I really relate to this statement. I'm going to give this some intentional thought.
A few months I posted that I finally made an appointment to be evaluated for PTSD as a result of my career field. By the second appointment I was diagnosed with chronic PTSD, and based on my...
Guilt and shame is what we feel when we have done something wrong, or we believe we've done something wrong. The problem for some of us is that we struggle with self acceptance and shedding the...
I see your point but some things are so egregious that I think there is an obligation to speak up. In the case that prompted my post the person was advocating sexual assault on transgendered persons.
I was just on Facebook in one of my hobby related groups and a person posted a rather descriptive comment about what he would do to a "tranny". I respectfully called him out and told him the...
Have you considered that you may both be correct? What has turned out to be true for you from a young age may not be applicable to the larger population. There was a time when I was very young that...
You make an interesting point about not revealing crossdressing to your counselor. I'm debating whether or not I want to reveal that as well. The only reason not to is that crossdressing is not the...
The most effective way for me to lose weight is to count and track daily calorie intake.
I hear what you're saying but really nothing positive happens when you involve your employer in something like this if you intend to stay employed. Simply not worth the risk so I'll let my insurance...
I'm not sure how many of you have experienced this but I thought I'd share in case others have been through this. At age 50 I've finally decided that I need to take action and get my anger under...
Is it just you and the sis in law? My only advice is to be careful that you don't overdo it. I think a lot of people who are initially very accepting can get a little freaked out when they are...
I think the simple reality is that virtually all women would not choose a partner who crossdresses. I think even most women who are in an accepting relationship with a crossdresser would, if being...
Life would be so much easier for me and my wife if I were not transgender so I would have to say it's an affliction.
Crossdressing has been a dark cloud over my life since I was roughly 8 years old. I'm now 50, married, and I still struggle. Although my wife knows and is mostly accepting, I still live every day...
I've done some research in this area because I have a 21 year old nephew who decided he was transexual when he was 17. My wife and I had serious concerns that he was autistic as he was growing up...
RT is clearly Russian government programming but I'm never adverse to viewing material like this if for nothing else it keeps me informed of the world around me. Like anything else you need to asses...
The RT channel (Russia Today) has a trailer on Youtube for an upcoming documentary about people who have regretted transitioning. I'm posting this only because I know many people here would be...
For many of us the fear in going out is being discovered and facing issues at work or in the community. It would be devastating for me and my wife if I was identified as transgender. My career...
People like that aren't worth your time and effort. There is nothing to be gained by getting into an argument and there is zero chance you'll change his point of view. It would have been better to...
I suspect your colleague is like most of us at work. She probably just wants to come to work, do her job, and get along with her coworkers. I advise caution in discussing intimate details with a...
How old are you and your wife? I ask because at some point, after such a long time, I wonder if it's worth the pain that might be caused. At a certain point in life I think we get to the point...
My parents found out I was crossdressing when I was in middle school because my sister came home early from school and caught me dressed. My dad only talked to me about it on the day I was busted. ...
I'm going to say something that might not be popular. This forum is not the appropriate place to seek therapy. None of us have any idea what your history is, what you seek to accomplish, or any...
Same here. Starting while in elementary school I would pretend to be sick so I could stay home from school and dress. I did this often enough that she took me to the doctor to see if he could...
I was going to ask how old you are because you didn't say in your original post and like kimdl93 I assumed you were very young. I sometimes cringe when I read posts like yours, and the responses,...
