I noticed that even in male mode I instinctively talk higher and softer when I'm talking to young children or animals.
So I just use my "children and animals" voice in femme mode. It has got me...

Don'let the rain dampen your enthusiasm!
How about an umbrella?

I'm 59, 6ft 3, and 230lb. OK, I could lose some more weight, but I am physically incapable of making myself shorter or younger. So yes, for me (and many others here) conventional "perfection" is an...

Mikell, I'm so sorry to hear that.

I think a lot of us set ourselves impossibly high targets, and then beat ourselves up for not reaching them.

Last week, my SO took a sneaky picture of me on...

I got my fem credit card last week. All I had to do was fill in an on-line form asking for an additional user to be put on my account, and confirm that the new user lived at the same address as me...

I get the feeling that those of us who go out into the real world are a minority, so it's quite likely that many muggles have never encountered one of us in the wild -- at least, not that they've...

I do.
How often varies (a lot!) but in the past month, my SO has been out shopping with "her friend Mel" three times. All three have involved at least lunches and coffees.
Without the SO, I've...

Yes. At least, I hope they do. I've told them so, and so has their mum.
And I've told them that I'm still the same Dad that I have always been, and that the only thing that has changed is that they...

It's not me (or their mum) that is stopping them!
The problem is that they feel ashamed and embarrassed about it, and think they have to keep it a secret.
I can recognise and respect that feeling,...

It's only about 6 weeks since I came out to my SO, and about 5 weeks since I came out to the kids.
My SO was brilliant about it, and seems to be enjoying having a new "girl friend".
I thought the...

If you dress purely for some sexual thrill, then I guess (but I don't know) that it may be posible to kick the habit. If there's more to it than that, I'm afraid mine is yet another "vote" for "no,...

Happenned to me last night for the first time (that I know of).
I'd been to our local TG support group, but some of us decided that it was a bit too quiet, so we thought we'd try one of the local...

The fact that you refer to them as "bathrooms" hints that you may be visiting from the USA?
If so, you might not be aware that there are no laws in the UK that prevent a crossdresser who presents as...

Kohl pencil is a lot easier to get off than liquid or gel eyeliner.
You can get special wipes for removing eye make-up -- they are a bit thicker but much smaller than normal face wipes, but they...

In july, I had a week away, and spent a lot of time by myself. During that week, I pretty much made up my mind that the urge to dress had come back so strongly that I was going to have to tell, so I...

It's just over three weeks since I came out to my SO.
She took it amazingly well, and a few days later she asked to see some photos of me.
And then she said she'd like to meet the me (as Mel)....

Mel,
I'm so sorry to hear that things are not looking up for you, and am horrified by the thought that me boasting about my own good fortune when I "came out" to my SO might have helped push you...

I'm not actually married to my SO, but we have been together for over 20 years, and we have two lovely teenage daughters, who use both surnames, and are joint owners of our home. So I think we are...

Anne, I never had as much guts as you! I used to use my beard as a way to help me suppress my urge to CD, because it almost forced me to stay indoors. But we are all different. I can understand why a...

My SO knows about crossdressers.com, and has read a few posts that I have pointed out to her. She knows I'd be happy for her to join, but AFAIK she hasn't done so.

I have atheory that most people see what they expect to see, based on a very few superficial visual clues -- eg skirt + boobs (reasonable size, not cartoon size!) + long hair suggest female, tall+...

I've only been here a few weeks, and I'm really grateful to the members of this forum for their help and support.
but I have to say that this thing about not being "...being honest and open right...

FWW, most counsellors rounds here offer free "introductory" sessions. I drew up a shortlist of three.None of my shortlist were male. At the time, I felt I really needed to see someone urgently, so...

I came out to my SO about 21 hours ago.
I'm still shell-shocked, but relieved and happy with the way it went.
