Christelle,
Welcome to TGH. I did not have the supportive wife that you enjoy so please cherish that. I live authentically full-time now and have had the changes you mention from a year of HRT. There are other changes as well and you really do need to understand them before taking such a momentous step. Your wife should be aware too as it dies affect her. If you do get serious about taking that step you should seek out counseling. I don’t know the laws of your country so you should understand them as well.
Hugs, Ambassador Cloe
nice!

Greetings. I’m Tommie Jayne and am 64, originally from Chicago, now living in Tucson, one of the most trans friendly cities in the world. My genitals were operated on when I was a toddler, leaving me with functional male junk and raging GD that I lived with in silence until well into my 40’s, hiding behind a beard and scruffy clothing. My parents simply would hear nothing of it and not wanting to get hit, I shut up and played along as best I could, putting my trust in spirit to heal me when they came to heal the world.
I’ve been living authentically for almost 5 years and on HRT for almost 4. My life has never been better. I’m more at peace with myself and people react to me better than ever and all my arts get stronger every day. I pray that all my transgender siblings everywhere will wake up tomorrow in places as accepting and safe as Tucson.

Hello, i am Christelle. I am French, I am 55, i ve been crossdressing since i was a teen. I have been married 25 years i have a 20 year old daughter. My wife knew from the beginning and was very supportive throughout our marriage. As of now, i was only wearing lingerie at home or at work under my men s clothes. I Always kept my body smooth and on Week ends, when our daughter was away, i wore my wigs, my shoes, did my nails, Apply make up and felt just great. Now i am divorced and would like to go further. I am not yet ready and confident enough to go out in public as a woman but this is my goal. I am seriously thinking of taking female hormonnes in order to grow a small breast and have my belly fat move to my hips or butt. If anyone went through this, i d love to hear about your story.

Hi, my name is Erikka. I am from a very backward part of northern California where I have not been able to connect with any support groups here. Not sure if there are any in this area. Eleven months on HRT. Gaining confidence with who I am and beginning to smile again.
I have so many questions and observations about transitioning and until now only being able to discuss stuff with my psychiatrist and my therapist who are great but not really up-to-date about trans.

hello every one my name is Lucinda, i also have joined cross dressing heaven. i started x dressing when i had to wear a pair of tights in a school play i was hooked. later in years my x dressing went away then came back again but stronger. i have now accumulated my own collection of dresses and panties,bras, nylons, make up, perfume, ear rings, necklace, some heels. my wife found out later in life and lets me dress up but only when our last adult child is still living home, when he is out working wife lets me know i can do what i like to do and dress up. i am already 1/2 dressed up and all i had to do is make up and perfume and ear rings and necklace and heels. wife seen my collection and told me i have more then she does. wife seen me dressing up a few times and talked to me about something and then went to living room, she will not help with make up or let me sit in same room as her and talk like 2 woman. well that’s a short introduction about me and how i got started . i do under dress allot during winter, keeps me warm when i go out side. but nothing like wearing female clothing and being free and happy

Hi everyone!
I’m Kris. Mid 40’s transwoman from Texas but just recently relocated to the Knoxville area. I’m considered tall at 6′ but it helps make me even that much more unique. I love laughter and looking for the humor in things. I enjoy playing music, especially with others.
Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Welcome to TGH, Kris! I hope Knoxville is treating you well. Being unique is one of the best parts of being trans. I’m at the point where I gladly tell people I am.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>We share similar thinking regarding others knowing we are trans. I actually prefer everyone know. I’d rather remove the elephant from the room and tackle and whispers or confusion regarding who I am. I live with zero shame or guilt and enjoy leaving a good impression rather the misinformed ones most have. Countless times people have approached me explaining I (and other trans women) are nothing like they thought or had been told we were. I tell everyone…”I live in a glass house. Ask whatever is important to you. ” That tends to put everyone on the same level and allows for dialogue to aid in dispelling the many incorrect myths that surround the trans community.</p>
And unlike a lot of transwomen, I don’t place high importance on “passing”. I sincerely don’t care who knows I was born Male. For years I lived in a fantasy land that all transwomen had to “pass”, no exception. Now however, I have come to despise the word “past based on how many believe like I used to. The term itself is harmless but extremely sad when you realize how many get all caught up believing it’s a must. I have friends that are having self acceptance issues regarding this one area. It truly breaks my heart to see my peers beat themselves up about it.I don’t care if I pass. I don’t care if I don’t. I do however, care about my genuine happiness and use that as fuel to deal with those who notice me and struggle with accepting it.

