Hi Patti,
I find that terms are relevant to the user and unfortunately, even those who should know better let their emotions get a hold of their logic and launch with what probably at the time...

Hi Patti,
I find that terms are relevant to the user and unfortunately, even those who should know better let their emotions get a hold of their logic and launch with what probably at the time...
Well said . . . self acceptance is the hardest part regardless of whether you are CD or TS. Once you reach that point then it just doesn't matter because you just don't care. I have no passing...
Krisi,
I can't speak with any authority on your own experience with therapists as I don't have any fidelity on your personal circumstances. To a point, I agree with what you say in that not all...
Hi Jacqueline,
Nothing wrong with seeking out a therapist to deal with any issues we have. I would add that if your therapist is a general therapist she/he may not have experience dealing with...
Jessica,
It is a horrible place to be and I can feel your angst. So it appears you a few choices: (1) Live with it as best you can and try to suppress the urge to dress; (2) Dress in secret away...
Hi Lola,
Not to be a Debbie Downer but what kind of environment do you work in? Are you cool with your co-workers and potentially strangers seeing you dressed? Even if your boss is cool with it...
Hi Stephani,
Well ... the proverbial cat is kind of out the bag . . . so where to go from there? I like Suzanne's advice in that you should take a moment or two to reflect on why you "accidently...
Hi Tamara
Not sure if I am included in the group but here goes ...
The individual indicated that children are being coerced to transition and provided numbers. I personally did not care about...
Kris
Just to clarify ... Are you saying that if my child is suffering from GD then I should just tell them to suck it up and be the gender they were intended to be ?
I am not being a...
To be honest . . . not super concerned about the statistics stated as statistics are just that, a number . . . heck you can statistically prove a high probability of a elephant hanging suspended over...
So Alexa .... not debating your numbers. However your original post implied that these children are being coerced into being trans. Is that your contention? If so, l can't find anything regarding...
Arg . . . I heard from a friend of a friend who's brothers' dog said . . . blah, blah, blah. :facepalm: Yes . . . the media is chock o block full of rampant forced transitions of minors stories. ...
Hi there,
To be honest, the only one that answer those questions is him/her. While there are some commonalities amongst many here, there are differences. As a transwoman, I can't speak to what a...
Hello,
You have already received a lot of good advice from those who have travelled/are travelling the path you are contemplating so I can only echo what they have said. For me the "gender...
Hmm . . . I agree in principle that some parents don’t encourage their kids to be intolerant about difference but to be respectful. However the cold reality of social learning theory is that...
Oh I don't know . . . why not have parents teach their children to be respectful of others in the first place and not name call or be disparaging . . . not required in daily life. Before you go off...
For some labels are important and I get that. Heck I would hate to go through life being referred to as the woman with a name beginning with M :). For others it is not so important as they define...
Good morning all,
Goodness . . . such agony over what is obviously a topic we can all agree to disagree on and beating the horse back from the dead only to beat her to death again is never going...
Babbs,
I have read through your past posts and while you have gone out once or twice in public it seems you spend most of your time closeted. When you live 24/7 as a trans woman you don't have...
Hello Dani,
Firstly I am sorry to hear about your angst but rest assured you are not alone and many have been where you are now and have survived. However, if you are feeling depressed and are...
Hello,
I am glad to read you gave it another try . . . support groups are a great place to find some common ground with others, make new friends and get used to being who you need to be. First...
Hi Scarlett,
I will echo the others who have commented that I believe you and your wife are handling this well by not making a big deal about it with your son as it gives him the ability to drive...
Hi Zooey,
Firstly, I respect your opinion and tenacity for digging your heels in on this point and originally I was not going to reply to the thread as I feel it has been beat to death, brought...
Sorry I don't want to derail this thread but I have to speak to this silly comment . . .
Seriously????
So when the majority decides it's okay to discriminate against trans folk, deny them...
Hi Emma,
Unfortunately that is the net effect of the "big reveal" it either goes one of two ways: (1) acceptance on some level; or (2) exit visas. In your case the fact your wife did not run...
