There are other sites where I see a more even mix of F2M and M2F (and M2? and F2?.) I don't think that it's that there aren't a lot of transguys out there. I think it's that they don't come here.

However, be aware that under that rock of sexism, there's usually some pretty vile misogyny lurking.

If they believe you're a woman, you might have to endure years of daily hate mail, death and...

One problem with comparing MtF crossdressing with FtM crossdressing is that there really isn't any way for women to crossdress the way men do.

Western society presents a concept of "women" as a...

Jeez! :brolleyes: The nonsense people try to brainwash you with. Did they also say stuff like, if you wore anything pink, your you-know-what would fall off and you'd turn into a girl?

I hope,...

I learned how to use a sewing machine from my mother, when I was young. Most everything else, I've learned by trial and error, and by reading web pages (lapped seams and french seams come to mind.) ...

That's one reason. I'd rather do a good job of presenting as myself than a bad job of presenting as "a woman."


I don't just like the clothes: the clothes are an expression in some way of who I...

I agree with Nadine's reply. Just a few comments from when I was around that age:

1. Don't assume anything. As others have said, he might be just experimenting with what appeals to him. I'd...

In my own mind, I'm neither transgendered nor cisgendered, I'm just me. Physically, I am male, but I don't have a "male identity" -- being male is not a big part of how I see myself, any more than...

I'm less concerned with the term used to describe me than the assumptions people make based on the term. Particularly on-line, and particularly here, I find people presuming to know more about my...

I've been wondering about this myself.

I'm perhaps in a different position from most people here, in that I don't present as a woman, and I dress pretty much all the time except at work. So I...

I'm another (occasional) participant here who presents as a man but wears skirts and dresses. I haven't ever posted a picture of myself because back when I was first posting and mentioned how I...

I've had this used in this forum as a stick to beat me for what people assumed about my presentation, so, no, I'm not going to go along with it.

When I go out, however I'm dressed, I try to be a...

I think you're confused.

I have never heard of any group called "Stonewall." "Stonewall Inn" is the name of a somewhat sleazy bar in Greenwich Village which attained notoriety in 1969 when the...

Why is that a "price" that you pay? Aren't you both paying for it (in the end), given that you're married and your lives and expenses are ultimately shared?

And would you have not agreed with her...

You know, there is a middle ground between hiding and self-shaming on the one extreme and going onto national TV and announcing "I love to dress up as a woman" on the other. The OP spoke of...

Suppose it were not CDing, but, say, religion?

Suppose you had always loved going to church and singing the hymns and reciting the familiar prayers, and dinner wasn't dinner, even at McDonalds, if...

I did see Tootsie, and I don't think it made fun of crossdressers at all. The concept of the movie is to take a character and have him alternately pass as a man and as a woman, without changing his...

You wear just 4inch high-heeled shoes and stockings -- and nothing else -- back to the office? You must have a very understanding workplace!

I go out as I am. I figure, if it bothers people to see a man who fails to follow all the "man rules", it's their problem. So far, I've gotten no negative reactions -- in fact, less than I get from...

I present as a man even when I'm wearing skirts or dresses. I'm not into pretending I'm a GF.

But I don't really like wearing pants or jeans. They're uncomfortable and restrictive, no matter why...

I haven't noticed any decline in "masculinity" in my half-century or so of watching things. Nor any decline in men or their power in the world. It's still very much "a man's world."

What I have...

In my view, that's the consequence of trying to have a "male identity" (or a "female identity") in the first place.

A "male" (or "female") "identity" is nothing more than a selection of pieces of...

Since the mods seem to be saying that mentioning sites by name is okay, I'll mention the ones I've looked at.

I spent quite a while at skirtcafe.org . It's a friendly bunch, much smaller than...

I've been looking at other sites lately, but I don't know if the CD.com rules allow me to say which ones.

I haven't been posting much here, mostly because I don't feel particularly at home. ...

That sounds a little like my motivation.

I wouldn't know what "feeling feminine" would feel like.

I just know I feel more relaxed and more like myself and less like I'm stuck in some...