Hi everyone! I’m Becca, my husband is transitioning to a female full time. I came here in the hopes of some support. This is hard for both of us and our children but we are on the road to his happiness. I’ve known for 4 years, right after our second son was born. At first I decided that I’ll support him in every way but I’m not attracted to women so we can’t be together. After many years and lots of research.. I changed my mind and decided it was stupid to leave over a physical change when he’s still the same person. I have many fears.. for example, what if he wants to be with a man instead one day? ATM we are packing up and moving across the country where people don’t know him as a man.. which is huge and scary.

Hi Becca, thank you for seeing through to your husbands heart. You are one very special couple and blessed to have each other. We hope your spouse will join us here as well. For you there a number of other significant others (SO’s) such as yourself that are here. I’ll have one of our SO leaders reach out to you.

Hi
I am Annie. I am here to meet new friends whether they be trans or ally. I am an aspiring political activist and I hope to make the world a better place for trans people. I figure I’d start by offering support to any who desire or need it, or who just want it. I’m not complaining either way.

Hey im Jasmin 33 of Ohio looking to meet new friends n need advice on transitioning full time
2 users thanked author for this post.
Hi Jasmine!
Glad you’re here! I am fairly new here myself but everyone seems to be very kind and loving. I am also fairly new in transition so if you hear any awesome or helpful tips please do share. One thought that i try to keep in mind is that I don’t have to accomplish a complete transition in one day, I remind myself to just love whatever amount of femininity that I have today and maybe tomorrow I will find/express more.
Hope to hear more from you
Tami

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I’m pleased to meet you all. I knew i wass in the wrong body at the age of 7 yrs old. I came out when I was in the US ARMY when I was 28. Now at 40, its been a very long struggle to hold on. Ive been disowned by everyone that I know of. Friends, family, so called friends. Hopefully I have found the right place to make friends. I doesnt feel very good being alone.

Hello I came out at 14 and again at 40. I am a transitioned transgender female. My records at the clinic say female. I have not had surgery, as an intersexual I doubt I need i. I believe in just being feminine naturally. There is no rule to having to be a part everyday. I have make up but wear it sometimes. I have dresses but wear skirts and women’s shorts and pants. I do wear panties and bras my bust size on hrt defined my transition. I am a happy camper but have to keep my eyes open about bullies living in the Bronx.

Robben,
Sorry I missed this when you first joined. One step at a time we are changing the worlds perception of who we are. Bullying is as old as any other form of hate and has very little chance of going away as long as there are humans but getting it to where they’re more afraid to bully than not is an achievable goal.Hugs, Cloe
Just joined Transgender Heaven. First, you should know that I predate computers. Yes, I am that old. Which means I easily get lost dealing with computers now. Next, terminology is confusing. There are 100% males and 100% females, with hundreds of labels for all of us that are inbetween. My doctor calls me a crossdresser, because he is required to place a label. OK. I am male with a lifetime of thinking maybe a mistake was made and I should have been a girl.

Hi John. Labels are overrated anyway. I’m happy just being called transgender and consider all the flavors to be one big family to me.

Hi,
I signed on a while back but sort of forgot about this. I have been dressing in femme attire since I was a little kid. My sister used to give me here older clothing. I am discrete about things but go out occasionally. Hope to have more to say. I will try to get a picture, but I am not entirely the most pretty of the T-girls in the world.

