Its crazy how a few posts a day will count up.

I really do not feel that I change in any respect physically or psychologically. As a friend once said, you are the same person you have always been, just with nicer clothes.

I met my second wife via Match many many years ago when it was still a novelty. I confided in her about my dressing early in our dating and she seemed ok with it, but like others preferred not to...

Comments here fall into a few broad, sometimes overlapping categories. Some may at times project their own perceptions onto others, humans do that. We see others through our own lens much more...

I am fortunate in having a female name as my given name, sparing me all those name changing hassels. I would think that as you intend to live close to full time as a woman, making those changes...

At least you are having the conversation and able to share your images with her without adverse consequences. Thats a step in the right direction

Life is full of compromise. Seems like you have a pretty good situation, with a fairly supportive partner and the opportunity to express yourself at home and occasionally in public. Perhaps that...

That was a good conversation to have.

Very glad to hear that last night went so well. Lets hope it sets the stage for future great experiences together.

That is outstanding!

The pandemic and retirement have had some noticeably adverse impacts on my fitness and honestly, i just feel dumpy! Each day I tell myself I am going to get back into gear and resume the battle of...

Congratulations on another positive outing. I am curious how the real life experience has affected your perspective and your self confidence.

Good luck. You can do it!

Its always good to be prepared for contingencies.

Most of my clothing is deliberately casual style in wash and wear materials. I avoid things made of rayon or viskose cause these materials are difficult to maintain.

I was about to write that there is no satisfactory explanation for why we do what we do. That would be wrong. There really there are lots of plausible answers. We just lack any means of testing...

No use worrying. Now that you have shared your secret with these people, it will be up to them to choose how they respond. MIght take some time for their attitydes and the new relationships to...

Congratulations on 16 years! Learning, making friends and dressing more?and lost more clothes?.all good stuff!

Seems like you have a system in mind for rotating your stock, so to speak.

Can you set yourself a budget and stick to it?

I have had a number of experiences being en femme with my my adult stepdaughter and her friends. It really was a non issue for them.

Most of us will acknowledge being something other than passable. Get that Notion out of your head first, then find some outfit that you like and that seems appropriate for the situation. Then...

Yikes! I have no casual connection that I know of, but I have a lifelong tendency to slip into a very dark and deep place from time to time. The frequency and length of these is unpredictable. ...
