Congrats on the weight loss, but I think I've found it if you want it back. I've outgrown my corset and will have to duplicate your success because it was an amazing change to my appearance when I...

Congrats on the weight loss, but I think I've found it if you want it back. I've outgrown my corset and will have to duplicate your success because it was an amazing change to my appearance when I...
This dives to the heart of a quandary I'm facing right now. I posted earlier about wanting to get the local LGBT+ center to host a monthly support group for Crossdressers. The only hang-up on their...
For many years we had a local support group that was affiliated with Tri-Ess. That program began to fade as we became more of a diversity group with members who had started to transition or weren't...
Athletes use self-visualization to lock in their moves after they've built a skill set. The idea is to be able to perform their best without thinking of all the little details and therefore building...
I'm 72 years old and started crossdressing in my early teens. I kept it up as often as work, family and other traditional limitations allowed. Finally, almost 2 years ago I finally stopped...
I think a major problem with this kind of question happened when Transgender became a synonym for Transexual in many people's minds. I loved the term Transgender as an umbrella term that covered the...
I hid for decades and decades but found I wasn't satisfied or fulfilled dressing in the closet. I eventually found a support group that I joined but they only got to see the Sarah side of me until I...
I'm glad to see that you've found the forum. There is a lot of experience here and if you continue to read and post questions/responses you should find many others facing the same issues you are...
Marcie, I'm sorry to hear of your wife's passing. My wife passed away just over 8 years ago and the grieving process was mixed with a lot of other emotions as I suddenly faced a very different life....
It's been eight years since my wife of 40 years passed away and like Lana Mae I am living full time as I transition. My wife was accepting and supporting but needed attention to deal with her health...
Looking back at when I identified as a cross dresser the hardest thing I had to do was not transition. The battle was to be happy and stay distracted from my gender issue as much as possible until I...
Congratulations Kelly and Jeannie, I wish you nothing but the best as grandparents.
I was a grandparent before I was out and well before I started my transition, so inertia plays a big part in my...
I used to dress for the thrill and would often fantasize about being caught. However the getting caught was the goal because in the fantasy it would suddenly make it normal to dress as I desired. I...
Phil Vassar with a country take on things in "Bobbi with an I"
The Beatles "Get Back"
Although it doesn't have anything to do with Crossdressing, I've always found K.D.Lang's "Invincible...
Until I was about 6 years old I was oblivious to gender. Since then I've passed through a variety of ways to respond to the feelings I've had. At first I was confused, later I was shocked and...
I worked up to 6 days a few years ago leading up to during and following Diva Las Vegas. This was one more extension over previous "records" and each one of them was followed by strong feelings of...
I grew up in a time that stigmatized all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community and experience, so it did the same to me. There was only one echo chamber available and it was filled with lies and...
There were times when if I didn't have a half a day to dress I'd be thinking twice about even getting started. The anticipation and process of picking the clothing for any particular scenario was...
Our dear Willameda,
Fear not that thy longings shouldst be frowned upon or scorned by the residents of this gentle, eclectic and electrical manor. For those who dwell in this abode, even for the...
I was out only to my wife and after she passed away I was tossed back in the closet. Eventually I realized I needed to tell my adult kids. When I sat down with my daughter and told her, she smiled...
That's a very long time to wait for a resolution and some of us would allow that fear to run our lives. I'm proud of you for not letting that happen! It's always nice to see people can grow out of...
I love hearing this kind of report and it makes me feel so positive for your future. It makes me think the media is less important in the overall trend toward understanding than our individual...
I was a couple years into hormone therapy and out to close family and friends but still closeted to most of the public at the start of the pandemic. I'm full time, out to the world, had my name...
My daughter gave me a Victoria's Secret gift card. A daughter-in-law gave me candy and a pair of earrings. One of my oldest buddies and his wife gave me a Sephora gift certificate and another old...
My thoughts exactly.
