Great thread, Joanne. I struggled with this for YEARS - for exactly the same reasons. I knew that if I was going to dress for Halloween, I wouldn't be able to do it halfway, but I also knew that...
Interesting thread. Can't wait to see more responses. I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle of this path. I came out to her last fall, and though it was rough at first, she very quickly let me know...
Yes, if this were Facebook, I would Like it over and over again! I very much admire your situation - having recently "come out" to my wife, I'm fumbling over how to get to the next stage. The actual...
Sometimes, when I'm fully dressed and feeling really good about how I look, I get almost overwhelmed by the desire to go out, just to do...anything! When I brought this up with my therapist, he...
Thanks for the great stories, Tracii. It's great to hear about those positive experiences! I guess being confident and just doing is a huge part of it all.
Amelie - I'm in Chicago, so there are no...
I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually get a little creeped out when I get a compliment from a man. It's one of the reasons that I had to get off Flickr, because the thought of...
First: Yes, we rock. Absolutely. This thread is exhibit A.
Second: Now I can't get that Dio song out of my head!
Third: I posted a thread a few years ago, asking about rock clubs where M2F...
Thanks, Scarlett! I'm curious, though, why so adamant that your therapist will never know? Wouldn't that be a helpful bit of information? (Not that I know why you see a therapist...)
It's...
I had a fascinating session with my therapist today, where we discussed my theory that it's a lack of acceptance of myself as a crossdresser that is holding me back. I think we may have gotten to the...
That's what I did last year! Ziggy Stardust, baby. Super-femme makeup, but with the lightning bolt. Skin tight, purple pants, and tall, high heeled boots. It's about as close as you can get to...
This. Out of everything I've read so far, this statement best sums up where I'm at with all this. I still remember the night when I had that realization - that this part of me was never going to ever...
I'll just add that this continues to be a confusing point for me as well, but, if you think about it, as a heterosexual male, it actually makes sense. Right? If the image you're creating is based on...
Wow! So many amazing responses to this thread. I don't have time to comment on them, but thank you all for sharing, and let's keep the discussion going!
I do feel like maybe I'm grasping at straws...
I'm not sure if that title does to justice to what I'm about to write, but here goes: I've been a member of this site for like 6 years now, and one of the reasons I keep coming back is because all...
Totally agreed on 80's MIJ Strats - this was my first guitar, and I still love playing it. This thing has been with me for almost 30 years now.

I saw this web comic today, and many of the comments made be feel better about the future of humankind:

This is a tricky one. If I had come out in my early-20's, as many have said, I may not have married, had two great kids, and all the amazing things that followed. So, though I certainly missed some...
I feel like there's so much that's already been said on this thread, I probably don't have much new to add, but I'll offer this: therapy is a wonderful thing.
To backup, I came on the forum...
Yes! I made sure to let her know I was feeling a lot of anxiety, which she knows because work has been causing me a lot of stress. As I said, I didn't go specifically for the crossdressing, we got...
I started seeing a therapist for anxiety and depression a few months ago, and I have to say - I highly endorse it! I didn't go in with the specific thought that I would talk about my crossdressing....
Thanks for sharing your story. I get how hard it is, and for someone who's beens struggling to find the courage to do what you just did, your story is incredibly inspiring. Cheers to you!
Amy, this is one of the best posts I've ever read! It's funny how the most concise, simple statements, "Crossdressing does not make you a bad person," can have so much meaning. I'd never thought of...
I did go in a "female" costume this year. It's a party we go to every year, with mostly the same people, and it's adults only. Since it was my second year in a row going in drag, I was definitely...
