I agree with Krisi. Keep in mind that mimicry can be taken as a complement. I am pretty sure size is not of great concern to her, but get some forms that, when blended with whatever natural boobs you...

Joyce, you mention "testosterone building." I am not sure if you are serious about maybe taking testosterone to increase the amount or if you are using that as just an expression. I suspect you know...

I could not agree more with the article Marion posted. I recently got a pair of 3 inch heels. OMG, it is a whole new skill just to walk across the room with those things on. And the muscle pain at...

Yes, Maria, that is a little bit funny. Unless it is happening to you. I suspect you are showing an allergic reaction to something in the fabric or something else in the structure. A good washing...

Oh my, Peach, you are so right. And in these days it is even more important than ever before. There is so much hate in this world now.

Yet, in my view, it is actually less than it was in the...

Quite true Orchid. Even though we all show some kind of gender variance the way of addressing and doing that is highly individualized. Any rules are often so generalized they really are not of much...

Hugs are hard to come by these days and we humans seem to have a definite need for hugs. I suspect those of us humans who really miss that are using other things to provide that feel.

I find a...

Di: Most of the time I may be a lot like Sherlyn. In terms of identity I am mostly Gretchen most of the time anymore. And what I am wearing doesn't make much of any difference. That said I am not...

I get a bit like Crissy describes this time of the year as well. The "fog" pops in every once in awhile for a short period, but generally is in a much milder form. As for the depression I think...

I use a mild blended expression most of the time and use stereotypical feminine colors most of the time. Mostly it is women's sweatshirts, T shirts, and the like. And my mask has a flower pattern...

What an amazing thread!!! Looks like going public is the watershed moment. But also a recognition that there was a lot that often goes before the stepping out that leads up to that threshold moment...

I am so sorry to hear about this development in the lives of you and your wife. As for experience, I am a survivor of prostate cancer, my wife recently had a hysterectomy because of cancer being...

I think you got it Carla. Most of us carry a great deal of guilt that first developed when we were younger and had "strange feelings and desires." We felt, to some extent, as outcasts and maybe...

I agree, Charlotte. In general women are more accepting of diversity than men. The gender binary thinking has established males as dominant even though that is gratefully being attacked from all...

Please, Katie, don't beat yourself up over it. A decline in the desires and needs can fade during times of life change. Your brain is working out other problems that it perceives are more important....

I think my previous post and explanation of gender behavior and all that is still useful, but now I am seeing something else that may be your wife's main concern. Based on your second post and...

I agree with Helen and Crissy. Be careful about making accusations on the basis of assumptions. That is a dangerous road. I like Maria's idea that perhaps the management cleaned out the wrong storage...

Congratulations, Maria, on reaching the open communication with your wife about your gender variance and the implications of that on your lives together. That is a huge step in the right direction....

I am very much the same no matter how I am dressed. It is nice to be expressing that female-like part of my identity, but that part of the identity exists no matter how I am dressed or even if I am...

I think most people are pretty much on autopilot and seem to be amazingly unaware of their surroundings. That said, I suspect they are a bit nervous if they see someone expressing what appears to be...

I think the clean and smelling nice is likely the main conscious reason. I use a women's shampoo and body wash and that creates what registers with me as an appropriate clean female odor. OK, that is...

Geena, your wife may be ruminating on the subject and assessing the possibilities. A lot of women and a good number of men do that when dealing with a complex, unexpected situation. It is like...

All suggestions about lighting are good and lighting does help as Teresa has pointed out before. But one of the major points is included in Krisi's post. Perception is what it is about that which...

Following Taylor's recommendation is a good choice. Personally, I would find a psychiatrist as they are an MD as well and it seems to me that would carry the strongest weight with the insurance...

I tend to agree with Teresa that there is a practical reason to keep around some male clothes. Not because they are male, but they are really good for rummaging around in filthy conditions. Of...
