I was 4 or 5 and had thought about being a girl around that time. Going on 66 yrs of feminine thoughts

And in reply to Consuelo, I was thrilled form the beginning

I just wished I was a girl and everything followed from that

Like Karen, I was dying to be picked for dressing

I just smile and maybe say hi like a woman would do to another woman.

There is an article in today's Times about the new generation and their understanding of non-binary gender. Oh, to be...

My own journey involves a lifelong attempt to understand. I am diagnosed, eligible for transition but staying where I am. Acceptance and not feeling like I need to defend who I am was a big step...

I was 3 or 4 when I first remember being sure that I knew that being a girl would have been better for me

For me it would have changed SO much personally, in my relationships, and in the shame and fear that being different caused

I was very close with a sorts of girls in high school, mostly out of my fascination with all things feminine. Being close made more on the inside about the things that are challenges for girls...

I respect everybody’s comments here but I feel different about this to some of the other members here.

It is odd but I wished my SO had told people or at least discussed it. It turns out she has much more shame over this than me

I wrote elsewhere that I have wonderful, pleasureable dreams of my fem self as a girl

people use Mensch for me, seeing my softness but blind to where it comes from

I am wondering if others have TG dreams. When I woke up this morning, I was startled by my wife. I had the last image form my dream in my head, a vivid picture of me looking in the mirror at my well...

I have written else where that it started when I was 4. A friend and I were dressed by his sister for fun. The next day I wanted to dress again but my friend thought it was weird for me to want to...

The key here is about how one feels and what she wants and hopes would happen. I have been classified as TS by the major gender program in my area at the University of Michigan. It is clear that I...

This is National Coming Out Week but my advice would be to be selective and maybe very gradual about it. I want to blurt it out too but my experience in telling people is mostly that they want to...

Telling is such an important act. I have developed, after many years, into describing my condition as a lifelong gender identity issue and then waiting for questions

Well, yes. I was an all state athlete, captain of the team, administrator, coach, dad-so much so that people cannot believe I have a gender identity issue

Thanks Holly, you say it so well

Reine, the key here is that, from the age of four, I have had these fem feelings and have carried them around for 59 years. In that time I have seen the changes that have come with feminist...
