Its funny, but I admit I am still conflicted when I respond to gender identity out any form, even those that are anonymous. Sometimes, like at the clinic, I acknowledge and discuss it openly with my...

Its interesting to see these numbers by generation and to contemplate how I might have answered as a 20 something or in the subsequent decades. Pretty sure I would have feared acknowledging my...

A follow up on Cheryl?s comment. Back in the day, (mid-late 60s in my case) I lived with two fears. One was having people discover what I was feeling. The other was that if I somehow gave in to...

Honestly, I envy younger people. Not just because there is so much more access to information and there are more role models (some good, some maybe not so good) but that younger people (even my...

Before I came out to colleagues I dressed in stealth mode...any women's attire I thought I could wear without arousing the curiosity of the more observant.

Enjoy your off-duty hours, and if you...

It sucks for you to be in a limiting life circumstance.

While I am sometimes jealous of others who made the commitment to live full time as a woman, I realize I have it pretty good in comparison...

It occurs to me that the internet contains what gets attention, either to sell directly or to generate traffic to vendors. And then there is the criminal element that seeks access to your digital...

Glad you survived and your wife got a laugh out of the experience, but sorry to hear you may have a hernia. Will it require any further treatment?

I know that if you’ve heard it once, you’ve...

I felt different from my earliest recollections (3-4 years of age) and that it had something to do being unacceptably feminine in my behavior. I felt this since before I had any real comprehension...

As I think several have already observed, human behavior is complex and the origins of any one individual’s behavior can be equally so. Were we born this way? It seems likely that some people’s...

Funny, a bit more than a decade ago, I took my first step out into the world...and it was right out my front door. No one notice, no one cared, and no mobs with torches and pitchforks.

Sorry you had to go through a long and frustrating dry spell. Seems like you are getting back into the groove

Maria, you might want to go back and read some of your posts from last year or so. It seems you have considerable support from your wife, SIL and MIL, pre and post covid. Maybe the stress end of...

I am pretty sure that in order to qualify for a perfect SO you should at least qualify as a potentially perfect partner. Having fallen far....very far short of that standard, I am lucky with the...

My guess...only a guess...is that some purchasing such products are experiencing a placebo effect

Like so many questions repeatedly discussed here, we offer opinions based on our personal experience. I would suggest more valid and reliable information is available from behavioral health...

I was at a local coffee shop when one of the baristas commented, ?I love your boots?. It wasn?t a compliment on how I looked, but the boots were cute. I?ll take that as a compliment.

I would agree that some CDs express idealized notions of femininity and feminine sensuality in their choice of attire. How many times have you read laments about the fashion choices of “women these...

Honestly, i suspect that questioning oneself is a normal and persistent aspect of being transgender. Having a supportive wife and being able to find opportunities to go out together has to be very...

I went through most of my adult life presenting as a male with the name Kimberly. So I am accustomed to funny looks either way.

Yipes! that would have been a surprise for both of them!

Interesting question. In an ideal world I would be 100% passable as a tall, twenty-something Nordic blonde. Obviously, its 40 years too late and passable is not attainable. I have always aspired...

As has been said many times, many ways, instead of purging, just put things away...someplace safe, dry, out of sight and out of mind.

As for self acceptance, perhaps the act of storing away the...

IMHO cross dressing is a behavior. In contrast, being transgender is an identity. I am transgender whether or not I choose to wear women’s clothing.

Interesting bit of math. More people are alive today than all of the Homo sapiens that have ever lived. So, there aren?t many past human lives to have been lived. And if you included just those...
