I'm sorry to hear this. But it's better to know, I suppose, despite the hurt.
Your post is suggestive that 'crossdressing is responsible' is a cover story. Since she's been doing it "for some...
Well done. It seems you've become accustomed to it. Perhaps it's because you look great and most people simply wouldn't look closely enough to notice anything.
I wouldn't say it's a non-event...
I find this particularly unsettling. What are they going to do, get some popcorn and watch?

Woohoo! I was recently quite happy to receive my Air Miles card with "Rebecca Watson" written on it. It's great!!

About 4-5 weeks ago now, I thought to myself "I know, I'll get my ears pierced" and did. It's great wearing pretty earrings! Despite recommendations, I took the original studs out at 3 weeks and...
Yes, the makeup turns into a mini-disaster when it's hot, but I'm not going to let that stop me. (And MAC make some fairly stubborn products.)
It doesn't take much of an excuse to get me in a...
In my opinion, wigs look fake regardless of how much they cost. They behave unnaturally, can shift around and prevent you doing girly stuff like tying your hair up. There's also constant paranoia...
I haven't really been able to tell, except when it was deliberately obvious. Do you feel it is quite common here? (Judging from the comments here, it's perhaps not so common.)

This question is motivated by this comment in the recent photoshopped photos thread:
Q: Is this a common feeling? Do people actually think we don't really go out and about where large groups...
I do the necessary photo selection and cropping, but other than that, all my photos are unmodified. My photos on Facebook are usually taken with my mobile and uploaded straight without any...
I'm "in trouble" for painted fingernails. And it's not hypothetical in my situation (I showed my daughter), who made comments about it in kindergarten, thereby embarrassing my wife. I now have ugly...
Against you?!?! That was sexual assault!! If it was caught on camera, why weren't charges brought against him?

You're very lucky this person was there to be a witness; I've heard of people's whole lives going down the toilet at false accusations of rape.
On the plus side, the witness did call you "her". ...
Judging from your pics, it's quite difficult to tell that you're not a genetic woman. Further, you present yourself as a modest and respectable lady, so nobody will be paying close attention, and...
Hi everyone,
I have had some uncomfortable encounters with LGBT-friendly people. Yesterday's one was, "nice wig, can I touch it?" He wouldn't go away until he touched it (it was really very...
Sunscreen... there are parts that have virtually never seen the sun before, and will now be exposed to direct sunlight. Oh my!!

Hi everyone,
On the way to a bar one night, a rowdy group of young men drove by me and hollered from their car: "You're really tall!". A moment later they yelled "Holy shit, that's a man. It's a...
Perhaps I'm missing something, but what's wrong with this question? Was it the tone or context it was said in? To people who are not familiar with transgenderism, it seems like it would be a...
I wholly agree! I've only done it once, but it was awesome. The lady who did my makeup simply "got it". I didn't have to explain my personal details, she just treated me like any other woman who'd...
Well... I'm not sure how appropriate it would be for me to ask about a specific student (particularly when I don't know them). I might be lucky and see her at the upcoming Pride events. I think...
I saw a student (I think a student) en femme at my university in Halifax today (inside my building, in fact). I thought she was just another girl until she spoke, causing me to double-take. She was...
Does anyone else feel approval is better than passing?
I would have to say I do. I hate it when I have a conversation with, say, a sales assistant who calls me "ma'am" or something equivalent to...
Yes, overseas with relatives. My oldest child hasn't even started school yet, so they're much too young to understand.
I think about these issues a lot. My wife and I are from very different...
Here's an update. I spoke to my wife about this today, and she's quite certain that she does not want a photo. In fact, I think she's forgotten that she even asked, so it looks like a bubble of...
