Timely question for me....
A lot of the "classic" reasons certainly apply to me. In recent years, however, I've made some significant progress in being more, "authentically myself". One postive...
Often think I would have been more "comfortable in my skin" if I were born female...
Kinda off and on into genealogy and haven't found any other people like myself in my tree thus far. On the other hand, there is a high likelihood I was exposed to DES (diethylstilbestrol) in-vitro...
Same age here.....and I get burnt as well. Try to set aside time to stay in shape and pursue my interest. Although it's hard to find time to be Josie lately...might have to create second SCA...
I guess I have concerns (as others have echo'd here) that some will equate Drag with being TG. That's not the fault the drag performers though. Drag is just an art form, the solution, as Reine...
Yea, we'd have to make a decision to either "sand-bag" or just go for it :)
I did a "drag" fund-raiser once (before I'd acknowledged myself as TG)....yes, it was campy and silly, but I had a...
Never tried city of heros, but I did create a couple of characters on Champions Online (both male oddly enough). I also have WoW characters on Draenor, Blackhand, and Runetotem (a male and female on...
not pursue such a specialized college degree (aerospace).....perhaps computers instead. :)
And accept the fact that I'm TG and that's OK instead of hiding behind ROTC, fundamentalist Christian...
That's wonderful news :)
I'm actually not on FB as Josie but my male self is. I sorta see FB as a "necessary evil" to keep in touch with friends and family but I don't want to create a hole new account as Josie. My male...
Funny, I just blogged about this subject....
There has always been a bit of disagreement over how broad the "transgender umbrella" should be defined. The best historically referenced definition...
I've recently come to realize that there was more fragmentation between my male and female expressions than I'd thought. I think it was a defense mechanism. I learned to present very well as male...
Fall is a safe time to try it if you're still on the fence. You won't be wearing shorts as much. The hair grows back pretty quick if you change your mind but I think you'll find most people won't...
I just got mine pierced while on vacation (Pennsic Wars - for you Scadians out there :) ). I've done it in the past, but always let the holes heal back up. This time, I'm trying to keep them. Got...
Wow...New Hope...haven't been there in ages. I used to go the the Cartwheel but I understand it burned down. There also used to be a great lingerie/etc. shop called "Le Chateau Exotic"....but I bet...
definitely, I would love for my presenting as a female to be a total non-issue :)
That's wonderful news Ashley :)
I used to think that way as well but, you won't give it up for "the right woman" or any other reason. I thought I would give it up when I started a family. I did....for a while, but it always comes...
Well, you have to work within your comfort zone, but it sounds like it could be fun
I used to but, as I put more emphasis on accepting myself as I am, the fantasy aspect just doesn't do it for me. I suppose it was always about how the stories removed barriers to expressing as...
As many others have said, the need to express yourself as you are overrides fear and you just need to be able to get out. Going out far from home may make you feel a little more confident. You can...
The latter...and the times when I get to express as female are like having a weight taken off my shoulders...if for just a little while
Congrats :) It is liberating to finally take that step....are there TG support groups in your area?
That is interesting, and the last paragraph was a "direct hit". I do have a finger ratio greater than one and I'd love to see results of a BSTc scan. I get the crux of the article though, it's not...
Not only did ReineD nail it, but I actually scrolled down the comments thinking "ReineD's got this one, I'm sure of it" :)
I agree, this doesn't look like a sexual attraction to men as much as an...
