Member Introductions

Hello, my name is Elain and I am happy to make your acquaintance. I currently reside in Eastern Washington in one of the larger cities on that side of the state. I found TGGuide through a person I know on FB who is also here. As I am always very interested in finding and meeting people who actually have a clue about the things I am dealing with I felt that joining would be a good thing. Politically I am on the liberal side of the spectrum. Socially I tend to be isolate. Spiritually I am Pagan. I am far better at interacting with computer systems than I am with people. I like to joke that I am a Trans-Hat (If you know what that means, props, if not... you don't want to kno…

Well here's me. 43 years old and finally moving where I know I should be. Married, but that is changing soon, dad of 3. Been on HRT since the end of March 2015. Other than how slow things seem I love every part if this. I am vocal in twitter and Facebook. And from the encouragement of my sisters actually started a timeline with photos. Next step is YouTube vids. I attend Gender Alliance of South Sound meetings in Tacoma, WA. Have also attended PFlag meetings. And well cannot think yet of what else to add. Looking forward to exploring this site.

hi I am new to the site I am male who is attracted to women and transgender women. I have joined this site to chat to people both transgender, admire and crossdressing.

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; 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 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 everyone, i am Nicole... wanting say hi and i am taking the big big step going to my doc for the consultation before starting on hrt in the morning and i am a nervous wreck at the moment debating if i should be my self and show up dressed or not ...

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, Everyone... I'm new to the site and just starting out again on my transition journey for the second time. I'm looking forward to getting to know some new people and sharing in this crazy trip of change. Michelle

Hi .D I'm Dani from Italy. I'm 40 years old and I've always be a female. No matter anything else

I am Allie from Mooresville, NC. I have been on hormones for a number of years. I have embraced my new life, and now I am looking for friends. Please stop by to say hi.

hello everybody, my name is George I am a 41 year old male. I am from Northeast Ohio in the good old USA. I joined the site because I just started dating a girl who has just started her transition, and I really want it to work out so I plan on seeking advice from this community. I look forward to hearing from lots of you!

Hello everyone! I am a big supporter of the community. For the last few years I've been working with my own son. He is going to be five and I know that is very young, so we are not making any decisions. I am just supporting who he is by letting him express himself anyway he chooses. We have had to stand behind him and inform people that toys don't have gender and that he is allowed to play with and wear what he wants. He is young so I do not know what the future holds. This could be a phase but since it's been going on since 2 I doubt it. Either way, whatever he chooses, I just want to be the best mom ever. I will be by his side always. A little support and understanding…

My name is Chris i am from Alaska , i am a fan of crossdress.Nice to meet you

I am a man who should have been born a girl. As a child I did not like boy play; I preferred girl’s styles; and I was an avid reader including reading all of the Little House on the Prairie books written from Laura’s point of view. I could not play boys sports and struggled to fit in with groups of boys. For example at summer camp, I spent all of my time doing crafts. Later, in high school I adapted managing to fit in as a male, but was never really popular because I was not masculine enough. Dating was a nightmare. I hated to be the one to ask girls out and be rejected, oh to have been the girl instead! In college these issues became less important. I remember b…

Hello folks... yep, I don't always log onto my pc and use iPhone a lot, which is great, but fiddly - an excellent excuse to procrastinate! Ian here, Manchester England. If I have to use a 'label' then I'm Cis Male... or CisHet male... take your pick... personally I don't like it because I either think of 'Sissy' or 'Cystitis' - the former not applicable, and the later is not something I want thank you! Anyhow... here's a bit about me. I'm now in my 40s (see... told you I was a 'dude' - a girl doesn't speak of her age lol) but when in my early teens I enjoyed cross dressing... and this at the time made me question who I was... I did consider transitioning but having be…

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!

Hey every body, I admire women sky high. I feel I should have been one. Pretty face, sweet voice, long hair, gentle nature, friendly ness, ear rings, bangles, high heels what not, tempt me to be lady. ( I know, you can understand, I am born male.) I am pro feminist guy. I conduct women empowerment sessions. In my child hood, I spent with girls, more than playing with boys. I weep while watching movies, seeing suffering by one or other character. I scored 76 out of 80 in EMPATHY Test on line. Kindly suggest me Tests on line to know my true identity. Feminism is humanism. I believe that women are special creation, women should be appreciated, admired, respected, supported a…

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

Greetings, I'm very new to this so forgive me. I'm a transgender, born a male and thinking of transitioning to female. I'm married with children and 37 years old. I don't know what else to say other than any advise, suggestion or help would be great. I don't have a social outlet so I guess this is it, so thanks for reading and responding.

hello everyone my name is Renee Marie I live in Houston Texas I'm a transexual female
