Sorry Madison. My response was not meant as a personal attack on you, just a different, contrary opinion to those that object to the Crossdresser vs Transgender label question. I believe that...

That post made me just incredibly sad. Kids smile at me. I smile back. There is light and happiness in their faces. It is a beautiful sight. It all has nothing to do with what I am wearing.

:yt: and everything she said too.

Relating to children is a gift. Don't shy away from it in fear of what others might think. I would like to add a third exception...

If you google index finger longer than ring finger You will find a bunch of sites referring to research done in 2000 and the various interpretations of gender and sexuality.

Labels do serve an important role for some people as an integral part of communications and introspection..

But back to the original question:


I became aware of this concept...

You feel trapped in the box. You go to the front door and try to open it but you can't. Why not? Is it an army at the other side holding the door closed? Or is it an army of voices in your head...

Hi Kim.

How's life with the new baby. I hope all are well. :love:


This caught my attention too, and I have a thought, but of course not speaking for the Texans.

I think this is about...

Once you get NYC under you belt, the west coast will be a breeze. Go for it.

Quite understandable.

It might make for an interesting connection with your sister, to ask her for an opinion or suggestion, particularly if you ask for her help to tie in the Celtic heritage.

There are two separate issues here.
a) How to react to a child who shows an interest in Crossdressing
b) Who pays for clothes
The latter question is easier. I paid for my children's clothes up to...

It is unusual for a counselor to provide individual therapy and couples therapy at the same time. There are ethical issues, and possibly this counsellor has crossed the line. A good counselor will...

Couples therapy often includes an initial one-on-one by the counselor with each partner to discover the issues that are there from that partners perspective without the cloak of having to watch what...

Thank you DeeDee. I totally agree with everything you said. There is a difference between intellectual discussion and preaching. I can read Batty's posts and respond if I care to, but for...

What a debate. Sorry guys and girls (choose which you prefer) I really got...

Well, they are not around that often as they have another property, so I never really stressed over it. Even when they were around I would go to and from my car without a problem. If they saw the...

There is an older retired couple living across the street. We don't hang out, but have had many pleasant interactions in the past. None however since I started dressing full time. I avoided them,...

:iagree: What Gabrielle said.
When unhappiness sets into a relationship, it is often difficult for all involved to know why. There is an iceberg there, and often we can only point to the tip...

Many times I am out in a mixed blend of expression, a truly transgendered state. I am being neither masculine or feminine. Even if the law required that we use the bathroom that matched our...
