Thank you all for your comments and concerns. I have an excellent doctor and access to specialists so I'm not worried about my breasts from a medical standpoint. I'm happy as I am and wouldn't...

My primary care doctor examined my breasts because one of them had become quite tender when pressed or bumped. She sent me for a mammogram which I had last week, and my diagnosis was gynecomastia...

I was drafted into the Army in 1965 and lucked out being sent to West Germany instead of Viet Nam. I was trained at Fort Gordon for MOS 95B10 but did clerical work so MP became my secondary MOS. ...

A black friend of ours once told us that she keeps her money in her bra when going home after dark. She called her bra "the First National Bank of Africa" -- we thought that was the funniest thing...

What an uplifting story! I would cry but have forgotten how. Best of luck to you... I agree with her, you are beautiful.

Radina, what a thrill your adventure must have been! Like many others here I'm a private cross dresser and underdresser so I'll just say more power to you. If I were 40 years younger I'd look more...

Yes, it is for me -- discounting my wife's discomfort with possibly having to answer friends' questions about my alter ego if I were to be more public. I'm only 10 to 15 pounds over my ideal weight...

I haven't been out except to a few Tri-Ess meetings a number of years ago. It was very difficult for my wife although she gave me the freedom. Now I underdress every day and have been pushing the...

For years in male mode I filled my pockets with keys, wallet, change purse, hankie, etc, and overflowed into a tote bag with my book (always reading), my lunch and my little camera. Now I carry most...

I've never been that furry anyway but initially shaved my legs because it was kind of a thrill. Now in my senior years I have about six hairs on my right knee and shave them off periodically even...

Erica Marie, I think you were compassionate not to tell your dad in the last year of his life. My dad had advanced dementia in his final years and my mom had drug-resistant depression, so I asked...

Bless you all for your accepting mates and your good fortune. My situation has not changed but I look forward to the day.

I would have to ask my wife first -- but for that money, if she said yes, I'd spend a year as Laura, and perhaps forever.

I was en femme waiting for a train, and the teenage boys on the opposite platform called out "hey mister!" I glanced their way, thereby revealing my gender, and nothing more was said. But it did...

I posted an email recently to my brother who knows nothing about Laura, and mistakenly sent it out from my Laura mailbox. As you can imagine there was a bit of confusion since my brother knew from...

As an underdresser I can only say that wearing panties and a bra makes me feel more comfortable in my own skin even though I present as a man. I feel more outgoing and friendly, more likely to...

I was a virgin till I was 20 and in college, but not because of CDing which I hadn't even thought of at that time. I was very shy; I sought sexual acceptance in college because I was so insecure...

Warm weather has come at last in Chicago, and with it comes shorts season. My legs are very white and I'm self conscious about them... all last summer in shorts they never got browner. So yesterday...

I bloomed in my 30s nearly 40 years ago and have been mostly in denial since then... but underdress now, and dream of being out in the world as Laura. I'd say loneliness and stress were my...

I second everyone's praise and congratulations. "My heart soars like a hawk."

Crossdressing is much easier and less permanent than going through sex reassignment or the other options you've mentioned. Am I missing something obvious in your question?

Sallee, I've also had shoulder surgery but not when Laura was part of my life. Heal quickly and be well.

Besides being a sexual thrill for me (and that has waned considerably over the years) I haven't really analyzed my crossdressing urges with anyone. Discussions like this one are really helpful but I...

I think Cheryl T has hit it right on the button for me. I convince myself that being seen doesn't matter which makes me feel more free -- but if someone comes close to seeing me then I panic and...

The most valuable advice here for me is to avoid coming down on my heels first. That's natural for me but dangerous, as I've fallen backwards on ice many times resulting in a broken arm once and a...
