My personal labels:

Sexuality: about a 1 on the Kinsey scale (not quite straight as an arrow but close) I can aesthetically appreciate a "good looking man", but I have no romantic or sexual...

Truecrypt is a closeted person's best friend. I have a single large file (10GB) on my computer with no file extension to indicate what program should open it. That file is actually a container...

Freddy, as a fellow CD with no transitional desires, I think a number of things led to this. I won't call them excuses, as I agree that has a negative connotation, but rather let's just call them...

Jennialy: the wife absolutely has final say in anything involving the public. Basically, I'm currently a computer tech for our local school district (assigned to half of our elementary schools), and...

Stephanie: very good point. As a matter of fact though, it's all academic if I don't get the new job anyway, as my current job has me in frequent (if incidental) contact with elementary-age children....

Jamie is my femme name, not his name. :) And yeah, I'm sure the 3 degrees of separation here (6 aren't necessary in a town this size ;)) dictate that word will probably get back to him eventually....

So I'm interviewing for a new job that should (in theory) make my career less in danger should my dressing become general public knowledge. I'm counting chickens before they hatch, but should I get...

I have to second this. Definitely go to the show with her if at all possible. The kilt comment was definitely too ambiguous to deal with, so just let that one go. If more similar comments occur, then...

I'm somewhat in the same boat as your SO. I'm "out" to my wife, but I'm still not entirely comfortable dressing in front of her, and I'm definitely hyped-sensitive to her when I do. The last thing I...

Currently have 34C and 36D. I mostly wear the 36D, but I think they may be a tad large, so once I have some money, I'll probably downsize to split the difference at 36C.

The line between CD and TS is literally in your head. Do you feel like you ARE (or want to be) a woman, or do you just enjoy occasionally acting/dressing like one?

Lines I've crossed:

Dressing...

I'd be (pleasantly) shocked to discover that all 50 states required segregated holding facilities for transgender folks... Especially if they required it of all local and county lock-ups as well.

They're all right. :). The problem here is there's just no way to know for sure what she was thinking unless you ask. Since it's a new relationship, I would just let it slide for now. If something...

Sorry to take so long to get back to this!

To clarify for those who were asking, the Q in LGBTQ stands for "queer" or "genderqueer" - those who don't fit into either portion of a binary...

So my wife is very active in our local LGBTQ community. She's on the board of our area Pride Community Center. I go with her to most if their events to show my support as a straight ally, and I've...

The only neighbors I'm concerned about is our tenants that live in the other half of our duplex. They're all fairly conservative Christian young men, and though I know I'm stereotyping by having this...

Wow, ok then! To the point! :) You're right, my dressing is not an issue, I'm very lucky where that's concerned. To answer your question, yes the idea of separation has crossed my mind (I'm human),...

Erica: It's telling me I can't send you a PM:

Babeba, you're pretty much right on all counts. I guess I feel a little bit like I imagine some of the SO's/spouses of CD's must feel. I've given my agreement to this behavior, now I don't feel like...

Kelly, you bring up some good points. First, I'm not saying I'm not transsexual because I like women. I'm saying it because while I occasionally enjoy playing the role of a woman, at my core I'm...

Ok I'm going to break this up into a couple of replies so I can be sure to address everyone. First let me clarify: I do not intend to cheat on my wife with my ex-gf. As the ex lives about 100 miles...

Thank you all for your thoughtful replies. It's late and I'm sleepy and on my phone or I'd make a much more in depth response. I'll get back here tomorrow to address the interesting thoughts many if...

While I like hose, living in Texas means I mainly wear them to hide leg hair because shaving my legs is absolute murder due to the number of ingrown hairs I get. If I could shave regularly hose would...

I don't think this is really something someone else can give advice on. If I wasn't concerned with being out in public around this town, I would totally love to go out en femme with my wife and her...

I mentally prefer "transvestite", but agree that it has gained something of a more negative connotation. Also, since I do not think of myself as transgendered, the common abbreviation "trans" can...
