Here's another difference between addiction and gender dysphoria. For example, the treatment for alcoholism, i.e. addiction to alcoholism, is to stop drinking. The treatment for GD is, for some of...
I think it is a fundamental part of being trans - not the positive side, the fog, but rather the negative stuff below the surface.
Consider, if you will, that the feeling you call "pink fog" is not, in fact, euphoria at all. At least that's not what I found for myself. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that in your daily life,...
I spent an enormous amount of mental energy trying to get the girls across the street with whom I played to dress me up like a girl. Sadly, never happened. Darn.
I had to do it the old fashioned...
Most of the guys I know are pretty uncomfortable with swishing around in a dress. I hate to break it to y'all, but I wear dresses every day (I hate jeans), but they are just clothes. I like them if...
@Becky Blue - Am I allowed to answer this question?
1. Most women don't wear men's clothes. They may wear jeans or slacks or blouses that styled after men's pants and shirts, but they are designed a little differently. (Example - try to use the...
The support group I run is open to crossdressers and their spouses, as well as any other gender diverse people and their loved ones. I don't see why these have to be mutually exclusive. My view is...
Neither. Both 1 & 2 would lead me to commit suicide. I can tell you I would without hesitation commit acts of extreme violence to defend myself were someone to try to force me to appear male. Draw...
Some use "Q" for questioning. Generally it stands for "Queer." For example, I have no problem describing myself as a Queer woman.
However you identify - please help us. There are forces in the US waging all out war against trans people right now. The people who hate LGBT - especially T - don't care how you identify. They see no...
SB6 was voted out of committee and released to the senate for a vote yesterday. After 20 hours of testimony, in which hundreds of trans people, trans youth, parents of trans kids, medical,...
Wait until a group of your neighbors attacks you and beats you for being "a fruitcake." I know plenty of people who've been victimized. And lest you whip out your manly-man Kung-fu skills, last...
If you want to know who you'd sound like if you literally went *poof* and became a woman over night, watch Caitlyn Jenner on "I am Cait". She is about as good of a simulation of this in the real...
I have spent 3.5 years, and many thousands of dollars on electrolysis to get rid of my facial hair. (Still not finished *sob*). So take that into account when you read my reply.
I don't have any...
How is it acceptable to be viewed as "some type of fruitcake?" Customers deserve respect, if nothing else.
I think you handled yourself well Jean. You could've told the employee who misgendered...
I hear them in my voice - I don't really think about it much, to be honest. It's just like I read everything else.
More than a lifestyle - it's a change of life. You want to change your lifestyle? Buy a pool or a Harley... ;)
Well bless your heart LilSissyStevie, I was hoping you'd reply! :)
I'm not a transsexual. I don't acknowledge that word. I find it offensive, actually. I reject the condition of being...
I read this to my husband. Heh, he says he is going to be laying awake now, thinking about you! The man likes femininity, what can I say?
@docrobbysherry - mic drop.
Seriously, you nailed it. My jaw dropped when I read your reply. My god.
This is one of the things that suggests this is not entirely a gender identity issue...
Yes, they spy on us. Deep learning AI's are tapped into the cameras in the store and are monitoring what's going on, and adjusting things to make you more prone to buy things based on algorithms that...
@Kim2015 - have you considered the possibility that you want to tell everyone because - wait for it - you are a woman? Even if it isn't that, you are keeping a secret, hiding part of who you really...
You are barking up the wrong tree - you need to look for straight guys. I noticed that as I transitioned, my breasts seemed to emit an invisible, gay man repelling force-field. Of course, it would be...
