Well, this has to be considered good news. I'm always optimistic that our loved ones will become more accepting over time.

Sorry, I don't put that much effort into analyzing anything without getting paid. :)

MM, since you're looking for a job, you should really consider losing the beard, at least until you find a job. Or trim it extremely short. As big as you are, you may intimidate people in...

Well, since it's a convention, you should feel pretty welcomed, I would think. You'll have tons of new friends to make. You can go out with a group, to the mall or a restaurant, and gain confidence...

Congratulations! I'll be interested to see what happens now...

Well, that's a tough row to hoe...I think a lot of us here have many regrets over directions we've chosen and opportunities we've missed. There's no way to go back, so we have to learn what we can...

That IS a lot of firsts!

It looks very nice! Keep up the good work.

Lucky you, Lucy Lou!

That was Bobby McFerrin, actually.

Well, since it's fall here in the southeastern U.S., I've started wearing sweat pants a lot around the house. It occurred to me that the static electricity issue might be less without all that leg...

"As Girls Go" by Suzanne Vega. Perfect song! It's my current theme song.

As a huge Beatles fan, I have to say: it's Yoko Ono.

To me, this says a lot: "Should I continue to quit or should I crossdress (I want both)."

If you think of "quitting" as an activity, you're just fooling yourself... The pressure is building to...

Well said, as usual, Isha. I think you said in one of your earliest posts that your wife wasn't upset about you lying to her, since you were really lying to yourself, as well. That's kind of the...

Paula, what a great story. You've brightened my day, too!

Isha, you're progressing so fast that when I read the title, I at first thought you'd actually gotten on a plane en femme!

Such wonderful news! I'm excited for you. Please keep us up-to-date as you move forward.

Wow, you've certainly had a lot of adventures in a short span of time! Few people have moved so quickly, not to mention so successfully. I can't wait to see what happens next!

I think more guys get pedis now, and I've even heard polish is becoming a bit more common -- but only in "manly" colors like dark blue or green. I think I'll try a pedi, but maybe without polish the...

It is kind of a rush, isn't it? I get a bit of a thrill from it. I guess that will diminish with repetition.

Isha, you're an inspiration. ..you've progressed so quickly and so well.

This is so sad. I agree with the others here, you should reconsider moving out of the bedroom. It's a very big step.

Keep posting, you can use some support at this difficult time.

I think that if I was a girl, this story would have made me cry. :)

That sounds like a wonderful, fun, relaxing evening. It makes me smile to think of guys, in every part of the world, doing that at the same time -- getting dressed up, dancing around...

A look of shock, followed by "Aren't yours?" might have been a good response.
