I dressed as myself when I was 17, and then not again until I was 34. During that entire time i had some form of facial hair. I was dressing as me occasionally, only from the neck down. Finally...
Wow OP, pretty much nobody went with you on this. I will! I've done some pretty serious amounts of voice therapy and one of the topics was how do you speak to yourself internally. Funny how so...
I wish you the best of luck on your decision. I also recommend some therapy to help.
Good luck with therapy, I highly recommend it! I started with a couple of different people who said they worked with gender variant people, but it did not really go very well. They both really...
Hi - so um yeah, I'm not a CD, but I thought I was "just a cd" at some point in this journey. And at some point my wife did ask me these questions. I had good responses at the time:
Are you gay?...
I think what you are describing would be known as a de-transition. Which is a concern that many people have, but it is largely over-exaggerated. Very few people will transition and then stop and go...
How did I tell my friends? One by one, slowly, over time. All reveals went fabulous at that time, but as time has gone on, some of those friends have now disappeared form our lives. Is that really...
My advice is for you to talk to your wife and tell her what you'd like. Then she could tell you how she feels about that. Then you can tell her how you feel about and then she could...... blah,...
I actually fully agree with Aunt Kelly. I read your first sentence and thought, awww, that's sad that dysphoria is strangling this poor girl.
I am not in competition with anyone except for my own internal image of myself. Sadly though many seem to think it is a competition. But then again you are speaking of a man thing, and I'm not a...
I am confused, what does coming out mean to you if only your wife knows? Do you think that because you are wearing leggings in public locations that you are coming out? Hmmm..... maybe. Typically...
If you were trying to pass or to blend and that was the response, that would be wrong of them to do. However it really does not sound as though you were trying to pass. But it sounds like you...
The first time I met anyone in real life it was a woman from these boards. We went out for lunch and then a bit of shopping. It was very uneventful, but fun. Did it cause any acceleration of my...
Hmmmm...... in my 20s I was sure that what I had was a sexual fetish. I quit it at some point in my late 20s. Though I can't really say I quit it, so I suppose I thought I quit it, lol. About 20...
There are those who say a gender transition must contain certain things. But what things are often debatable. Some will say you are only transitioning if you do ________, and that if you don't do...
Apparently I pass fairly well IRL, but that has been hard for me to accept. I still see myself as looking way too much like I looked before. But I am realizing my vision is distorted and I don't...
Most people don't look for tells, imo. We do because we are kind of obsessed with gender. Most people seriously don't examine others quite near as much as we tend to.
I would not find the scarf...
I'm curious...... what does it mean to feel like a woman? What does it feel like to be a man for that matter?
I have never felt as though I had a woman inside of me, I've always thought that...
I know it is hard and I know it seems like a mistake to have revealed your secret, but personally I think you still made the right choice. Living a truth is better than trying to live a lie and...
Does the fear fade? It depends. On what? Lots of variables.
The are lots of factors that make being trans harder or easier for each of us. Number one being social concerns. If we have social...
Wow, lots of assumptions there. Interesting theories but ones I have heard before. It comes up every so often here. Personally I think it is an attempt to explain something that is often...
hahahahahahahahahahaha............... 38
Uh, yup! I was honestly laughing at the questions though. Five years ago I would have answered many of the questions differently due to quite a bit of...
Hi.... I'll give you my two cents on these thoughts.......
To the question - Would you like to become a woman? -, my answer right now is -it is complicated-. Also the first explanation I give for...
Blogs are great! But blogs are also kind of dying. I've run my blog since 2010. Over that time the numbers have risen and fallen, some things I write about interest people and some things just...
