Hopefully, that taught Donna to listen to her daughter in the future!

I suspect that discovering an interest in womens wear during early puberty can create a strong association with sexual gratification that endures for a long time.

For others, the interest in...

Lots of good advice here.

Gosh, your therapist asked a question that is difficult to asses. How much damage? In my own case, I am sure that my mood and behaviors were affected by the...

Sounds like everything worked out pretty well, other than the size of the pants. Glad you had an opportunity to be out!

To your questions: 1) yes, I have been out many times in many different circumstances, including my own neighborhood, shopping, drinks and dining with friends, at the auto service center, banking,...

Congratulations on the new friends! That is so great!

I am two inches shorter than you, and honestly, I am seldom among people who are close to my height, so I do feel even more conspicuous in heels. But most of the time, I am dressed casually, so...

Used to. Once I retired and moved back closer to home those connections have kinda fallen to the wayside. We are still friends, but have not seen each other IRL for five years.

Your family may have more questions as you get involved in charity events on a weekly basis ;)

I may be in the minority, but I seldom take pictures of myself never retain any. Its not so much out of paranoia as the fact that I just don’t like the way I look.

I guess it happens at least once. Hope your heart rate has settled down!

Completely forgot about St Patricks Day.

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...
