Hence my suggestion that we take every opportunity to show that such fears are without any basis in fact.

Seems like a teaching moment. Yes, there are those ignorant and fearful folk who will recoil and make signs that ward off evil, but for every one of those there are probably another ten or twenty who...

Your observation is accurate, but I would caution that fiction is... well, fiction. It absolutely does not reflect reality in the vast majority of cases.

The gestational hormone "storm" theory is credible, at least, but the fact that we have no good answer for the "why?" question points up the woeful lack of research into our lot.

I was born this way. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

When I still worried about the neighbors, I'd leave the house with my wig and purse in a bag, and wearing a hoodie to hide my books a and gem top. Good enough to get from door to my vehicle without...

First of all, there are very good reasons for the rule against discussion of herbal concoctions here - they are potentially dangerous, not to mention the fact that they just don't work.

As for...

Sounds like way more drama here than was necessary. From what you related to us, your spouse was not thinking about the possibility of outing you via her phone's camera. That's it. No hidden agenda....

This may be a very bad year for hateful and ignorant anti-transgender bills in many states......

Wait... What?!
The proper pronouns are determined the presence, or not, of certain body parts?
That is a stunningly ignorant, disrespectful and inappropriate approach to the matter. If there is...

One of them is. It's this one... 319004

Ditto. Here on the Gulf Coast , I sleep in almost nothing to bed. When the weather turns "cold", i.e. less that 70 degrees F, the shortie is perfect.

That sounds like "Some Like It Hot, a 1959 Billy Wilder film starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. The reason for their joining the band is a little different (no spoilers here), but...

My thoughts exactly. Pay to be subjected to that kind of treatment? Madness.

I've heard of that - photographic film. Is it still available? How do you get the images off of it and onto your PC or tablet? LOL...
I was just today thinking of all the time I spent shooting...

So... you are wondering "where it should stop", but you've decided that you're "not going to transition". How is it that you're so sure of one thing but not the other? I do not mean to sound flip,...

I have heard it said that one's transition is a success once one has begun to collect BY friends. :)

After following this thread for a while, it occurs to me that we are talking about various values of "bad", when it comes to "bad experiences". No one wants to experience a genuinely dangerous...

Who cares? At that point, it won't much matter, will it? More to the point, if such a discovery were made, people would understand who you were; who you really were. That's not to say you need to...

Support/social groups are the way to go. Until we're able to gather in meat space once again, there's lots of time to find one or more groups that might be a good fit.

You raise an excellent point, Alexis. In addition to the earnest communication related by the OP, education, and the understanding and confidence that can be derived therefrom, is easily just as...

Thank you, Wren. It is this kind of clarity and honesty that is so often lacking in the posts here. Obviously, it is fair to say that for you, the term "fetish" is not accurate when describing your...

And for the nth time, why is calling a spade a pointy garden implement "interfering"?

That we both know who the character was is evidence of our... long experience. :)

Ms. De Carlo had quite the career before that TV series......

Oh... So they're all just suffering from undiagnosed gender dysphoria. That's an absurd notion, of course, but you seem to be trying to invalidate a perfectly accurate application of the term...
