeks, and...
Thanks for the clarification. I did take a look at the link to see who the organization was and to take a quick peak at the percentages you quoted, but have to admit I didn't have the time today to...
When you consider all the stereotypes of white male husbands in television commercials over the years, white men have certainly been the butt of a lot of jokes. Also, worldwide white people are a...
This was my argument whenever I argued against including CD as part of a "TG umbrella", although I don't recall ever referring to the misunderstanding as "hate". I simply don't like the fact I...
"Laughter is the best medicine." - various sources, "Let a smile be your umbrella." - Irving Kahal and Francis Wheeler. The internet is full of quotes about laughter and humour, and I did a quick...
This thread has morphed into a fairly intelligent discussion of some of the differences that exist between various factions within the community. I think we can all learn from it. Please don't...
A MtF transsexual is a genetic male who feels, thinks and believes that he is a woman, or should be one. A MtF crossdresser is a genetic male who feels, knows and enjoys the fact that he is a man,...
I know nothing of your personal background or your mother's circumstances, but it has no bearing on my contention that male privilege is a myth. Men can also be single parents. I lost my first wife...
Two simple reasons. When you are enjoying yourself, such as on a vacation, there is usually a sadness about it coming to an end. Secondly, the focus of such events has increasingly become about...
Yeah, but my dad coulda beat your dad.:)
Crossdressing is often not the actual problem in these situations. It is simply the easiest thing for a wife to vent about without addressing what is really bothering her. You say you are 68, and...
As Vickie said, there is no correlation between how you look, and how often you want to dress up. Looks may discourage you from venturing out, or conversely may be an encouragement, but otherwise I...
I was using TG in that post, in the sense that the media and increasingly the public appear to be using it these days. They are using it as being synonymous with transsexual, whereas I have always...
I did not weigh in on the recent discussion about being left behind, because the OP seemed so all inclusive that after several readings I was having difficulty fitting my thoughts into a concise...
I disagree with some of your assertions, and feel that others are an elaboration on my contentions. I stated that "Clothing standards are socially determined and are in a state of constant change." ...
The differences between male and female brain development have been well documented over the years. However, I don't think it has much to do with how we want to dress. Clothing standards are...
Well said. There is no correct answer to the question and the opening post did not ask for one. She specifically said "how y'all classify ...." and "In my case I would call it ....." The intention...
There is an annual event about a three hour drive from where I live. The first time I attended, was my first time out among other people. My wife went with me and stayed at the hotel, but did not...
A compulsive hobby for me. There are twelve step programs to help with addictions, but I have never heard of anything like that for crossdressing. An addiction controls you; not the other way...
I don't approve of rude or snarky remarks under any circumstances, but maybe, just a little maybe perhaps, she misread your greeting and thought you were trying to make a move on her and she was...
Almost my entire crossdressing life (over 60 years now) has been one of inching that envelope a bit more. From searching my older sister's room in my early teen years, to see what her bras looked...
Claire Cook and Beverley Sims are correct in that paranoia is not the proper word to use for your concerns. Paranoia is a serious mental condition involving delusions and unjustified mistrust of...
In the washroom debate, too much is made of the safety angle, sexual misconduct, racism, sexism, etc. The issue is simply the discomfort of many people about sharing facilities with the opposite...
I, personally, had never thought about a possible link between PC and Marxism, but when I began to research the subject, many writers, such as the one I quoted have argued that they have similar...
