Felix, long time my old friend.
I am pleased that things are finally beginning to gel for you. Man you have been through hell and back and deserve a break. I am sure it will all work out soon...

Felix, long time my old friend.
I am pleased that things are finally beginning to gel for you. Man you have been through hell and back and deserve a break. I am sure it will all work out soon...
I teach (in a very testosterone fueled program) and have many times "dressed down" meaning nothing overt. Sure some of the guys noticed but nothing was said to me or the administration (it would be...
A time ago I would have described myself as a feminist but today I prefer the term humanist in that I truly believe in equal rights for everyone (except if I dont agree with you...:tongueout) ...
Sometimes the best support comes from where we least expect it. My daughter has become my No 1 supporter for sure. It is a great feeling isnt it Felix?
For me, the lines of communication are...
Nature vs. Nurture. There has never been any empirical evidence to prove nurture has anything to do with either sexual or gender orientation/preferences. This goes deeply into the theories of our...
To inject a tiny bit of humour... The green eyed monster might be assuaged with some pink?
I can totally relate Felix. I have been going through a tough time too but my circumstance is the...
Hi Dani,
A major problem with many psychologists is their adherence toward Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. It doesnt work with transgender. You need a therapist who takes a Humanist Existentialist...
Funny, but I never really chose it. It has been with me forever and the odd part is that I never new anyone by that name when growing up. So where it came from I am not quite sure. Still it suits...
One word: Therapy!
Sounds like your (ex) wife is using the crossdressing to deflect any of her own responsibility for the marriage breakdown. Been there and I refused to accept that from mine. She changed her tune.
...
I really dont know why the Gay/Lesbian thing has to enter into this. The only real connection we have with them is that they preceeded us in gaining their rights and "acceptance" such as it is...
I think you answered your own question. DO THEY NEED TO KNOW?
I came out to my daughter recently due to a set of circumstances that really dictated it. My son still doesnt know because the...
Kim, this vacuums big time.
Neither you or your wife did anything wrong or to deserve this kind of venom sprouting from a small and ignorant mind. Your wife has been a supporter and you two have...
The real tell all will be if they find and convict the perpetrator(s). Whether the point that she was TG is raised at sentencing is the real litmus test.
So it really is a double edged sword...
This is not unlike what the LGB community faced a few decades ago. It changed of course but that was because of strong political and pressure on the media.
It is necessary to get the message out...
UCLA researchers found a genetic link (evidentiary) that ties TS to genetics. Their research has been duplicated giving it some validity but still no definitive beyond doubt tie. Regardless, the...
There are more than a few guys who are enamoured of us because we are TG. Personally I wouldnt let it go any farther unless you are prepared for a relationship (short term or longer term) and all...
Wendy, as you know I absolutely abhor labels because there is such a crossover between each little box.
As far as I am concerned we are all transgendered. The only real distinction is between...
I am so so very sorry to hear this. Unfortunately it is a repeating story and there really is nothing any of us can do about it.
I hope you can come out of this okay. She sounds like she needs a...
Yes Lily. EST was commonly used right into the late 60's but Harry Benjamin had a lot of influence on changing the path of "treatment". Behavioural modification was also commonly used and just as...
PLEASE take a few minutes to reflect on those who have suffered violence and lost their lives for no other reason than being transgendered.
:praying:

Yes, my mother knew, oh how she knew! I was about 3 when I received my first "correction" of behaviour. After a couple more times I definitely learned to go in the closet.
When I was 5 I was...
Wow, you people are scary. Makes me wonder who or where the criminals are. Thank god I live in a country where gun control is strict. Most of you would be breaking the law here in the great white...
Katie, I am surprised at your position. As a martial artist of 30+ years I was taught and did the same to my students that you only use force as a last resort when you have absolutely no choice. ...
It is 2:30 am, you have hugged your best girlfriend goodbye as she got into a cab to go home after a wonderfully fabulous night of clubbing. You walk down the street, only a couple of hundred feet...
