Sarah:

Not sure if you've checked this out already but there is a TPSG (Transgender Peer Support Group) run by TENI at various locations in Ireland.
The one in Dublin meets every 2nd week....

Expresses it perfectly for me.

Completed.

I normally will wear a gaff when I go out. Aside from that, only on occasion depending on what I'm wearing.

I've invited her on a few occassions and so far has declined. I hope she will one day.

Facebook, but don't use too much.

Voted ...

Congratulations Sarah. I'm glad everything seems to be coming together for you and this breakthrough with your mother is a great 25th birthday present! Anyway enjoy the day.

Since accepting it (only a few months ago), I don't have too much doubt about what I'm doing or when I do have doubts, it is short lived. On occassion when I'm challenging myself to do something and...

I would love if I could just go out with family and friends as Sandra.
Unfortunately, I'm only out to my wife and while she is supportive she does not wish to be out with me in any way as Sandra. ...

Most definitely dress with intention to blend as best I can. Were I much younger and with a figure that could carry it off however, I might tend more toward stand out!

I fully accept and like myself for who I am. Despite much self-reflection, however, I couldn't label myself gender wise. I'm somewhere between either end of the spectrum.
While acceptance is most...

1. Shorter in height by about 6 inches
2. Smaller feet by about 5 UK sizes
3. Smaller hands

Aside from that I would like to lose a good bit of weight and body hair.

Over 50.
Married and told my wife in February this year

I think the forum has made a huge difference for me. First and foremost, I felt normal. Beyond that it has and continues to help me reflect, stimulate ideas and provides varied perspecitves to...

Lexi, if your only concern was that your sister may have found your clothes, then I would agree with Jorja's advice.

However, regardless of this incident, it sounds like you really want to open up...

I'm a birth-male who identifies as male. Have recently accepted and come to embrace that I sometimes like to present as female. Still very much in discovery mode on this side of my personality.

Yes I find it as a positive motivator to lose weight and to look after general health. The biggest difference I think was accepting my CD'ing which has made a huge difference to my mental health,...

Yes, I was delighted when she asked for my eyebrow pencil. She is now eyeing up my lip pencil!

Congratulations Sarah. Very brave and glad it worked out well. You have a great sister. All the best for the re-talk with your mom.

Congratulations, Lacey. I've only another 9 years 9 months + to catch up! I'm sure the insights and support provided by the more experienced members is a large part why this site is such a valuable...

When I came out to my wife, I let her know in advance of doing any dressing in front of her that I wanted to build up to a full outfit (without being specific about what that is). Her initial...

Having accepted yourself, being able to communicate with your wife together with the advice and support of this forum is a good foundation to help navigate a way forward and hopefully to a state of...

I repressed and didn't accept it until this February, age 56. Over the years I occassionally could not resist the urge but each time followed with guilt and self revulsion. When I finally accepted I...
