I sorta feel like I have two different responses to this question--on the one hand, I would say no, in that my wife and I both dress largely for comfort and functionality, and on the rare occasions...
I have to agree with a couple of others: for me, the most "fun" thing was my wedding dress. In all honesty a large portion of the fun was the whole process of selection and then getting measured and...
As a transgender woman married to a woman, I encountered something similar with my wife early on--she was fully supportive of me being my true self, but she did go through a couple of phases when she...
As someone who has lived life exclusively as a woman since 2002, I obviously do everything "dressed". But for what it's worth, when I was first making the transition to full time living, I got the...
This is why I love this site. For days on end I was confounded by trying to think through this thing; in a few hours I get a number of responses that not only make perfect sense, but even give me...
Been reflecting on when I came out years ago, and I was struck by something that I didn't think much about at the time. When I came out to my sisters and mother, they were fine with me being trans,...
I actually had the flip side to what you describe: in my case, there came a point where my wife approached me about the idea of her taking on the "man" role in the bedroom, prior to which I had never...
I went out so many times in jeans/slacks & blouse without being noticed that I usually consider my real first time to be when I went with my future wife to junior prom in matching outfits,...
I have many tattoos, and other than my wedding ring, they all are pretty much unisex; children's names in cursive script, etc. The only one that might be interpreted as "masculine" is on my shoulder...
I have to answer this with both a yes and a no, and though that sounds like a copout it's really not. See, I have many times gone to extra effort, and sometimes to an extraordinary degree, to change...
Tracii, let me just say No, thank you for not being afraid to call it like you see it. If I had such a great handle on things that I'd have any business being upset with genuine feedback regardless...
Some very good points being made here, that's why I like posting here so much-always good feedback that's usually well thought out, even when it's not what I want to hear. Maybe especially then,...
So I'm just going to vent a little bit here about a pet peeve of mine:
I had another round of a recurring conflict my mother a couple hours ago; we've been butting heads over this relatively trivial...
Wow. I'm going to assume you were just attempting a joke with really poor execution, but just in case I'm won't, and in case I somehow wasn't clear enough previously, I'm committed completely to my...
My wife only makes me follow the rule she has for herself, which is that you can only have what you will actually wear. For me, it doesn't come into play so much with dresses; after a decade and a...
It's a perfectly human thing your wife is dealing with. No matter how well you know and trust someone, you can't ever really know everything that's in their heart, and that's where normal fears and...
While I hesitate to pass judgment on anyone else's handling of their kids and their issues, I do believe that the trend toward cultural acceptance of the transgendered can be a double edged sword in...
I think it's probably a two-fold matter: 1, most men dressing in women's clothes only wear them around the house, so practicality isn't really an issue. As someone who has dressed exclusively en...
While I can't speak to anyone else's feelings or experiences, I don't believe crossdressers are inherently bisexual. I think most are either gay or straight, with crossdressing being a totally...
I actually have two different jobs with two very different environments: on the one hand I work as a cook at a village inn, and the only time I encounter even the tiniest bit of awkwardness with...
I do understand the concerns, and that's partly why I feel so bad for creating misperceptions I never intended. I truly do appreciate your point, and I assure you nothing is being rushed. Even when...
Let me start by saying that anything I say is just my opinion, and that situations are so unique to those involved that it's hard to offer any truly useful advice from afar.
But as a tg/cd who's...
I especially would like to apologize to anyone here dealing with SO who isn't accepting or supportive--i can see now that I should have taken greater care to not leave any implication that I was...
The math is correct, just highly unusual. We had our first child in 1993, when I was 14 and a half and she was 16; got married in 97 once I turned 18, then had the other two kids over the next three...
I've thought the same; when asked, she says the reason she pushes for it is two fold: she likes the way it looks, and she likes being able to dress me in things she can't/doesn't dare to wear. I...
