I disagree (to a point) about the barriers only being in our heads. I have one very real barrier outside of myself. If the parents of my childrens friends (children today are much more open and will...

Martha, I have thought about this often. In general it seems there is a progression of sorts for many (if not most) of us. Perhaps our hormonal balance changes as we age and it in part causes our...
Of those mentioned here, of course Wonder Woman is an essential, it also was very female empowering, an added bonus! Dukes of Hazzard... I actually found Fame to be pretty great, the original from...
Alice, I am not a medical doctor, but it sounds like your sister is diabetic. Perhaps this would explain some of her behavior. She needs to see a doctor, perhaps you could arrange that?
I think the feeling comfortable with the various physical and social aspects of male/ femaleness is sensible, but as PaulaQ said, it is not helpful to a transgendered person, it is not even...
This is a very interesting thread, although it is also frustrating in many ways. The hard thing about it is that some of us may be or probably are TS but because of buried senses of self, denial, and...
Maybe in answering this question I explain something as well. I sometimes don't think I am a CD. I do the crossdressing, thus by proxy yes, I CD, but I really do feel fake only when I feel the need...
First to address Rachelatshop post# 13. The choice of presentation has long been a source of disagreement and anguish among the members here. However, to say that somehow presenting as man in skirt,...
Existential anxiety stems from the moment one comes to understand that there is nothing else or anything else pulling strings or keeping tabs on you. That anything you do or decide is completely up...
Sorry Nikki, but it is not "obvious" outside the biological as to what psychological gender one may be. It IS very hurtful rhetoric to use words like impersonation. There are many people in the world...
Another way to twist this is the "too good looking" problem. There are gender males who would be "trophy husbands," or "catches" for a cis-gendered woman. Imagine the 'horror' that one of these...
That was a pretty great post Someone777.
As far as the OP, children are really tolerent now-a-days, and are even taught about these issues in the classroom. By the time your kids would be at the...
I understand the #1 thing you brought up... not many people relate to philosophical researchers!
Now the gender thing. There are many who now question gender outside of biology. However, (having...
This is a tough subject here on the forums... I think that this is a case of all or nothing, without shaving or (no offense) really trying to even wear something passable in a normal setting is...
Well, I do take huge offense to being called "selfish." Crossdressing, being transgendered, all of this part of life, I did not choose. I live it, it is psychologically important and necessary for me...
Certainly I mean no offense to anyone here, but it does ring a little hollow to say you just don't care. I am not calling anyone a liar or a faker, etc. It just seems that it is basic to human nature...
I like that phrase "gender purgatory." I also struggle with this gender identity thing. I am somewhere in the 80/20 female to male preference range (according to Dr. Science !) so it is not easy...
I have never really felt a direct connection between my sexuality and my crossdressing, which I would call "gender expression." None the less, I think I can understand those who experience it this...
I lived in a fairly gay community in Boston for a while, and most of the gay dudes were not at all into feminine stuff. Not sure if any muggles really make that connection. I recently had a "run in"...
It seems that some memories, and for many here, crossdressing/gender expression ones, make especially deep impressions on us. I do seem to recall very early childhood crossdressing/experimenting...
I identify as TG.
The two big (Huge) differences I see between me fundamentally, and CD typical thought processes are:
One, I am a gender male, thus technically crossdress. However, I don't...
Thank you Jasminepp, I was starting to feel entirely marginalized by the dialog here, as if (we) who identify as inbetween, as in more to one gender than another within our minds don't count or are...
One thing that may actually make it difficult if not impossible for some to overcome in order to tell any other human being (outside the internet) would be the inner confusion and turmoil that may be...
VtVicky in post #28 makes sense in asking what the underlying reason for our behavior is, rather than worrying over sematics.
After reading thousands of threads over a number of years here, it...
Aside from the pink fog rolling in (or out) part, and the feeling passing, I definitely feel your pain. I don't mourn the loss of the look so much as the idea that we won't be accepted at "face...
