Sabrina MacTavish September 24, 2020 Am I Transsexual? 2

At what point does someone say, “I’m ready” or “I never will be.” More importantly, does there even need to be a declaration? I have been graciously blessed to be part of this community, first as a member on CDH and then on this site, and now as both sites’ Managing E...

My Transgender Irony

Gina Harper August 31, 2020 Emotional Transition 5

On the day I was born, in a small-town hospital, I made the front page of the local newspaper. It was a rare day indeed as there were eight babies born on the same day, breaking the previous hospital record of 5 births on a single day. But would you believe that seven of tho...

SophieFR July 6, 2020 Emotional Transition 0

Ellie’s Transition Journey

Ellie Mae June 9, 2020 Emotional Transition 6

My earliest recollection of wearing women’s clothing was when I was a young child of 5 or 6. My family was on vacation in Minnesota vising my Aunts, Uncle, cousins and others. I got into my mom’s suitcase and put on a bra and girdle then paraded around in the living room in f...

SophieFR March 22, 2020 Going Full Time 0

While drifting through the grand mélange we call the web, somehow I suddenly found myself at the home page of this site. Occasionally things happen for a reason, the right place at the right time kind thing. So I paused to have a brief look over the site and then moved on to som...

Out of the dark ages…continued

Angela Booth March 17, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 3

I asked a lot of questions about myself, and whether I wanted to undertake surgery. At this time being T.G. was still a bit taboo, and the environment I worked in would have made it very difficult, so I stayed where I was. However, I was beginning to look acceptable and knew my s...
