My daughter gave me a Victoria's Secret gift card. A daughter-in-law gave me candy and a pair of earrings. One of my oldest buddies and his wife gave me a Sephora gift certificate and another old...

My thoughts exactly.

It's a date on the calendar I've looked at and watched as it passed me by for many years. Until now. However, this is not the only time to come out and it's not intended to apply pressure to anyone...

If we are to use the term "Transgender" as an umbrella term, there is no reason not to include CD's. You can say what you will about where you or someone you know will end up, but I doubt there is a...

I'm with Gretchen on this. We feel the discomfort of gender dysphoria and it gets stronger until we deal with it one way or another. Sometimes we are much more capable, have resources,...

Please be careful and get rest and pleasure when you can. Your skills and dedication will need more honor than a paycheck and evening applause one of these days. Good luck to you and your...

Twenty questions

Thought we might get to know each other. No comments on anyone?s answer please just your answers . If there is something you do not want to answer or it does not pertain to you...

It seems that any progress I've made recently in coming out and getting comfortable in public settings and around folks who actually know me is being put on hold. The Stay at Home...

Sara Jessica,

Shame sucks as a motivator to do anything, right or wrong. For me it usually means I'm allowing others to define me and how I should be feeling. That's not saying it doesn't work...

Since I've been staying home and live on my own I'm not wearing a bra very often, shaving my legs or underarms and there is no need to do my makeup. My focus is on staying away from the virus and...

No, it wasn't a real date but it was the first time two of my old buddies got to meet Sarah.

I go to breakfast with the same guys almost every Wednesday morning and last year when I started...

I haven't had a single negative response so far, but I've been very careful in choosing who to let in. However, as the circle gets larger and larger there will be more chances for it to spill out...

Between my personal experience, spending time with others in the community and the years I've spent on this and other forums I've attempted to harvest some of those events and experiences eventually...

Our fears are real, but fortunately not everyone lives inside our head and are much more open than we suspect. Major props to you and your kids for dealing with this first with honesty and then with...

Sara,

I've missed you both here and at DLV, but know enough to trust you to balance everything properly to fit in your world. I was discussing the "closet" with someone recently and got them to...

A few years ago at Diva Las Vegas I ended up with one extra bottle of champagne that came with the limo ride. As I was waiting for the valet (it was for tips back then) to get my car a group of 6...

My experience is mine and I can't suggest you might duplicate what has happened in my life.

Evidently I've lived a life where I've been there for others when they needed me, helped where and...

With myself and many of those I know, we agree the best time was probably several years before we took the first steps. In lieu of that I guess the answer is now.

SLCgirl,

First, welcome to the forum. You should find a lot of good advice and support here, particularly the "Don't Purge" suggestion. Store things when you can because the financial and...

I broke my heel a few years ago and finally decided I wasn't going to be wearing heels over 2 inches or some of the flats that were less than comfortable. I took a large bag of size 11 and 12 shoes...

I've had it happen when people who only know one version of me, either male or female, have seen me presenting opposite of how they had come to know me. But both of those have been with or without a...

Last night I went to the local Pride Center where they were sponsoring a night of Transformation. There were hair stylists and nail specialists, makeup assistance, a wig tech, a voice coach,...

Victoria,

There is so much healing power in being able to share common experiences. We spend years and years questioning our choices and actions/inactions only to find out we have followed so...

I've been told I look like my mother, and that was before I ever came out. The biggest difference is I'm about a foot taller and have outlived her by several years now.

I love wearing skirts and dresses, but when it's below freezing out and I know I've got a ways to walk I'll dress for the weather in any one of several pair of pants I've picked up over the years. ...
