In medical parlance, I'm non-op ts;
In reality, I'm a birl - www.birl.org !

Woo. I just got a chill. I never thought of that. That makes a lot of sense. I am more than what people see on the outside. There is an inner being that HAS to be released. That's why I do it....

Nice one for raising this issue - it's one I've discussed with myself for years :)
Before I begin, some background information -
What am I by society's definitions ?
M2F Transsexual - as assessed...

what other people do is up them - it's their karma.
personally, i buy most of my clothes in charity shops or on ebay.
i don't buy into consumerism (aka capitalism) because it doesn't work - it's...

i totally agree, although it does depend on how willing the person is to look at themselves objectively.

unfortunately, people who disagree are usually (but not always) those who have never tried...

i couldn't pass if i wanted to - the shaved head and beard give it away a bit!!
but i have been mistaken for a girl before they saw my head.
and i've had many compliments on how good i look in a...

I don't accept that I have separate male and female 'selves'. There are male and female traits in everyone and it's the balance between the two that's important. If society accepted that and allowed...

Sorry, but it's not as easy as that. The long term effects of abuse (verbal, physical or the fear of) can include anxiety, panic attacks, depression and even suicide.

- i've also heard some of the R1 bits and got the same feeling.
From my perspective, i don't try to pass 'cos i shave my head and if i wore a wig i wouldn't be me, if you see what i mean ! I still...

neither.
as long as i had something to pee through i wouldn't mind, although i'd miss intercourse (not that i get much of that anyway!!).
i suppose there's some medical reason somewhere for having...

sorry, jean, but crossdressing (or however it's referred to) is not an interest - it's a divisive word, as is transvestite - and if you take them to their logical conclusions, any GG that wears jeans...

not directly, although it was frustrating having to wear restrictive shirt and tie when in client-visible jobs. (i worked in IT until me and my mainframe-related skill set became redundant)
