For Today I am a Boy, and You Are My Sister, both by Antony and the Johnsons

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. I really appreciate it!

Hi, everyone!

I have been away from the forum for a long time, like eight months, and I don't know if I am asking this in the right place or not. Feel free to move it if it is inappropriate here....

Jennifer, what a great, great story. You are very lucky, but your wife is, too.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. I apologize if I am putting it in the wrong place and assume the moderators will move it.

But, my question is this: I will be visiting...

I have similar feelings. I find myself fascinated with, drawn to, and entirely focused on women's clothes as opposed to men's.

Wow! Michelle this sounds like a big step, and a great one, too. You don't say how old your sons are but I know that these kinds of revelations can be challenging for teenagers. It sounds as though...

No, I don't have someone I can dress with, other than my wife. I have wondered what it would be like to have a friend that I can share my dressing with. Maybe one of these days.

Wow, I didn't expect all these responses! The conversation is really interesting and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Actually, when my wife told me that she had told her friends I was,...

My wife and I stayed in the other night, had some wine, chocolate, watched a little TV, and talked. At some point during the evening, she told me that she had told several of her friends that I was a...

Xenia,

Thanks for starting this thread. I have also been thinking about taking steps by trying out make up, clothes, etc., without going "all the way." I have used make up, not much, but a little,...

Julia, I had the same sensation watching You Tube the other day, and I have found myself focusing more on being a woman, than on looking like one, or a caricature of one. Sometimes jeans (from...

Like many of you, most of my friends are women. With some exceptions, I have always found it easier to socialize, work with, and hang out with women.

Rachel,

Thank you. As others have replied, I can relate to so much of what you say, and I appreciate your post. I look forward to watching the TED presentation you mentioned.

thank you, thank...

I agree that this is a more complicated question than it may appear initially. There have been times when I feel definitely that I was in born in the wrong body and that I would do anything I could...

I agree that out of town makes sense. But I also really appreciate the comments about being comfortable with you are, and then going for it (safely).

That pretty much describes it for me, too.

No, I would just pay attention so that when I did buy her panties and bras, which I do now, I would pick out styles she likes.

I don't see myself as two separate people, but as someone who can flow along a spectrum that is purely feminine at one end and purely male at the other. Most of the time, in my daily life, at work,...

Ditto. I wish I could get back everything I threw away. Even my wife said I was crazy for tossing the stuff. But, now that I am back, I am having fun getting new things (slowly) and thinking about...

You know what? It is really good to be back! Thanks for everyone's comments. It means a lot to me to know that there is a community out there.

I feel lighter, freer, less trapped, as though there is more air to breathe.

I agree, it is a part of who I am. And, while there are some times when the urge to dress or live as a woman is dormant, those feelings are wide awake right. It's good to year so many of you say that...

Good for you! I am impressed. I wish I had your confidence. That's what I need.

Denise,
I know what you mean. I had collected quite a bit stuff, threw it all out, and have had to start all over again. This time I have to remind myself that even if the urge to dress goes away,...
