Mike,
I honestly agree with those who have said you should go see a gender therapist. Yes, one who has lots of experience with transgender people, and who can help you to figure this stuff out. ...
I identify as female. I am a woman. I am not an other, not an it, not queer. I support non-binary people, and the idea of having an "O" on documents for those who identify as neither male nor...
My boyfriend is a transman. He and I have been dating for over a year!!!
Yes perfectly said. Both men and women scan women, for different reasons. No one scans men, except for maybe gay...
This is a spin off of another existing thread "FTM Transgender" - http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?229966-FTM-transgender
The question is, why do FTM transgender pass better...
Great response Paula.
Clothes:
Transwomen can be perceived as men in dresses, which is dangerous and stigmatized, but accepting people recognize us as transwomen and treat us accordingly.

I just watched a clip of the interview and some commentary.

I want to say that I am really proud of you Caitlyn for standing up for the trans...
Paula, thank you for this thread. It's really great informative thread on the true nature of "autogynephilia."
I have a few thoughts myself. The very fact that women masturbate and fantasize...
Thank you Melissa and Suzanne!!! Very well said.
Caitlyn's coming out has made us more visible to the world. People now know what being transgender is all about, and are aware that we exist and...
Very true. Models are usually tall, and tall women (even if they're not models) are usually attractive. Being tall also gives you another huge advantage. We have more clothing options than short...
Isha, I am very proud of you and very happy for you!!! This is a huge step forward. I'm glad your co-workers were polite and respectful. I look hearing more about your gender journey.
Paula, very well said.
I believe the higher up you were on the male hierarchy the worse your friends reactions will be when you come out to them as transgender.
Transwomen who were kick-ass...
If the sisters tell the story, and the story is to be believed, people will laugh at the entire family. After all, the parents are the ones who dressed him this way. The world will laugh at the...
I am a woman who was assigned male at birth. I am very, very feminine, and I love wearing dresses and makeup. I am very feminine by personality too, very sweet, and very smart, and very high tech. ...

I agree and disagree that Jenner has not changed the minds of others on transgenderism. It honestly depends on a lot of factors. At my TG support group last night, the entire hour...
I am TS who started off thinking that I was a CD. I agree with Paula and Suzanne. This is a starting point, and opens up the doors for changing our understanding of gender.
Yes, I agree. ...
This isn't a competition. This isn't a race to see how far you can go. It is part of who you are. It will never go away. Your desire to CD will continue to grow and persist for the rest of your...
I'm TS, but I much of this applies to someone who is transitioning to live full-time as a woman. We make the same mistakes too.
Mistake Numero Uno. Buying a wig online without ever trying it on....
Very well said Paula!!! We have many layers in our lives, and we peel each layer away to find out what is preventing us from living life to the fullest. For me there are at least four major layers....
@Crossdrezzer1
I'm sorry to hear about your wife's reaction. You did the right thing by telling her that this is a fetish and that you won't transition. This is a common fear that wives of CDers...
People come and go. Personally I used to post regularly throughout the end of 2014, and then life got busy and I just have't had time in the recent months. I've been sick with bronchitis, taking...
Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Women think men have it easier, and men think women have it easier. We often think how things were much nicer in the "good old days." Many...
Thank you for your responses. I see a lot of us have never heard of Movember. Movember is a men's health fundraising organization which challenges men every November to grow a mustache for a whole...
Two years ago I was really searching for answers on my gender identity. My gender dysphoria had reached a point where I wanted to die, and the psychic that I used to consult just turned a blind eye....
@sometimes_miss
Very good introspection. The differences in our stories illustrate that there are many places we can fall on the spectrum. We're not just all TS, CD, or failures as men.
