This is where I am, also: both genders. There are times when I like to be one or the other.
Gina,
Suzy is absolutely correct: no one can predict how coming out to a wife/S.O. will play out. If you do choose to disclose, try to be appropriate, loving and open. The forum threads on this...
Thanks, Suzy, for trusting your sisters enough to share so honestly. Thanks, everyone, for the lovely comments. What a wonderful, accepting group of souls!
Roy Orbison's song, "She's a Mystery Girl" really illustrates for me the early days when I struggled to accept my female side:
Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some...
I remember those days, also. Even when my siblings and I were kids, growing up in a working class home, when going to the nearest city about 12 miles away, my sister always wore a dress and gloves...

Jenny, your "Age Defying Cream" is a hoot! Much better than the "Age Denying Concealer" many of us use from time to time. Just like GG's wrestle with all their lives, getting older isn't always...
I am the oldest in my family of origin, too. I wonder if being the not-so-macho oldest son of a macho oldest son, whose father (my grandfather) was a macho oldest son, influenced me to admire and...
When I am in male mode, I think about dressing all the time and simultaneously think about being a woman. Since I have an accepting wife, I dress at least partially at home most evenings. When I'm...
I had a similar experience with my breast forms several years ago at a TG conference. Having visited the vendors' area during a break, I was excited to have purchased my first pair of silicone breast...
