well, hello people. I am a recently open, part time dressing, crossdresser? TV? Don't really know the proper term here. I am married with three kids, and since I have finally admitted to myself, my wife, parents, and a few friends, but now I need some social support. My wife and I are now starting the process of separating because she thought this was a phase and is no longer comfortable with it after 4 years. If anyone is from Arkansas and can chat or something I'm trying to talk to different people and see what's out there friendship wise. I don't usually go by Josie. It's just a name I came up with. I'm fine with josh or Josie. Thanks!!!

Hi everyone. As with all of you I'm new here and scared as hell. Scared I'm going to ruin my life, scared I'm go to hurt and ruin my wife's life, scared to be rejected by family and friends, scared, scared, scared. I'm 61 years old and I've always led a very constricted life. Few friends, rarely letting people get close to me. As with a lot of us, things started early. My mother told a 'funny' story when I was in high school to a girl I was trying to get up the courage to ask on a date. She said when I was 3 I came into the room dressed in my sister's cloths and told everyone I was now a girl. She said she thought it was funny but my father got furious and said 'no son…

Hi everyone! First let me say that I hate these introduction things lol. I'm Kayla. I was diagnosed with GID about 5 years ago. I only completed the first 6 months on hormones. I had to drive to Atlanta to see my endocronoglist(sp). My fear of driving in a city that large was more than I could overcome. I'm now back on hormones and have been for 2 months. The hormones have literally saved my life. The internal struggle became more than I could bear. I'm still living as a male when I have to leave home. Work will not allow me to fully transition. I'm 53 years old so hopefully it won't be that long before I do. There is a lot to do before that day arrives. So, please feel …

This is my second time around. Back in the late 90's I was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria. I was married to an extreme Catholic at the time who could never accept that she would be married to a woman. We ended in divorce. Not necessarily a bad thing. I got as far as starting HRT and was living part time as a woman. One of my coworkers outed me and I went to HR to talk about it. HR said they would support me as I transitioned, but shortly I was let go. They tried to tell me that it was just a temporary job, but when pressed on who would do my job, they slipped and said they would have to hire someone. I was able to squeak out a few more months from them as I was completed…

Hi; my name is Connie I'm 57, divorced, and have been wearing pretty things since about 5 years old. Those that know me personally are not supportive at all of us, so I keep things pretty much in the closet. Even at this age I'm still wondering where I fit in in the T spectrum. Anyway its so nice to find a group like this. Thank you for the support! Connie

Hi all, It's only been a few weeks since I decided to transition and I'm a bit nervous. I could recount my story but as I've already done that in a blog I'll just link it here. http://thetranslesbianexpress.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/small-beginnings/ I have a few good friends who support me so I'm luckier than some, but my family would never understand. Thanks for letting me join. Also: Someone really needs to change or remove the Captcha on registration. It took me 20+ tries to join. A less persevering soul might give up.

My name is Karen, a stay home mom to 4 beautiful yet challenging children some with deeper special needs than the other. We adopted our family from the State being foster/adopt home. Adam was 1st to come into our family finalizing adoption when was little over 2yrs. We had him since was 13mths. Once able to walk steadily & a foster daughter came it was game on to try to wear the clothes, shoes, hair stuff we had set aside since she was a newborn. We didn't discourage him & let him express himself. It was really cute till it didn't stop & we saw how different he was from other boys. That point we accepted everything, never shamed him & waited to see …

Hello everyone, As the title says. I am new to cross dressing and I am looking forward to exploring the womanly side of me. I have to admit that I took a few baby steps today in public. I can't believe how free I felt. Thank you and looking forward to any tips you can give me. Sarah

Hi all My name is Tara and I thought I'd drop in to learn what's happening outside my little corner of the world. I had GRS this spring, so i'm able to help with insights about that and the other steps i took through transition. Some of it has been written about in a book recently published. The local paper had an article talking a little about me too. Drop me a line if you have any questions or if you think I can help you otherwise. wishing you well..

Greetings TGguide, both new and seasoned members. I used to come out here many years ago, prior to transition, and, after completion in 2009, I had decided to stay out of the proverbial limelight but thought I'd return just to say hey and see how everyone (if still here from the '04 - '08 days) was doing. I may come round every so often to check in but figured now, on the other side of the fence, felt it may be beneficial to many others whom are where I once started to return to listen and share my experiences in hopes to make that process easier and less solitary for those having a rough go at transition. In the interim, I wish everyone a wonderful Summer and I look f…

I happened to see a link to here in tumblr. I'm a 19 year old college student. The easiest thing is to say I'm a trans guy but life and gender is complicated....over the last year I've socially transitioned at college . I'm not really planning on doing hormones and surgery,at least anytime soon . I'm still struggling with deppression and anxiety a lot .

Gidday from Canada, I was diagnosed, well, more like self-diagnosed so my therapist says, earlier this year which brought me through a "necessary" emotional roller coaster. After much therapy I have come to embrace who I am as I've finally understood I wasn't nuts or insane after 48 years! This brought me to make the decision to move forward with my transition no matter what. I live in beautiful Gatineau, Quebec (yes I'm French) and proud to work for our federal government where I perform a service which helps fellow Canadians. I consider myself extremely lucky to be where I am career wise considering what I have been through during my crazy lifetime! Like most of us…

Hi. I don't really know what to say except that my girl-name is Melody and this is all very new to me. It's only been in the last few months that I've been able to identify the feelings I've had all my life. You all are the first people I've ever told my girl name to. Thank you. It's a relief just to say that. I look forward to meeting and talking to you all. Melody

Hi! My name's not always Monica, but sometimes it is. I've spent too much of my life not crossdressing, either because I thought I didn't want to, had suppressed the desire, or was just more interested in other stuff. But now, you know what? I'm not getting any younger. So now, I'm gonna continue to not get any younger, but do it in a skirt from time to time. In my dude-mode, I am an outgoing, non-drinking, storytelling SF/F nerd. In Monica mode, I am an outgoing, non-drinking, storytelling SF/F nerd in pantyhose and heels. Granted that I'm not in Monica mode very much just yet, but I'm gonna change that. So. Hello. Questions? Comments? I'm here!
