I am happy to hear that you have not cut your hair. It would be a shame to do it just for a job. I think your biggest problem is that you owned your own business for 17 years, and there is no way to...

Lana Mae,
Flying pretty and presenting documents with a male name and gender is not something new to TSA. They are trained to handle transgender passengers. When booking your plane ticket make...
I have met 7 people from this forum in person, and it has been great meeting all of them. The most recent one I met happened at the end of December, and I am hoping to see her again this summer....
I use Secret powder fresh.
Happy to hear that you had a great time.
In my experience it takes a lot of practice. With practice most of us I think can achieve a passable female voice. I have an app that I use to test the pitch of my voice, which has helped me develop...
The standards I think you are referring to are from WPATH(World Professional Association for Transgender Health. WPATH does call for Real Life Experience(RLE) to prescribe hormones for transitioning....
Teresa,
A little over a year ago I started living full time as a woman, and am now out to my mother informing her of my name and gender change. I have not seen her in person since I came out to...
I can see where a CD would only wear skirts and dresses. After all a lot of them do not dress up all the time, so take advantage of your opportunities when they happen. Pre transition I rarely wore...
Ilene,
I hope things work out for you in whatever you decide.
I remember in September of 2015 going to my first trans discussion group at the LGBT center in the Hillcrest area of San Diego....
Fiona,
I hope that your therapy appointment goes well for you. Personally, I have found therapy to be very helpful.
Take Care,

Being transgender/transsexual has made life harder for me thru out the years. It would have been a lot easier to have been born as just an average male. Having said that, transitioning has overall...
As to what you would lose, it all depends. Some people have lost a lot and some have even come out ahead. Predicting who will be accepting can be very difficult. Even political views are not always...
I would recommend you seek legal advice from an attorney familiar with civil rights law in Pennsylvania. Another factor to consider is would you be happy if your opportunity to dress is impacted.
To add to what Pat said, transitioning is a lot more than shopping or dresses or taking trips out of town en femme. The goal off transitioning for an mtf is living as a woman 24/7, not just when you...
In have met people from this board in Phoenix and in San Diego. The experiences were all good ones. I have no SO.
In group therapy sessions that I went to for trans people, I would say it was about equal for F to M and M to F.
Just because someone is offended does not make the way someone is dressed illegal. If laws were based on someone being offended, there would be no end to who could be cited. Some people get offended...
The purpose of an apartment inspections is to make sure the apartment is in good condition. If the apartment is in good condition you should not have any problem. There is a possibility they see the...
Steffi, I am praying that your surgery will go well and that you have a speedy recovery.
You should have told her before you got married. This could have turned into a disaster, if she would have caught you and not liked the idea. She should have been informed so she could make her own...
Studies I have seen tend to reflect what you are saying. Also in going to group therapy meetings which include both transmen and transwomen, the numbers appear to be fairly equal.
I have the face recognition feature on my phone, but when I tried it, it did not work Well. The finger print recognition has worked very well for me.
I decided to try to find if Americans actually do go to therapists more than the British.
So I Googled 2 phrases.
"percent of Americans who have been to a therapist"
Here is a source I found on...
You say that your true self is as a woman. If so, then I think that if you want to present as your true self on the job, then you need to transition by doing it legally and medically.
I have...
