New England, in the larger towns and cities is pretty good. All states there but NH have trans protection laws. I have been OUT for over 10 years and have gone anywhere I wanted to with little or no...

If you want to nit pick on everyone's use of language then be prepared for it to be used on you too. You try to speak from the perspective of a woman, but reject that anyone else who hasn't followed...
Because some people do not understand the term does not show that it has lost all meaning. That's an education problem.
And the majority, at least in the past, of trans people who lobbied for the...
But redefine is exactly what you are doing. You denigrate the accepted use of TG as being meaningless. Then say that "woman" is a lived gender identity. That is just another way to redefine the term...
Depending on how one defines the "okay with being a male" part, this is just one more way of saying that you are not trans. I have to state that only YOU can define whether you are TG, TS, Trans,...
I'd have to disagree with the OP and others. I don't think it's that unusual for people to offer compliments to others, especially woman to woman. I do it fairly often, in either mode. And it doesn't...
For your first time out I would recomend jeans. They are the norm for women shopping and you dont need the added stress of trying to navigate this new experience in a skirt. You can try that on your...
Good basic advice but resist labeling this as a fetish. For many of us it is who we are, not what we do. My addition to the young CDs would be to take care of you skin (sunscreen and lotions) and...
Laura, believe it or not, I still get butterflies when going to a new place. And I've been going out since 2005! Going out alone can be very hard. Going out with 1 or 2 friends takes much of the...
US Navy from 1983 to 89. Aviation Electronics Technician, E-6. Worked on the E2-C Hawkeye radar. Didn't really explore this side of me much until 10 years later.
In my case I would have to say that it's much easier if you and the woman are able to grow together and learn about the trans/cd thing. That's what happened with my wife and I. It's more difficult...
My additions....
12. Your hair is very important! Visit a retail wig store with good techs and get them to help you pick a color, style and length that suits you. Then let them style it properly...
I think a few of us came up with a possible solution years ago on this forum. If you can feel the sneeze coming on, exhale and empy your lungs. At that point there is no fuel for the noise. When you...
I have seen one TG at a conference in New England who was paralyzed. She had a power wheel chair and an assistant. She still attended events and got makeovers done.
Very nice for you Isha! It's not unusual to lose friends. I think it is unusual to get them back. He must be a good friend.
Since my first solid experiments were when I was 50 I would say with todays society I would have tried much sooner! I have been going OUT almost 10 years now and I can only imagine how different my...
I posed this question to my wife in that we are planning a renewal ceremony sometime in our future. Her response was "I married you, not her". She and Sally are friends but I am her husband. I had to...
I think there are many common traits of transgendered people. I grew up very shy and introverted. Did not date until college. Did not experience an orgasm til my second year of college. Lost my...
My early years out were daylight or with large groups of girls. My first revelation was after testifying on Beacon Hill in Boston. We all came and left on our own. I spent all day there and when I...
I regret waiting til I was 50 to really investigate Sally. But my wife believes I wouldn't have been ready to handle it when I was younger. She may be right. I am thankful for my ability to...
Taking pictures of things before getting rid of them works for me. You could also take snippets of each and use them for framing or background of an early picture of Melisa.
A have a few online and in real time. If they stay polite we have nice conversations but that's all.
I think many men have sensitive nipples. Mine have always been that way!
My wife says "Well at least you're not boring!"

We've been married 36 years and usually do pretty well. I told her before we were engaged so I definitely encourage early sharing.
