Hello from Alberta, Kate! :)
If you're experiencing loneliness in general, there's a CD group called 'Illusions Social Club' that meets in Edmonton, Calgary, and Red Deer. However, it's not a dating...
I'm just in the process of replacing my glasses, and I've been struggling with both the choice of frames and price.
Have you found a type of frame that accentuates your femininity? I notice a lot...
You can certainly try - doesn't hurt to play around in the bedroom. Talk about it openly, discuss what you both want, and what you're willing to try to make the other person happy. Your needs are...
ReineD, is this the research you're referring to? Where the scientists classified a wide variety of behaviors as either "primarily masculine" or "primarily feminine", and then had people list which...
Meow,
Are you saying that when he's NOT dressed, he's able to perform and enjoy himself with you? Just a regular guy having regular sex with his gf?
If he's happy with you in guy mode, but his guy...
Hi Meow,
He practically said what his sexual orientation is, without using the words 'bi' or 'gay'. Sounds like he is afraid of trying sex with a man (societal reasons, shame, internalized...
One important aspect: trying things on with all your enhancements! I could not try on a dress properly without my bra / breast forms / hip pads. It just wouldn't fit right.
Nikki, that's amazing - I had an almost identical experience! The first time I ever cross-dressed, I looked in the mirror, and it was as if I had been blind all my life and my eyes finally opened. It...
Aaah... MMOs. Where women are men, men are boys, and boys are FBI agents. :D
Seriously though, yeah, it's all just fun. I think it's been normalized to some degree - so many men do this now, and...
You're suggesting that anyone that doesn't aspire to be a hero is weak.
This isn't about "aspiring to be weak". It's about being "allowed to not be aggressive."
It's because not every person...
You're so pretty and stylish in that ensemble, Teresa!
I love that light gray top.
Hi Jessica,
Looking at the relationships of CD and TS people in my city, there's a stark difference. Closeted CDs can often come to some agreement with their wives. TS women are almost all divorced....
Lisa, that sounds very familiar. Went through a few of the "Oh? But I thought you said it was ok if I dressed?" kind of surprises.
Bottom line, women are taught from a young age to be...
Hi Rebecca,
That story hits home... I know that fear of the unknown, that gut-wrenching guilt that I'm the reason our nice family is coming apart. However, life DOES go on after marriage.
I...
Lorileah, yes! You have a very real attitude about it, and I'm also mindful of antagonizing men.
Not scared to live my life, just deliberate about how I act. If a guy is making a comment, my 'go-to'...
Perhaps you're subconsciously smiling more, even in drab mode?
Many of us just go through life serious-looking. People definitely react positively to smiling - regardless of how you're dressed.
Most of the time, people don't challenge you, because most people are conflict-averse. It's like your parents used to say "They're more scared of you than you are of them!"
Typical stuff:

Hi Ash, you brought up an interesting point - the "different person", or "split personality" phenomenon.
I experienced it a little bit like that, but it wasn't caused by a split personality. It...
I call them 'straight-ish'. We've all known for a while that most people aren't 100% straight or gay.
The problem with calling them anything other than 'straight', is that they're afraid of it....
Bronwyn, enjoy getting other things done this weekend. I've always found the 'pink fog' to be a huge distraction and a drain on my time.
You've spent so many years boxed into the 'male' identity,...
Hi Elizabeth,
How about this compromise: try out the three-day beard? That "neatly trimmed scruff all over" look. It looks devastatingly sexy on some guys. It might make her very happy.
The...
Facing a similar situation: my wife and kids go to school during the day, I work from home a lot, perfect setup to dress, right? Except now, during summer vacation, they're always here. So, it was a...
OMG Lynn, I'm rolling on the floor... that's too perfect!
Awesome advice, how practical. I have to share that one with some of my TS/CD friends in town, some of them are ex-military too :D
Overall personality is still the same, with two small variations: I don't get angry as much, and I am slightly more confident / outgoing.
I don't know if that's a real personality change, or just...
