Being respected in a society that's been so cynical about people. When I go out as a girl, it's really night and day how far people will go to please you. Versus, of course, when I go out as a guy.

I consider it an option. No longer am I limited in presenting myself as a man, and I'm now able to command the respect women get and be a lot stronger because of it.
The short answer is, in fact, "It's all in your head." The truth is if you're very genuine to people, it doesn't matter how you present yourself: What matters is the courage and attitude that you...
This actually reminds me of a story I told my friend about a co-worker.
I've been looking for an awesome red top to wear for Gay Days at Anaheim. This is a day when a lot of the LGBT community go...
My bestie and I were talking about this topic last night. I think for some of us it does kinda become a stress reducer. But for me, for example, when I was out with her last night trying to shop for...
Just go out and give it your best! I mean you're out with your roommates right? Why stop there with them? You might be genuinely surprised as to her reaction! You know you've "WOW"'d them when...
My forms (38B for inquiring minds) are adhesive but over time they've lost their stickiness so, in order to compensate for the bounce (and to also ensure that my forms don't accidentally pop through...
I firmly believe that communication is key to any relationship, so asking her would not only be prudent, but respectful.
Thank you! This is the second time I've come out to a family-ish member this year. I'm still not sure whether to tell my parents or not since they will most likely never see this side of me...
My father left my mother and I when I was still being conceived and my mother left me when I was five years old and paved the way for me to move here to the United States. My immediate family was...
Roughly about two or three weeks ago, my cousin contacted me via my boy Facebook profile about hanging out. The last time I hung out with him was back in 1998 when I had requested my parents to send...
I love the flexibility of being a man, a woman, or a combination of both (androgyne). My opinions have changed over the course of the past year, but one thing is constant: I love being a gender...
I actually came out to my hair stylist in July. I saw him last year when I was reinventing my boy side and came back to him in July. My hair stylist, who was guy, was surprised how long and unkempt...
I'm going to type what I'm thinking, so I apologize if this turns out to be a TL;DR post.
I've only been out and about for a year now, with a year of CDing under my belt and, while I do have CD/TS...
In-and-Out Burger. Hey, it worked for me! :)
This is actually an interesting topic because I've spoken to a number of my cisgender friends and some of them are more accepting of the "drag" style of dressing as opposed to the way I dress, which...
Hi kaley,
Knowing you as long as I have, I know that you're a wonderfully vibrant, caring, and loving soul. It doesn't matter to us what you or are not presenting as. Regardless of what happens to...
A complete change to my femme self requires a bra and my breast forms and my femme clothes.
Otherwise, I merely only need tinted concealer and eyeliner in order to do a "quick change" into my...
I'm going to sound like an egomaniac, but my passability is at 9/10, with the voice needing work. Mind you, my voice is fine, but I need more practice time with it to improve my intonations and maybe...
Hug most definitely! Kiss on the cheek if we know each other a lot!
I can say that I had a very different motivation to CD than a lot of the girls here... it's for confidence building. I wanted to put myself in a situation that would make me vulnerable and wanted to...
I would say someone completely different, with sprinkles of who I am originally inside. It's been an interesting process!
I'm just going to echo some people's opinions here since I'm in agreement with some of them.
I would try to talk to the potential roommate/housemate to see if they would be okay with that sort of...
I'm an advocate of, if you're coming out, put it in the same terms/language/verbiage that your friends or family can understand. It's really tough for someone who hasn't walked in our heels (see what...
Both my female and male styles actually overlap in some places, but for the most part I dress appropriately based on situation. For example, I hung out with my goth/industrial friends recently as...
