Over the last few months, I have been jogging along, head in the clouds, immersed in my own thoughts, only to have run headlong into an obstacle I should have seen coming.
This has forced me to...

Wow Isha. Congratulations!! That was surprisingly fast.
Does this actually show that the CAF is serious about gender (TG) issues? Hopefully so, but probably not something we will see in the...

I thank you all for your input. I am going to take some time to digest everything that has happened and what has been said.
I thought I had been doing a good job of always putting the needs of the...

has descended and obscured the bright rays of sun that were my new found understanding of self, what I am and what role crossdressing plays in my life.

It came about when I asked my wife if I...

My wife has had this travel mug on the shelf for years. But only last Monday did I actually read what it said. Then, two days later I see the same saying on the wall of the office where I drop off...

Isha,

just want to add my congratulations and continued good luck with the education of the CAF and your work with the policy committee.

Even though I love to dress and I'm currently waiting...

Well, last week I got the OK from my wife to attend this month local (relatively speaking) CD/TV club meeting in the city. It was a bit awkward. I asked her what she thought the chances where of me...

I don't mind crossdressing during the winter (leggings or jeans), I've even ventured out in the past, but this year......enough snow already. Even today, with just 15 cm of fluffy stuff last night,...

OMG Isha. So sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you will be back to full health in no time.

Sorry Isha, no earth shattering response from me. Only to say I loved reading your OP and agree wholeheartedly with your theory.
I have however, decided to not to pursue the "why", but rather...

Thanks Tinkerbell. When I uttered those words to my wife, I really had no idea how she was going to react. We have never found ourselves in a situation anywhere near to this (for reference). I could...

MissTee, I've been at this gig for over 4 1/2 years. Originally the rotation was 8 weeks at work, 4 weeks away (ie backhome plus travel time, so just a bit over 3 1/2 weeks at home at a time, mostly...

And now, the rest of the story.

Well, I haven’t posted anything since I started this thread, that doesn't mean everything went badly (have been busy at home), but….
So shortly after having...

With reference to my latest self-revelation and new found acceptance that I am a crossdresser and therefore indeed transgender, I had decided it was time to have a talk to the family.
Having...

Way to go Isha!!
Hopefully your business trip was as successful as the flights. An excellent retort to the older womans assumptions.

Congratulation. Was also my 20th anniversary yesterday. Unfortunately, 10,000 km separation kind of kills the mood. Not the same over skype. :(

As Allisa and Margot said, just the process of getting older has a tendency to refocus your values. For me, it was career, marriage and family that influenced my values, not the fact I was a...

Wow! Thanks again everybody for your feedback and comments.
Not that I didn't doubt it, (until now I hadn't contributed much) I'd always read that this site was a great spot to find support. I now...

Erin. No news is good news...hopefully..haha.

We all now have to sit and wait until next weekend. Its going to be a long week.

Thanks everybody for the responses so far.
@Lorileah. maybe chocolate wasn't a good example...or maybe it was that girly bit reaching out? lol.

@Jennifer and Bridgette. I agree with you both wrt...

Here is an except from my most recent blog entry, but I though I might get some feedback here as well.

As recently as last week, I thought I had things straight in my head. Well not so quick there...

Bon voyage!

will be waiting eagerly for trip details.

Michelle.

I have never follow a whole thread before, but this one has me intrigued. And, as others have said, just when I thought I had things figured out :doh:….. I am though taking a number of points away...

First off, congratulations on the wedding, I'm sure a very proud dad!
I've never found myself in quit the same situation, but due to family summer activities (along with overseas employment), my...

I recently did a fare bit of reading about the meaning and usage of the word transgender and its shorter form trans for my blog. I found that there is a move afoot to use an asterisk * to regain the...
