Hi everyone. My name is Carol. I'm six years post-op. I was married to my husband for 3 1/2 years when he passed away last June from lung cancer. I'm only now coming out of the lonliness and depession and of the last few months. I was looking around to talk to people who had some long term experience in transition to see how they were getting along. Carol

6 1/2 years on HRT MTF. Live in Florida. Have written a book that will soon be available on amazon - Transgender Internet Reference. Gives links to all kinds of transgender websites. I am in this forum to make friends and maybe chat.

I'm new here, heard about it on Twitter. It'll take a while to get used to, that's for sure!

Hello everyone! My name is Colby and I am an Female to Male transgender. I'm only a teenager and have been really confused as to actually go through with transitioning to male. Even though I have been sure for a while that I want to be a guy, I still am hesitant to do any medical and/or social changes that I could either regret or have negative repercussions. I'm not sure if that makes me an actual transgender, I haven't even had people call me by male pronouns (however, I have to thank my parents for giving me a more masculine name, kudos to them!), and I've told my parents that I'm still comfortable being referred to as a girl, even though I'm not. I don't want to tell …

Hi all, just found this site and I am thrilled in reading what I have so far. This is an amazing outlet to get questions answered, get tips, and generally have fun it appears. I hope you will all welcome me, I started dressing as early as 4 years old, I kept it a secret till I was 30, and I came out at 50. I wasted so much of my life hiding and not being me and now I am so happy being out and living every day as my true self. Not saying there aren't situations and days, and dating ugh, such a challenge and guys are so awful sometimes but I hold on to the hope that better days are ahead and there is someone out there for me. Bless you all and thank you for allowing me to p…

Hello, im new to all this regarding transgender and the intricacies around it Let me start by explaining that while i have not lead a sheltered life, i have had little to no really contact with anyone from the trans community(that i know of at least) i was recently thrown in at the deep end in to this side of things when after nearly three years, covid being a part of that time my mum and her partner finally managed to make it from their home in Berlin to visit me in the UK. All this time i had assumed mum was or had come out as gay when she moved in with her partner Christine some one who i had only spoken to on the phone but never met in person until a few days ago. …

Nice to meet all of you. I'm 39 and about to start HRT to be MtF. My story is basically I have been living a double life online and in video games for years but I have been pretending to be a girl since I was about five years old. I ended up getting married to a wonderful woman and have two children. Sadly I can no longer live a fake life and I have to be who I am inside. My wife cannot be married to a woman and I don't blame her. I cannot force her to feel that way just to be married to me. We are parting ways and I will start my tradition as soon as I can get a letter and a blood test.

Forgot to do an intro. Hello ladies I am a GG married to my TG partner.We are going through this journey together. I hope to offer support and make friends here.

Hi All! I'm Bree from Canada. I'm just coming to grips with the internal forces that I've dealt with for my conscious life. Not sure where the journey to find out whether I am trans will lead, but I feel I need to take it. I hoping to find good information and sage advice - and perhaps some unvarnished truth to go along with it... Thanks, Bree

Hi,I am Michelle and I am a pre op ts living as a woman,now 33.I was not lucky at first.It all started at an early age,about 5 years old that I had feeling I was truely a girl.I did raid my mom's closet and try on her shoes and pantyhose.She saw some were out of place.I was finally caught when I was 14 and she was not too happy including my own father.I finally said it to them that I am truely a girl.They did not accept it at all and kicked me out for good.I thought I was a lost cause after that and thank god my Aunt Bev came to the rescue.Brought me in to her home and said I was welcomed in.After that she saw I was not happy at all.Finally threw my male wardrobe out and …

Hi I'm chris from Adelaide in south Australia. I'm a very friendly and genuine 39yr old guy. I'm an admirer of transgenders and hoping to make some friends, especially from Adelaide

Hey everyone I'm new here. Just wanted to say hello

Hi, my name is Lee and I came over from Twitter just to say hello! I consider myself an ally to the Trans/Intersex/Crossdressing community--I, myself, am a woman who identifies as a lesbian. I work in education and am in a department at a college that works towards greater access for people who may have experienced barriers to higher education. Right now I'm working on a proposal for a summer program that would be aimed at the Trans, Intersexed, Genderqueer, Two-Spirit community---the program would include academic upgrading classes and workshops specific to the community's needs, to help increase access to education and work. Cross your fingers that my colleague an…

Hello, I'm Lauren, nice to meet you! I live in South Carolina. Like most of you, I have been transgender most of my life. I've only recently come to understand and identify that this feeling inside of me, that has been building up over the course of my life, is what it is. So as you can imagine I am awash with relief, terror and everything else in between. Fortunately for me, I have some awesome friends who are understanding and helped me seek out someone who can help me understand. I am now seeing a state affiliated counselor. With her help and the help of my local sisters, I am slowly understanding this aspect of me that I have both subconsciously hid and initi…

Heyy Everyone!! 😌

Wow, I leave for a while and come back you all done redecorated the place. It's me, formally known as Danielle Caswell now Ravyn Sorrow. Glad to be back and did think about you all while I was gone. I guess I missed it here somewhat.

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

I am a 27 year old MTF crossdresser and considering becoming a full Transgender woman and completing the surgery. In the meantime, I am here looking for other crossdresser/transgender friends to connect with and talk to. It would be even more incredible if I could find some friends that lived close by me in the Columbus, OH to Marion, OH area to hang out with, have girls days with, go shopping with, drinks, look at cute boys and girls together with. Someone to dress up with and just be girls with. I am looking for friends only. I am in a committed relationship with a girl and just looking to have "girl"friends to do things with.

Just getting back into tranny life after a couple of years break, (Iwas getting nagged to much, against it). I live in Hawkhurst, Kent, UK and am active in veganism, animal welfare, gay, transgender stuff in general. Its lonely being a tranny, gay, vegan in deepest Kent are there any similar out there?

My name is Nathan, but most everyone else calls me Nate, so feel free to do so as well! I am FtM and really only recently came out as such. I was at first labelling myself as genderfluid because i was nervous about my normally "flip-floppy" brain deciding i was alright with my birth sex, and really, most of the time i didn't even think too much of my gender. But after a while, i realized i was much more comfortable with acknowledging myself as complete male, I am 18 currently, but since i was 11 i had been less and less comfortable with being a female and secretly hated when anyone drew attention to the fact that i "was a girl". I am still in the closet to my parents, …

Hello, been crossdressing fulltime for 12 years now. It was after my 35th birthday seeing there was an inner female inside of me that wanted out and knew about it when I was in my teens. First was going into my wife's closet taking out a dress of hers and trying it on. I enjoyed and realized how comfortable it was to wear. Luckily I put it back carefully how she had it in there and never questioned me at first. Then I was secretly buying women's clothes including shoes and my wife noticed the changes in me knowing something wasn't right. Plus she knew someone went into her closet seeing nothing out of place. I did finally confess to her that it was me and tried on a dres…
