I've recently completed C25K with a final time under 30 minutes, and hope to keep it up - if my knees will allow it :(

I make a point of calling out bigotry and ill-informed discrimination whenever I can. Sadly, this is sometimes necessary within my wider family. 'Tranny' is bandied about quite a lot when you listen...

I've loved cooking and baking since I was a child and even chose it over woodwork at school, ending up the only boy in the class. I do 99% of the cooking at home (there's a Goan veg curry bubbling...

Hi Carrie

I remember being clocked for the first time, on my first trip out. I'd been strolling around a local town for a few minutes and eventually went into a charity shop and had a quick...

Good to hear. It is a great feeling, every step further bringing a new sense of achievement, confidence and completeness :)

For me #2 follows on from #1. I've not been out often enough to be the best judge but I'd be surprised if further outings didn't add to my confidence.

Saltaire is definitely a grand day out. Salt's mill and the village were built by Titus Salt along with all the amenities needed by his workforce, including a hospital, library and a park. A great...

Addressing the OP, I don't think anyone here is going out actively objectifying women by their choice of clothing, and it's right that anyone can make their own choices, within reason.

However,...

During the cold snap* of November/December 2010 my wife lent me a pair of her tights, which I enjoyed far too much :) and may well have set an unstoppable (pink) force in motion. I'll admit I did try...

I'd also go for No. 1. It looks more natural to me.

To be fair, I don't think that was the intention of the OP. Personally, I've found it quite thought-provoking and have been thinking a lot about dysphoria (as in "a state of unease or generalized...

Sadly, that does seem to be the case but, on a positive note, alongside it we also see greater numbers that are accepting, and openly so, as described so often by those venturing out in the RW. The...

They seem like the kind of thing I would have bought a couple of years ago as a 'legitimate' way to be almost crossdressing. As quoted from one review: "... it's more of a pair of universal leggings...

Absolutely, yes, and usually whatever the latest purchase is becomes a favourite for a while - until the next one arrives :)

Charlotte, I always love to hear about your outings. Keep them coming :)

From this point I think it was destined to go well.

That's because it's not the reason and nobody has suggested it is. Men don't complain about women having more than their fair share of power and influence because that not the reality of the...

Forgive me if I've misunderstood that but I think you're saying that women are perfectly capable of making their own choices in how they present themselves, without the influence of men, but that...

My point exactly.

Hi Charlotte

I was also going to suggest trying anything from 7 to 9 based on my experiences as another UK8. There appears to be little consistency in womens shoe sizing.

Time to throw jeggings into the mix?

I don't doubt your experiences with some people who identify themselves as feminist, and there are some more extreme elements here in the UK too but overall feminism is seen as a positive...

Don't underestimate the power of patriarchy. A woman here in the UK lost a case after being made to wear heels to work.

As CDs we should perhaps be especially aware of the dangers of stereotyping....

Excellent news :) A good choice and a courageous one. I'm glad to hear how well it went, and long may that positive response continue.
