Crossdressing noob... help?

[Thornton]

Now see, I didn't know that about you, lil' bro! Maybe if you'd post a picture every once in a while...:D

yeah, I kinda figured I was the token black guy around here...and, to post a picture, it kinda helps to own a camera.

so yeah about the terminology... crossdressing vs FTM vs transgender vs whatever... I'll admit I have no idea what I'm talking about. Tried researching it via google, but it all just confused me really. So I don't know what I am, I just know how I feel =P

Yeah, I've been collecting information for a couple years now, and I know I still haven't learned everything. Only a couple months ago, I learned transsexual and transgendered are not the same thing...have fun researching!

okay. no ace bandages. check. I'm so glad someone told me. Aquiring special-made compressing items is going to be a bit difficult until I break it to my mother about this whole thing. I don't even know what I'm going to say yet.

Just a suggestion, you could send out a money order for a binder and have it shipped to a friend's house....
As for your mom, I suggest waiting til after you've done a little research and convey to her with the correct terms and evidence, just how you feel

Gothic pants have lots of pockets =D

Yes, I remember those pants...very useful when it came to carrying stuff...also very annoying when I got stuck on every chair I sat in...

Mens underwear? *shrugs* I've kinda always wanted to wear boxers.

:gfi: the reason I ask is because some transguys pack their underwear (briefs) with specially made packers, or just a sock, to get a realistic looking bulge there. I'm a boxers man myself, so I don't...but if I'm going too far too fast on this, just ignore me.

Thanks so much for all of your help. I posted similar questions on other sites and didn't get nearly as much suggestions. I definately came to the right place. This has cheered me up so much. Thank you!!!

Yeah, we just kick ass like that.
