Member Introductions

Hello, I am terrible with introductions. They always make me feel uncomfortable. I guess its the fear of rejection, both my own and others, that makes it so hard. Any way, here it goes... I am a 43 year old trans-woman who is just beginning my transition. I have struggled with being myself for as long as I can remember. My primary method of dealing with being transgender was avoidance, drugs, and food. I have recently reached a point where the suffering associated with not being myself is greater than the risk of being myself. I love nature from the big to the small. I am fascinated by the natural sciences and the diversity of life. I am a religious natural…

I am Naeka, 53 male, and diving into a new me. perhaps maybe treading water first might be better lol. Naeka, Which means whispering-(nae) dragon, (ka). First I am new to this site I had signed up a while ago but this is the first I have actually taken time to explore and have a look at things. While I have cross dressed ever since I was a youngster, its only been with in this last year and a half, after my Fathers passing and moving to live with friends. that I began, to look deeper into more of who I am inside and trying to learn to be that person on the outside. the area in which I live I am thus far fortunate, to not received any negative reaction though I have gotte…

I’m a 69 year old African American from Georgia . Long time dresser ( On a again , off again ) but the craving never left . This is my first time being able to converse with like minded people and i am more than a little excited .

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…

I've never been very good at introducing myself (or interacting with new people in general, to be honest), but here goes: I was raised in a very... closed-minded? environment (LDS/Mormon, if that means anything to anyone), so when I began to doubt my gender it was something I kept to myself, my most closely- guarded secret. A couple online friends (one in particular) helped me sort through my feelings a little, but they weren't very experienced in this sort of thing and so mostly just listened as I rambled. It wasn't 'til my last couple semesters at college that I was able to bring myself to talk about it aloud, with one of the counselors from the school's free coun…

I'm Erica, a single, mature trans woman, traveling along this wondrous continuing journey toward womanhood. Looking to make friends, learn, and share.

Hello to everyone and greetings from Alabama. I am brand new to this site and am relatively new to this lifestyle. I hope that no one will be offended by my reference to it as a "lifestyle". I am not a woman 24/7 and so I identify with it as a lifestyle rather than a way of life, if that makes sense. I consider myself a cross-dresser and doubt my feminine tendencies will every go beyond that. I currently have no plans to pursue hormone treatments, surgery, or any kind of psychotherapy to present or life as more of a woman. I just enjoy feminizing myself whenever the opportunity presents itself, including the application of makeup, wigs, breastforms, lingerie and wom…

Hello everyone. I'm 38 year old male. And I live USA and Married family . The last few years it's been roller coaster ride for me. Fighting with depression and anxiety. And I'm trying to finding out who I am. More so when I feel very feminine a lot. It feel great to wear my lipstick and nail polish. Or have that type stuff in my purse. When I'm on twitter chat with someone. When they refer to me as a woman. Like using words that are reserved for women. It just feel good/right to me. Why I don't know. I come to a point in my life. That I mite very well could be transgender and I'm ok with that. I don't have many friends. And my family know a lot about me now. I n…

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 Andrew and I live in the United Kingdom. I recently discovered I may be transgender during a course of therapy for depression. Even at school I thought I was different but did not understand why. Sadly I have been told I can not get any medical help regarding being transgender for over 2 years. I have set up a petition to try and get more transgender centres open to help Children and adults get their wait time reduced in the uk

Hello *wave* New kid, at least on this particular block. Traci, from Woodbury NJ. Been dressing off and on (way more off than on over the years, but that may change soon) and always interested in making new friends. Hope to hear from you, sisters. Hugs, Traci

Hi everyone. I've been full time since 2007 here...but I ALWAYS knew..

HI, I don't currently have a name I like so hi, I'm _____. (some of my friends call me TBD as a joke because I've been undecided on names for a while). I'm a gender questioning/non binary and looking to learn more about myself and others in this community. I'm also looking for name ideas. If you have any please let me know! (face for reference). Also this is my current name ideas which one do you think fits best? Emmett, Ezra, Simon, Mercer

Found this group through twitter and it all seems super positive, so I decided to join up. I am thinking about starting a blog on here, but have a feeling it could to turn into a full blown book. I enjoy being a nerd, a coffee snob, a hipster and riding my fixie. I hope to have some great discussions with you all in the future. Have a good day

I just discovered this site and feel very fortunate. I'm a newbie but I guess everyone has to be one at one time.

Hello My name is Helene Barclay, I live in the Highlands of Scotland. I am a transvestite, a man who enjoys female impersonation. I love the challenge of attempting to carry off a portrayal of a female and enjoy experimenting with make up, clothes and wigs. I won't deny there is something truly adventurous about taking on the appearance of the opposite sex and I enjoy the collision with my upbringing as such activities were considered taboo. I also enjoy confronting societies perceptions, prejudices and taboos. Being a transvestite appeals to me as I love the mystery of illusion. It is actually great fun to be a man yet shave your legs, your chest, sit in front of m…

I am new to the community. My name is Richard. I am interested in learning as much as I can about transgender, crossdressing, and how to be respectful and be a friend/ally within "this part of the world", etc. My faith is very important to me as a conservative Christian. But for the time being I admit that, I don't know what I don't know and I want to change that. So, I can become a strong avicate and apologist. I have been poking around these forums, the tiffany club new england, crossdressing society, etc. Your council is appreciated, be fore warned, I am a very inquisitive creature by nature.

I just found this site so I thought i would see what is up here, I just getting a fresh start on my life, just starting my third week of hrt MTF, I believe i have more questions than answers so I was hoping that I might find some helping advice here. will see you in the forums, Jerri

I joined earlier in the week as a means of gaining support. I am a baby in my journey and feeling like there is an emotional bomb going off inside me. I've been struggling with my identity for years and only a few weeks ago did I finally take the first step and reach out for help by seeking therapy.

Hello to anyone and to begin with a little about me I suppose. I am now retired and live in the southern part of the UK and have been around the TG community for decades. I transitioned originally in 1978 but life was a whole different kind of experience back then. So in 1994 I returned to the transition and this time it was successful, the world was a little more accepting. My story is in one book about gender variance, so I am an author, and also an artist and photographer. I also write a lot of poetry and on top of all that, I am also Autistic. I have fought long hard battles with those who have tried to hold us back, some successes and some failures but the bigges…

I'm so glad to be a part of this community!

Hi, my name is Teri, I am a 41y old Trans female. I Only recently accepted myself as transsexual, around a year ago, I told my wife first and that was the hardest thing I have ever done. We started therapy just last December, and by March was starting hrt. I have been living full time since the beginning of May. And the UPS have far outweighed the downs. My realities have already exceeded my expectations.

Hey y'all. So as I said in the title, I'm definitely not new. I had an account then kept on forgetting my password so I decided to just get lazy and make a new account then actually write down the password. but for those of you who don't know me! My name is Tyler, I'm 19 years old. I'm from New jersey, When Is tarted on this site, I was questioning my identity, and I was for a few years though I did Identify as some sort of trans*. It took me until maybe last November to actually finally start coming to terms with it, at least with the help of my club on campus and school professor support, I;m finally starting to be a little bit more happy with who I am. I also…
