Kayla,

As a t-gal that's dressed fully, gone out dressed, and dated (some guys, tho I prefer other t-gals: I'm mostly a "lipstick t-lesbian?") for a quarter century, figure I could share my...

I went to a half-year of weekly therapy sessions about a dozen years ago.

Ostensibly to determine whether I would pursue going full-time, and transitioning. Thus, I specifically chose a gender...

Tough to find either guys, or other out & about t-gals (my preference ;-) on CL.

Seems that the fellas are generally "newbies"/curiousity seekers that haven't sorted thru all the confusion, guilt,...

I'm a lil perplexed as to the "mash up" of comments on behaviors (i.e., something tangible/observable) and interior landscape sorts of emotional/mental changes, but I'd certainly say I've observed...

My top three:

1. "Vanity Fair," tho not strictly fashion, a good chunk, plus meaty, interesting articles. Plus enough celebrity dish, for bar/cocktail party bantering :)

2. "InStyle," it seems...

I'm with Nancy, I often "see" my younger sister's face reflecting back in the mirror. At least she was the cuter of my two sisters :D

Esp. with light/minimal makeup, as for outdoor/sporty...

Interseting thread, Keli.

Not sure as to the degree of coincidence, but here, near Silicon Valley, where, as expected, a lot of middle-aged men are in analytical/engineering type careers, common...

One consideration is that you might be best with two different looks/outfits, as spending the day shopping lends itself to a more casual look, and light, daytime, makeup, whereas you might want a...

Monica,

I've mainly dated other t-gals, the past few decades, but have dated a number of men, too, and unfortunately have to side with those warning you off of most admirers/chasers.

To...

I, too, feel a comfortable "stasis," in being comfortable, and enjoying, both my femme & male sides...

A Yin & Yang combining of both parts (tough to say "halves," as fluidity has that "dividing...

To my mind, a few main points stand out:

1. Attitude & self-confidence: losing the paranoid, "deer in the headlights," everyone's staring at me, attitude & mindset which is a huge give (and really...

Agree with the bulk of this thread (as one who's been out as a CDer to two wives, tho the first didn't pan out...):

1. Wife knows before you get married (i.e., don't "spring" it on her later,...

Didn't doubt your vision, Bobbie, just a "field report" from Latitude 38 :)

Tennis requires shorts under the dresses, skirts, either tucking the extra balls (since you get two serves...) under the...

Has to be associated with "cat herding!"

Nothing more problematic than trying to get more than 2 t-gals to agree, commit, and follow-thru with anything :D

cheers,

Before I brought my then "garage queen" Carerra coupe down to the Bay Area, after buying in the Sierras, in '05, my sole Bay Area personal transpo, was a Honda 49cc "Metropolitan" Vespa-clone...

Seems that Skorts tend to predominate, in both golf & tennis (not a golfer, but do stay on top on tennis fashion, and play en femme, dresses, only, for me :devil:

Here in Nor Cal (I live in a golf...

Certainly concur with the comments from Cindy's wife, re. it being hotter & sweatier! Really stresses one's sport's bra, as those ole silicone forms seem to take on a life of their own, "fighting"...

Learned the "hard" way, that active sports, ala tennis, cause some "wardrobe malfunctions" re. gravity, sweat, and silicone breast forms. Having some PC woes, or could post tennis dress pix from last...

Sheila,

"trans-lesbian" is one of the categories on URNA, and several gals (both part & full-time) I've dated have used both lipstick lesbian, and t-lesbian to self-identify, as well as seeing its...

If out a lot at night, don't forget it cools down pretty quick in the desert.
