"Im so tired of needing to always be a man"

[Aprilrain]

I lived as on overcompensating closeted CD off and on for 40 years of my life,

Paula, isn't it fair to say that you only thought you were a CDer? perhaps even hoped you were a CDer! but in reality you were TS... right? I mean, CDers don't just suddenly become TSes, you either are or you are not. That being said can you see that your experience would be different than your average CDer who is OK with being a guy?

Anyway I think Misty makes some good points.
