Yes, two adult daughters. Did it last Thanksgiving. It was a very positive experience for involved. Not much comment from oldest daughter. Youngest was thrilled and proud of me. Wife stayed...
Watching Anchorage, Alaska Proposition One vote, now in progress. Another bathroom bill brought to you by extreme far right.
Also note excellent article in today's Houston Chronicle about...
Lou Reed...Walk on the Wild Side...
Seeker,
My two cents worth: your husband was brave to share. Respect that honesty. Yet, he may have much residual shame, confusion and mixed desires. Remember you can only change yourself--...
Like some, my desire to dress is reduced when stress needles go into red...be kind to yourself. This too will pass.
Retirement is what you make of it, like life in general. For me, retired 2 years: a huge healing of physical and mental and emotional health. It took time though to recover. I lost 20 pounds, I...
Oh yes...just lovely.
Superb question. Part of dialog right now with a close friend and pastor: the cost.
For me: over 50 years of cycles of expression, denial, purging, hating my male body, seclusion, low self...
My two cents: and apologies if this sounds racist, but in my opinion--reality.
Be very wary of Hispanic gang areas. Many can be viciously violent and particularly resent males expressing female...
What is past is past. Water under the bridge. No looking back.
Culture has changed since the 1960s.
I coped my best given who I was at the time.
IleneD,
Excellent...well done. I had a similar supportive experience from my youngest daughter. Not so much from oldest daughter coming out last fall.
I have often wondered what would have happened if I had told my wife while still dating/engaged? Hard to be sure, but I bet her reaction would have been "go away", and then she would have blabbed to...
An example of a ten, unconditional love, in my life-- is my youngest daughter. I came out to her and her older sister last Thanksgiving. Youngest is also "queer". Her response has been encouraging...
Initially a 7-8, pretty high acceptance: helping me buy clothes and makeup. That was about ten years ago.
Then life happened that resulted in my wife experiencing a lot of grief and depression...
Very interesting to hear these stories. I fit the typical profile. In middle school I always wanted to be a girl--jr high stress was incredible. There is part of me that believes life is just...
Slow and cold. Recovery from very intense fall of 2017. Seems I was riding high most of 2017 until late August then I sort of crashed in several ways.
I am trying to reboot into 2018, and regain...
I will throw this datapoint onto the grid. My church, here in Houston, TX will not add a gender neutral bathroom. I talked to the Senior Pastor about it: he gave me the non-reaction, ignore the...
Yes and no. Definitely there are people met on this forum, and then met in real life that have positively impacted me. Aunt Kelly and others stand out: introducing me to the concept of...
Interesting. Flow definitely happens for me in various activities. The most profound are motorcycling, fly fishing and bicycling. Meditation to be sure, and creating art when I get engaged.

Rowan,
Good for you! And yes a smile is effective. And yes keeping the energy flowing is key to abundance. Had the same experience in Portland, OR last August.
cheers,
[QUOTE=Jackie7;4180944]I was in NYC over thanksgiving, and went out dressed nearly every day,
Jackie7,
Heck, we may have crossed paths. I was the guy from TX wandering the streets, buying a...
Wasp,
Thanks for raising your hand! I do wonder about relative ratio of M to F and F to M.
Any thoughts?
blessings,
Gina in TX
All,
We were in NYC for about 9 days over Thanksgiving week. Stayed in Greenwich, near NYU, and Washington Square Park. Couple blocks from Stonewall Tavern and the monument. Observed many, male...
That was quite a trip. Victoria's in Portland...all glammed up, perfect makeup...
Energized
Nervous
Happy...no call that joyful
Dancing on the breeze
Wobbly on heels
Loving
