Well put.

I had a "problem" most posting didn't/don't. Very young, I "knew" I was gay, which was NOT a good thing to be in the 50's/60's. When I was mid-40, married and raising kids, I decided I...

A week ago, I timidly bought my first bra at Walmart, which offered the anonymity I thought I needed. I was there again today to pick up some groceries, after having found at Home Depot what I needed...

Emily Mortimer (in the series, The Newsroom) wears office wear better than anyone. I'd love to be able to dress as she did.

I'd disagree about eBay having shipping issues. There?s never been a problem with the order not arriving in the time frame that was promised and to my house, not a neighbor's. For sure, sometimes...

The official name for switching between various physical activities is 'cross-training', and that pairs well with 'cross-dressing', don't cha think? LOL

Yeah, fix the bike and get out there. Here...

Wendy,

You shouldn't feel any need to apologize. In fact, it's me who should be doing so for stepping into your thread. Like you, I came here to try to figure out who and what I am. Reading...

The terms "male-side/female-side" don't make sense to me. I prefer the categories offered by Jungian typology, which --of course-- still gets me into trouble with those who want to promote or...

As the new kid on the block, I'm the last guy/gurl/person in this forum who should be offering advice about buying boobs. But I'll offer this aphorism. "Foam is phony." If you want the weight,...

Core strength doesn't control gait. 'Walking' controls 'walking' and how fluid one's stride is. When I would switch over from mainly getting around by bike to wanting to walk for a few days to change...

Jennifer,

I'll second you about the misery of working in the rain. No matter how good one's kit is, you get chilled to the bone, and the hours are long. But walking in the rain can be a joy,...

Wendy,

Don't wait for things to dry out too much. One of my funniest rides ever was right after a rain storm.

Just NW of Portland proper there's a wetlands area where the Willamette and...

Daytime temps of 33 --the forecast for Philly tomorrow-- isn't too cold to ride. Just layer up and add a baklava and thick gloves. You might feel like the Michelin Man, but proper kit makes riding...

'Arindam' is of Sanskrit origin, and it is used mainly in the eastern part of India among the Bengali and the Assamese. Its meaning is 'Destroyer of Enemies'. Also, and more positively, the name...

As I lay abed this morning, thinking about my cross-dressing journey, I had to ask, "Whom am I trying to please? Whom am I trying to confront?"

Quickly, it was obvious that I was pleasing only...

Will do, especially once I hit the 10-post threshold and have a bit more freedom. But as a preview, I'm typically drawing and building "pond boats", aka, car-toppable, beach-launchable, fly-casting...

I've pretty much avoided responding to this topic of bullying, because the memories --even 70 years later- are too numerous and too painful. I wasn't very "femme", though I've been accused of and...

Two breast plates will be arriving on my doorstep shortly, along with a couple of really cute tank tanks intended to show cleavage. The breast plates are high neck, rather than round neck and low...

The first of my 15 online purchases of bras, breast forms, inserts, tank tops, and jumper suits arrived today. Today's arrival was pair of 800 gram, C cup, silicone inserts and a pocket bra, which...

Wikipedia says the practice of 'cross-dressing' is centuries old, but that the term itself is as recent as 1967 and came about as a protest against an older term, 'transvestitism', which I'm finding...

I'm sure that being bullied steered some toward gentler, more feminine things. But my case was the opposite. I was discouraged by my very homophobic parents from showing any interest in --much less...

Nancy,

I live by myself. Also, there's no boy friend or girl friend I have to explain things to or hide activities from. Also, "coming out" isn't a problem in the sense that "been there; done...

I didn't know for sure the bra would fit me (who's a 34" band size, if I'm understanding how bra sizes are calculated). I just guessed that XXXL was what I needed.

Well, actually, I estimated....

I haven't cross dressed since I was a teenager in the '60's, and then only briefly and furtively. But over the holidays, I decided I was old enough not to have to care what others might think, and I...
