The one truth that no one will deny is that every couple's situation is different. In my case, I came out to my wife one year ago after struggling secretly with my transgender identity all my life....

Tara, I think that the advice to find and see a gender therapist or psychologist trained in gender issues is the best thing you can do. It's important to understand the source of your condition and...

Hmmm. I can see a possible problem depending on how the word 'straight' is viewed. Straight as a man who is attracted to women, or straight as a woman who is attracted to a man? How many of us...

All we have to do is look at the models presented by the woman movement, the gay and lesbian movement, and other marginalized groups throughout history. It starts with committed, concerted activism,...

Even though I crossdress and have a female side to my personality, my wife still sees me as a man for all intents and purposes. I haven't asked her to become a lesbian in order for our marriage to...

Since disclosure is so fraught with risk, I can see the value in testing one's spouse's attitudes about CD/TG before coming out to her. If the result is clearly one of complete rejection, abandoning...

I've come to understand that sexual orientation is 'hardwired', but I agree with Samantha that each of us falls somewhere on a scale from straight to gay with most of us clustered near the straight...

You know, Alice, I think eventually something like this happens to all of us. It can be very embarrassing when it happens, and maybe damaging depending on circumstances, but those are the risks we...

I'm chiming in rather late here. I had to let your interesting idea, Sammie, simmer in my brain for a day. You know me...LOL!

Having an 88 year old mother myself, and dealing with late-in-life...

My crossdressing didn't really begin in earnest until I discovered my female gender identity. The dysphoria that I felt before the discovery was a mixture of guilt, shame, anxiety, and all the...

LAUGH OUT LOUD! Nicole, I think you've got it.

I find it fascinating that someone who experiences GD due to a sex-gender ID mismatch, will find relief within days simply by undergoing HRT.

When I look in the mirror while in my male gender role, I don't particularly like what I see. It doesn't match my sense of who I am inside. My wife will contradict me saying that I look fine, and...

Who is in charge of my body hair? Well, I try to be, but my DHT has other ideas. :Angry3:

I do find the labels on restroom doors useful. :heehee:

Is it that CD is more fun when the wife's not around, or that it's not possible when she's around? Would it be as much fun if you could do it any time, i.e. whether wife is home or not?

If by 'sexual' you mean sexually arousing, then NO, as long as I keep my T under control. :D

My serious crossdressing didn't start until age 66. Talk about a late bloomer! Oh, there were a couple of short-lived experiments with bra and panties, hose and heels, but for the most part I...

I've come very late to the party at 66 years, now 67. I never liked the way I looked, and made no attempt to remedy that feeling until recently. As a man growing older, as my hairline receded and...

Yes, acceptance of your CD ways has to come from within your wife. Pressing the issue would be counter productive, in my opinion. In my case, my wife is fully supportive, but it wasn't always that...

I have to admit that I'm so new to serious CDing that the whole idea of shopping for female clothing at a brick-and-mortor store is frightening. My DW is more than happy to accompany me for support,...

I would have agreed with Stephanie wholeheartedly -- up to about one year ago. My very first CD 'incident' occurred at around the age of 10 or 11 accompanied by a large dose of guilt and shame. I...

Nope. Never have. But, I'm determined to do it. Funny thing is that 6 months ago I would never have entertained the idea. Things change. There's no standing still it seems. It does take a lot of...
