Sounds like you handled the challenges of first trip abroad pretty well, despite a couple mishaps. I was pleased to learn how helpful the various security and ground personnel were.

Glad to hear you have substantially recovered. Those particular bones are slow to heal.
I think self doubt can be healthy and fluctuating levels of interest in crossdressing is pretty normal.
Maybe 100% self acceptance is not essential. Maybe one might instead learn to accept...
You are lucky, but you know that.
I was approached by another woman my age at my favorite local wine bar. She seemed at first to think we had met before, but we had not.
One more reason I vastly prefer a quick shower over sitting in a tub. As we get older (well some of us) falls become a much more serious matter. And as a person with neuropath you already know to...
Yeah, besides listen to your mother, there is another old bit of advice that recommends moderation in all things.
I have to admit, when I looked at these examples, I thought of stylish and professional rather than geeky. Perhaps these outfits, which seem attractive and practical in day to day life, are starkly...
Yes, dressing completely before my (ex) came home one day. It did not go well, but at least it was done. Or more accurately that was the beginning of the end.
Seems as though you have pushed the door ajar already, based on how you were dressed. Why not throw it wide open? You have another good 20 years to enjoy being yourself, now that you are alone. ...
I know this is a to each their own thing, but I would agree with your wife, and if she prefers 100% to 50/50, then by all means follow her lead and respect her preferences!
Samantha, I could have been more succinct. Ultimately, beware of the placebo effect.
Being transgender is, as Gretchen and others have said, a very big umbrella term. And of course, only you can ultimately decide where you might belong under that umbrella.
That being said, I...
Oh, there?s a chance that the word may get out in the neighborhood. But there is also a chance that it will not matter. The positive is that your neighbor was willing to visit with you in a...
I like to think I am reasonably objective about my body image, being fairly tall (6’2”), athletically built and 226. I rely on a full length mirror and camera to scrutinize my proportions. Of...
I had to think about this for a while. I recall such a moment decades age when I tried on a wig that my wife had purchased for some forgotten reason. I was stunned and frightened by the reflected...
Based on what you have shared about wardrobe and tool purchases, you might want to have a conversation with a qualified therapist. Perhaps you can afford all that you have acquired, but it sounds a...
I often wore a one piece (and a wig) in my pool. One advantage of the one piece was that I could wear a latex waist clincher underneath, which contributed to a much more feminine shape. Sunscreen...
It?s a good thing your wife is making sure you enjoy new experiences. I wonder what might be on the horizon.
The subject of getting nails done brings back a wonderful memory. Many years ago, when I spent my first extended period dressed (13 days) I began it with getting acrylic nails. It was a commitment....
There are no rules. Just guidelines. If you have a pair of sneakers, jeans and a sweatshirt in the trunk of your car, you?ve got your backup. Enjoy the experience.
I take something of an inventory, but rather than the clothes in my closet, it amounts to a self-assessment in several dimensions, like how I feel emotionally and how that feeling jives with the...
My suggestion is that you address this with your close before the get together. Talk with your friends individually before hand. I think they will appreciate the courtesy of not having this...
It?s important to feel good about yourself, regardless of what strangers my think.
That is amazing. Outside of a gay club and drag shows I have never seen more than one transgender person at any one time in real life. I must live a sheltered existence.
Also, that sounds like...
