I'm a member of the Beaumont - i'm Post Op Ts , and i'm just as welcome as anyone else . There is a broad spectum of folk on there forums and in the general membership.

Leanne , well done for having the courage to tell her. But I accept it is not for all of us to tell and it does not always go well.

My mum was the first family member I told, about 18 months ago....

The other thing is that we also use different terminology when talking amongst ourselves , and sometimes when 'muggles' use the same words phrases, we get offended. Additionally this is a worldwide...

I did one last evening that wasn't on my list.
shy , retiring, in my opinion non-passable, Trans Woman does emergency first aid
No comment, just treated same as anyone - Absolutely brill!!! -...

As posted in another thread a long while ago. I knew what I would have been called, so that was it, I didn't really have a choice.

I'm a member of numerous other fora (mainly UK based) , one term commonly used there in place of 'drab' , is Bob or "Bob mode" - Bob being used as a generic male name , no matter what your actual...

I agree, nothing more frustrating than when the all anticipated event does not happen.

I'm much more content and less frustrated though , in more recent times. As I've now settled into Rachel...

Same as Katey888 , I didn't know myself, I just did it. Thought it would go away or I could control it. I never did tell her, however I very strongly think she has recently found out via my son, and...

Panto' (as it's often referred to over here) is not the same as mime. It's almost the opposite. Where the audience (especially young children) are encouraged to participate in the performance,...

I'm in a similar situation. my son's relationship recently broke down with his partner so he's been forced to move back in with me. Basically he's not accepting. Dadt at best at the moment. Hope he...

I'm 58 , and i'm more or less the same.
However this is very timely, as my mum basically asked me the same question on the phone today.
Answer = "It was in the past and i didn't even think about it...

I'm basically the same as Teresa. but recently I'm now attending 4 different trans. support groups. Including leaving home dressed and driving up to 60 miles to get there. Also had whole 10 hour day...

Like most of the others, I want to go out and be the femme me. I do not want to shock or create any fuss. I want to blend in , but still be me. I only recently went out (for my first time) with...

Big changes for me, not in the last year but just the last 6 months.
I now have more freedom to be me. Due to son flying the nest and now on my own. I have told my mum and my daughter, and couldn't...

I never ever told my (ex) wife. Divorced about 16 years ago. Raised kids as a single parent. But once I retired a couple of years ago. I waited till my son flew the nest. Told my mum and daughter...

Like Natalie, i decided that whoever sees any of mine on here (or a couple of other places) must be either a member or have 'an interest' in CDing/Transgendered people to be browsing here. Or they...

Originally grew a beard when i was 16 or 17 - so I could go into a pub to get a drink (alcohol) - never got challenged because no one expected someone underage to have a beard - shaved it off when...

Like you I only recently went out as Rachel.
It's great, so far only positive experiences

Don't worry about passing, especially if you are going to an TG group.
From my...

Thanks
Katey and Nathalie.
I just feel a lot more comfortable as Rachel when interating with others now.

Have been dressed all afternoon and this evening. Even fell asleep on the sofa just...

I went out again last night (to a transgender group) - after umming and arring for most of the morning, decided i was going to do it. Anyway I couldn't find anything to wear (I've got a full...

It partly depends on your definition of 'friends' . Are you talking about physically meeting up with others from this site and interacting socially as 'friends' or just people who have linked to you...

Hopefully no permanent damage has been done.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
hugs

Never ever considered being gay. I think Sheila summed it up about right. Like most of the posts below, Always fantasized about wearing the clothes when I saw a girl/woman that looked good or I...

Yes, i believe it did help. and because it was effectively in a private bar at the back of the pub, there was only 'the Swans' in there. It wasn't into a bar full of the general public. The Loo where...

Sorry No Pics
Mum knows about Rachel (told her about 10 days ago - see my post) as a 'stay at home' Crossdresser. She actually rang me while I was there to see if i had got home OK. But I couldn't...
