Nobody cares. TSA people are just trying to get through another low-wage, dead-end shift without any planes falling out of the sky. Oh, regarding the ID, I dont look like my ID for a split second....
There's a difference between discomfort and physical harm. Different people have different tolerances for discomfort, most can get used to just about anything with time. In terms of causing physical...
If you go out in public and interact with humans while dressed, you fall under the trans umbrella because you are putting yourself out there in a manner that the average observer cannot easily...
Been tucking for two decades. No issues whatever - except - a couple of times when I became unexpectedly aroused while tucked. Ouch. Fortunately, that has only happened a couple of times.
The biggest game changer in CDing is a wig. It changes your entire face and can make you unrecognizable, especially when paired with good makeup. So, going out as a man in a dress with no wig or...
I think a point many of us miss is that women, born cis women, are constantly being stared at, oogled, objectified, and judged based entirely on looks. So, there is a very good chance that when we go...
Way too much information. The person requesting the accommodations was clearly enveloped in pink fog. The prospective host is trying to rent a unit, not guide a random guest into womanhood. Way too...
So, I belong to an Airbnb Host Group and we exchange advice, ideas, etc about running our AirBnBs. Just a few days ago, a fellow host posted the following gem. Talk amongst yourselves:
Should I...
I'm sure you have your reasons to avoid going out and that's fine. What I found was that those individuals you describe are actually few and far between. The vast majority of people simply do not...
I once drove from New England ro Florida looking all pretty in a nice outfit. Never again. There's a reason why so many American women walk around looking like they just rolled out of bed: comfort!!!...
Those are Global Entry or PreCheck subscriptions. They're lifesavers if you travel a lot, whether or not you are dressed.

TSA customer service is hit or miss. There are...
Not sure I would say many states. More like several states. Plus, there are several states where crossdressing is already prohibited by archaic laws. Some random Karen would have to go through the...
I have been out dressed and presenting as a woman for years and have never encountered any hostility or negativity from any woman in any ladies room. Now, if I just slapped on a dress and looked like...
I would suggest that you dress as androgynous as possible while you figure out the office culture. Fitted pants and tops, stuff like that. Someone suggested that you not jump between presenting fem...
Sorry to hear about your mother. Dementia transfers 100% of the suffering to loved ones, which is such a mixed bag.
It's wonderful, and unsurprising, that you did this and came to the decision that you did. However, I highly doubt that Karen left because of you nearly an hour after you arrived.
Common sense does go a very long way. One of the things I have found is that your attire dictates a lot. If you go out into vanilla world wearing a very revealing (or loud) nightclub-style outfit or...
Its very unfortunate that you had to experience that but maybe it's a bit precipitous to quite (or attempt to quit) something so ingrained because of one negative interaction. Sounds like a more...
Reality check for all the Dear Abbys on here: Kimberly was in Tupelo! Not Boston, not LA, not even Nashville. Tupelo, a town of 37 thousand people where nothing significant has happened since Elvis...
A car can be anything from an appliance to a status symbol. For many of us, it's just an appliance that might say something about our personalities. Most of my female acquaintances drive small...
Qll excellent points by Char. There's a reason why you hardly ever see a cis woman out alone at night. Risk assessments! ❤️
Rhonda, trust me. You still have a chance. A million chances. People are much more open or, at tolerant, than ever. Just be yourself and everything else falls into place. I know from experience.
The bud light controversy, much like the constant conversation around gender theory and other aspects demonized by conservative pundits has brought gender issues to the forefront. As someone who...
If you've never dressed in public, you don't pass. If someone tells you that you pass, you don't pass. If you're consumed with passing, you don't pass. That's all for today.
