I share your happiness at dreaming, finally, that I am a woman, and a very imposing and elegant one!

Your wife is so right! To wear a wedding dress and marry my SO again, but this time as fully me, would be heaven. Looking forward to seeing your photos.

While I was slightly frustrated, I was also glad to notice how much I missed connecting with the site. The thought that it could go away for ever was truly disquieting. So, kudos to all who keep this...

Wow! Who can tell about the future?
Today people in general tend to marry later than when I was as young as you: According to Wikipedia, men on average marry now at 28.9 and women at 26.9... I...

I have thought a lot about this question in its original form (I am glad the allusion to schizophrenia was flagged immediately as a distraction [I would not trust that therapist!]), and can't come up...

I am gifted with being both masculine and feminine, it is one of my talents. Not always comfortable in our society, but this is who I am.
As if if I were too tall, or had excessive energy--I would...

Dear Spirit (lovely name),
As Jackie, many of us will be happy at times and conflicted at others--our society in general is not precisely accepting us, only tolerating, and it is difficult not to...

A3 and B3 here also. It never ceases to surprise me. What a blessing!

Good Lord, equal? Why, then, would I identify with women, rather than men? It is not the same to me...

As for preference, of course real faces, but not all of us can do that. My avatar and my profile picture are me, though. What I don't like is photographs of other people, actresses, for example,...

My wife has said, to my surprise, that she likes my personality much better as Valerie...

Of course I support TG rights and have expressed this very publicly more than once, but I am wary of then moving on to affirm that only those people who do have the right to dress... People have...

Happy!!!

Wow, I understand how you feel. My guess is that best is to get out and talk with your real friend, instead of with the one you are now imagining... Or you will not sleep tonight... My guess, by...

Congratulations! What a great step! The acceptance will have to be renewed from time to time, and it will grow to become, deeper, more reliable, and radiant!
Valerie

We should not forget that times were very different then. I can't second guess my younger self. But I hope that those who are younger today feel that they have great support, love and admiration from...

Oh, my goodness... I am afraid of disagreeing with my very admired Karren who can send me to the penalty box! But why "just"? I am a woman in my mind, and that is the most I can and want to be. The...

What a wonderful thread! I'm also in my mid-sixties and much happier--I see myself as a woman so I would consider blue pills a curse that would reverse a condition I am grateful for. My wife and I...

Congratulations to you both. Around six months ago I told my wife, while we were with our therapist (who is great, by the way), that while she had been away on a trip I had worked superbly, very...

No contest. Much happier in girl mode. My wife prefers Valerie to my male presentation, so my personality must change in a positive way.

Male = 10 too much to do, too little time, and I don't like the male world
as Valerie = 0 just enjoying what I do, even work, when I do it dressed at home
Addictive? This would imply there is...

My wife suggested Valerie and I liked it because it reminded me of valor, courage, which I must have...
Valerie

I was depressed and stuck, not knowing how to move on. I wanted to have someone to help me understand my life and live it fully fully, not at all to "cure" me. I called several in town and none felt...

Wendy, I loved the description of your trip. It had suspense, excitement, and a great ending. I was very moved. Thanks for sharing!
Val

No, that I know, but it is a constant concern of mine. On the one hand I want my privacy, on the other hand I want my friends here to see me so we can have a more real communication. Because of this...
