100% relationships are compromise, but so many of us harbor so much guilt and shame that we are willing to give in on lots of things just to get small snippets of time and space to dress. that's not...

isn't this whole rule #1: 'if the wife isn't happy, no one is happy' kind of thing part of the dated and sexist perspective around gender that we should be trying to break free from? isn't that rule...
this has come up a few times, and i think browsing through some of those older threads might help too.
it really depends on so many things, and i think you can see that there's a pretty wide range...
What a beautiful recap of your first year, Honey! I've been working on this side of me with my partner too for more than a year and we haven't gotten to the point you are at now, but reading your...
I think you've gotten lots of great feedback here, Lizzie. Being honest with your wife is so important and always communicating will be the best way for the relationship to move forward. I know...
i don't think you're crazy at all, alenko. as lots of folks have mentioned, this sounds totally reasonable as a response, especially since you're relatively new to dressing and expressing your femme...
awesome for you, victoria! congrats and it sounds like a super fun night.
i'm in seattle too. you get up here often? i've gone to support groups and the occasional bar, but dinner and a show...
wow. this story just absolutely fills my heart with joy and helps me inch a little closer to believing that i can be me in the world.
thank you for sharing alex/emily. your courage to take steps...
I think that seeing connections between being bisexual and trans is as much a problem as folks who link being gay to trans. they're two totally different things. do they have overlap with certain...
This topic has come up before and it tends to push people to one side or the other of the issue. Ultimate, it's up to you what you decide is best for you and your partner, Kas. I told my children...
I think the answer to this question kind of depends on what Jordan means to you in life. Is she a fun occasional expression of your femme side? Is she something deeper and more important in relation...
Hi Elizabeth, I just came across your post on another site and commented there, but thought I'd chime in here too.
I think micki's advice is totally solid. take it slow. move with your wife on...
I have struggled with my gender identity my entire life, and it's primarily because I was raised with very clear notions of what is masculine and what is feminine. That men had certain roles and...
I would echo the many experiences about first time at a support group. Everyone at the group I headed to was really nice! but I also just didn't connect with the gals there. I headed back a couple...
I don't think it's necessarily an age thing either, but I do think it's a circumstance and stage of life type of thing that brings desires to the forefront. I think as some other folks have...
Thank you for all you do, Bree. Both for our country, but also in supporting trans folks in the military now. I've always been amazed by what seems to be a disproportionate number of trans ladies...
i'd suggest couples counseling. find a therapist that you know is experienced working with trans/gender issues and discuss your dressing in a space where you'll have a mediator. definitely get this...
awesome for you and your family, nikki. i've tried to be honest with my kids, and i think being open with them helps to teach them pride, strength, and honesty. i know it wasn't an intentional...
Awesome. I identify as bigender, and definitely feel like there's some difference between that and identifying as gender fluid. It's subtle, but I think it's a distinction that's important to me.
...
absolutely. i get the same feeling from time to time, Camille. My shoulders are broad. I'm too tall. I have no hips. My face is too masculine. Nothing that helps me appear feminine. But then I...
I'm in the PNW too, and I see the outfits you mention most places I go. However, I also think it depends on when you're out and where you're out. I'll see lots of ladies downtown in skirts and...
what an awesome story to read first thing in the morning! love hearing about your friend and how she has supported you jocelyn. you're a lucky gal. i've got a similar friendship with someone who has...
What great news, Tiffany. Congrats on expanding your circle and finding support amongst your friends. Hope that lunch and shopping goes well!
Christina, I'm behind you and I agree with every word you've rattled off. The comment was totally sexist. Totally inappropriate. It reinforces a patriarchial sense of entitlement and the idea that...
Can't wait to hear the details of your time out in girl mode! As a former Chicago girl, wold love to hear where you headed!
