Out of the dark ages, (concluded)

Angela Booth April 3, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 3

My confidence was high now, but I hadn’t told any friends or any work colleagues. This seemed to be an area that was difficult for me to face. Some of these people I’d known most of my life. However, I had thought about it and an opportunity presented itself one day when ...

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...

Out of the dark ages. (Part one)

After my years of denial, I realized the truth. It came after being dressed (very convincingly, I might add) by girls I worked with for a party. I loved being female. The next phase was how to deal with it. By now, my circumstances led me to rent a place of my own where I could b...

My Navy Suit and French Blue Shirt 2

Christina W February 20, 2020 Friends and Family Situations 5

It’s been too long since I last wrote to you. All of you wonderful ladies have showered me with love and compassion. Thank you so much for that. However, it seems that I only come to you when my heart is broken or when I don’t know how to cope with my secrets. Eightee...

Finding Your Way

April King January 16, 2020 Am I Transsexual?, Friends and Family Situations, Going Full Time 10

I am sitting here, having a nice glass of wine, contemplating my future. I am a torn individual. OK with my male life, yet wanting more. I just feel more alive when I am April, yet I am so self conscious of my appearance. I know I do not pass and while I am OK going out part time...

Puberty and the dark ages

Angela Booth December 6, 2019 Friends and Family Situations 2

After my ramblings about my early years, I am continuing on my next stage…Puberty. As a teenager, I’d outgrown any clothes that I had access to, and I still lived at home. I was a young male with testosterone coursing throughout his body. My friends and activities were ve...

Patience

Stephanie November 27, 2019 Friends and Family Situations 1

Coming out to my parents was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It was the last wall to climb in truly accepting myself and in my coming out to the world. I have always been extremely close to both my parents; well, maybe not always. They’ve always been my parents...

It started with a pair of tights

Lucinda Hawkins August 31, 2019 Friends and Family Situations 8

My mother wanted a girl when I was born. My mom put tights on me on for a family picture day. From then on, I knew that I was supposed to be a girl. I started out dressing in my grandmother’s dress. All dressed up made me feel human. My desire to crossdress went away for se...

Why Am I So Afraid to Tell My Wife?

Christina W June 6, 2019 Friends and Family Situations 11

It’s been many months since I’d last seen my therapist; her name is Kelly. She’s one of us, and she’s great at making me feel comfortable in acknowledging who I am. But… she said that it’s time to tell my wife. I know that I need to; I’m sure...

Being a Bridge To Someone

Cynthia S February 28, 2019 Friends and Family Situations 7

When I hear a song that speaks to my heart, I tend to relate it to life experiences-both my own and others’. The other day I was listening to a group singing one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The song is an allegory about life; how we li...