Hi everyone,
Like so many here I am just starting on my personal journey to discover who Steph is. I have begun this journey later in life (I’m 58 as I write this) than some, but still looking forward to making new friends and discovering more about myself in the process. My first experience being en femme (just a couple of years ago now) was such a revelation that I realised I need to be Steph. Hence my TG journey. There have been many stops and starts but I know that I will get there (wherever ‘there’ is).

What an exciting journey to start! The further I get along my path, the more I realize that ‘there’ is ‘here’ and each step is filled with it’s own beauty. There is really no destination 🙂

Hi everyone!! So blessed to find this community. I so look forward to meeting all of you and seeking your advice and counsel as I continue my journey in accepting my true feminine self and becoming the woman I am meant to be. My current photo reflects who I am on the inside. I know that I won’t achieve that completely but with your love and guidance I can maximize the woman in me. Thank you all for being here.

Hello Vanessa.
Thanks for the welcome words. I am sorry that I cannot join the chat as the costs would be too much for me on a yearly basis. As I ma retired I have to look at my expense in another way than I did whil was still working. I hope that any answers to my messages here will be announced to me on my e-mailaddress. I will continue to listen and answer and offer help when I can.
Again thanks for accepting me in spite of the many trouble there has been with my tries to be accepted. As ypu can se that I use the real first name and not the one that due to a typing error was on my first try to get accepted.
All the best for you Vanessa

Hi. I’m Christina. I live in Edmonton Alberta. I’m hoping to find other trans people that I can get to know. I’m still in the closet, itching to get out… But I have a lot to lose if/when I do.
I understand about being in the closet when doing this stuff, I am double nickel myself and only let a small group of folks know I crossdress. and feel the same that I stand to lose a lot at coming out. well take care. Denise.

Hi All,
I feel honoured to be part of a new exciting place to feel safe and continue with my journey knowing that everybody has pretty much the same objective in life…… to be themselves!.
I am based in the UK and am quite a way into the NHS pathway system to the point of now journeying through my real life experience. January 2019 is the next milestone as hopefully my referral to Edinburgh for GRS pre assessment quickly approaches.
I am always free to answer any questions about my journey so far. I started self medication, went through a private bridging service, started on the NHS pathway and learned a lot of lessons on the way. I believe my story is going to be published regarding my experience of using GenderGP and Dr Webberley’s services in August and will keep everyone updated as to when it appears on the website.
With love and best wishes.

In the old time radio show Allen’s Alley starring Fred Allen, there was a character named Mrs. Nussbaum, meaning “nut tree.” Perhaps the character or the tree is what is referred to.

Welcome Christina!
I’m glad you’re here!
I have a theory about why I’m the way I am. When my Father came home from World War Two, I was conceived. I chose my parents, had my life planned, and was going to be a girl named Diane. Something went wrong, and I died before I could live. It’s just not fair! I was stillborn.
When I went back to heaven, I was not a happy camper! I complained and insisted I get my chance to live.
In the scheduling department I was told that the next child to be born in that family would be a girl, but that slot was already filled. That one became my older sister, Jean.
The slot for the child after that was still open, but it would be a boy. At that point I didn’t care, I wanted to live, so I said I’d take it.
And, here I am. A male with a female soul. Maybe I should have thought it through, but I didn’t.
As a little boy, I would rather play with paper dolls than a baseball. Oh, I tried to do boy stuff, but, I was just never any good at it. As I got older, I was always more comfortable around girls than other boys, and that continues to today.
Now, I’m fairly old, and have finally decided to live for me. Now I accept who and what I am, and don’t care what anyone else thinks. It’s just a shame it took me so long to reach this stage.
You all know me as Paige Turner, but, I’m also quite comfortable as Paul F. Duvall Jr. too. I don’t consider them separate people, they are just blended parts of myself, now. I’ll answer to either name, as well as Noosebomb, which Wendy calls me, and Noose, which all my other friends call me. They’re all me, and I’m all them.10 users thanked author for this post.
