I like my soft flannel pj's or a loose, flowy dress to relax in before bedtime. If I can't get to sleep because I have too many things on my mind I think about the next things I should do about...

FB doesn't just use facial recognition, friends lists, and likes to link people. They also use IP address, browser info, email addresses, geographic location & time, click history, and more. When I...

I've only been dressed in public twice, both times with a wig and clothes but no makeup. The first time was for a friend's bachelorette party at Hamburger Mary's drag brunch. I felt odd being the...

What a coincidence that this thread came up when it did. Two weeks ago I was out dressed in public for only my second time when a lady pulled me aside and asked how I wanted to be addressed - name...

Instead of asking how much we've lost or who's lost the most - some are no longer with us - we should look at what we've gained by acknowledging who we are and what makes us happy. Despite being...

I flew over the weekend with fill-its (a 1 cup size enhancer, much smaller than full forms), an underwire bra, boots, and a wig in my carry on. The bag got a little more scrutiny on the bag scanner...

I recently ran across a thread that posits Beau Brummell was single-handedly responsible for eliminating most colors and frills from menswear, damning genetic males for centuries to a drab palette of...

Marina, I understand your concept of the binary switches and think it could lead to some interesting mental explorations. I also see parallels between the range of cd'ers (sexual/non, personal...

The doctor did file suit and reached a settlement. The other lady didn't have the resources to get legal help so she had to find another job. On the other hand, I also know a trans man who is doing...

I think any difficulty finding work after transition would depend on the company, location, and skillset. There may also be some challenges depending on how masculine or feminine the transperson...

Hi Marihanne. I'm also not rich, but I've been able to build a nice wardrobe over time by watching for good values when and where I can find them. Many of my femme clothes came from second hand...

Laura, are you by chance a cyclist? You described me to a "T" during my college days. I had ripped legs, a tight, round backside, calves as big as my arms, and thighs that matched my 28" waist. I...

Vanessa, two of the key differences I've seen repeatedly between just improving your appearance and transitioning is your end goal and your resons for the steps you take. If you feel you actually...

That's wonderful Linda! I'm also fortunate that my other half supports my cd'ing, at least at home, and tells me when a particular outfit works well together. This morning I was up 2 hours before...

It's interesting that you posted this question when you did. I had been having the exact same discussion with my SO only 2 hrs before. I even had to wonder if she had joined here. Thank you for...

I've been lurking for some time but don't post often. Last night I had a chat with my SO that left me wondering.

I've had (and am still having) a particularly stressful year. In less than a year...

Back to the OP... I would compliment something she's wearing and comment on it if it's appropriate.

For example... I'm the sound engineer for a local band. One of the bassists identifies as...

Definitely. Just yesterday my SO and I were invited to a derby party. She asked if she could wear my brown sheath dress because it would go well with her hat. She was surprised when I asked "what...

Mostly right over left. Sometimes I'll do left over right, but my foot sticks out farther that way.

Even after you said where to look I still had a time seeing the difference. Your legs look great in all those pics!

If you want to fill out your calves try standing on the edge of stairs on just...

When I was younger my dad was the antithesis of effeminate: short tempered, mechanic, outdoorsman, law enforcement, expert shooter. I couldn't even imagine him cross dressed, let alone coming out to...

MM - I'm so sorry that you have such a challenge being yourself at this time of year, when being in touch with family is so important to many of us.

While my brother & his family aren't as strict...

The others have some good thoughts, but I would like to address your original question. What would help me to open up?

A very close friend noticed that we were very similar in size. One day she...

Ms D, I'm sorry things didn't go so well with your dad. Maybe with more, and different, experiences behind you, you might be able to find some common ground. I wish you well if you want to be in...

Dear Ms. CD Manners,

I have a very dear friend I've known for more than 10 years. Because we live several hundred miles apart we only see each other at a festival we both enjoy, once a year or...
