Hello, my name is Margot. I've known I was female since I was 3/4. Found out what a transsexual was when I was 12. Came to terms that I was transgendered when I was 14. Came out to a few friends when I was 16. Openly admitted it when I was 18/19. Dressed publicly for the first time this year, came out to my family too. Now I'm mostly full time and looking to start taking hormones soon. I love music, I play guitar, piano, and sing. I enjoy writing songs and I love music in every genre, it's hard for me to find music I don't like. I love the outdoors, I camp, hike, run, and go for walks. I also like video games and movies. I study chemical engineering. That's me in a nutshe…

Hi everyone My name is Selene. I'm from the Jersey Shore area. I'm a lifelong CD (I'm in my mid 50's). I've loved every minute of it but lately have been having trouble with just CDing. I'm sure many of you can understand that inner turmoil. I just stumbled onto your wonderful site and can't wait to really dig in and have a good look around. I hope to talk with many of you in the future. Thanks for listening

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

Hi everyone. I'm going on 39, living in Ohio, and have apparently been very confused about my gender for a very long time. I did manage to hide most of it from my wife for over 17 years, but it all came out a few weeks ago when she found some things I'd thought I'd stashed. I very much had the purging behavior and never really dealt with it much until it really came to a head when I got saddled with some work hours that left a lot of time on my hands and let me think on things and I fell into a depression over it and started to really self-examine. When I was a child, I don't remember my exact age other than that it was after my sister was born and before we moved into to…

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…

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'm glad to have known the folks here that I have interacted with. Time for me to move on. The "?" of what kind of "creature" that Veronica would have been is revealed. She would be as "dark" and "malevolent" as her progenitor. A jaguar cannot change it's spots. I understand the "components" of my nature now, mission accomplished. Four months ago I had an accident. Passed out (Don't know why) and clobbered my gourd on a counter on the way to the floor and then smashed my head on the floor when I got there. Astonishing that one good head trauma can be so life changing. My personality has become very dark and frequently malevolent. If that is at all possible for a person li…

Hello to everyone Now - how do I introduce myself? What labels/descriptions/terminolgy do I use? Gender and gender identity is so complex and individual that sometimes none of the prepaid labels seem to fit. First of all, "Ben Verona" is not my real name, but I guess many people here use a pseudonymn. On the face of it I'm a 64 year old man living in England. Here's the first stumbling block - your image of "64" might conjure up the word "old". Well - I don't feel "old" but I am also entirely comfortable with my age. I'm far more at one with myself than I was when I was 30. So - I'm biologically male but for many years I have identified more with my feminine psyc…

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, I am Confused1. I am here to help keep my sanity while I figure out who I am and will be in the future. My account disappeared in the last few hours and don't know why. My username and email were available again so here I go again. About a week ago I was getting ready for bed and taking off a sweatshirt and my tshirt got pulled up so that my wife saw that I was wearing a sports bra. Her initial response was to ask if I was transitioning and that she could not be married to a woman. I told her that I had no intention of becoming a woman, but since then, I have done a lot of self searching and am not sure where I am at other then I don't think I fit the mo…

Hi everyone,my name is Mandy and I' am new to this site.I have homes in Miami(U S A ) and London(U K ),I' am a girl that was born a boy,but never felt or acted like one.I had my surgery back in 2008 and that was the best year of my life,because finally I became what I was in my mind all the time.I' am looking forward to get to know you and become friends,thanks for having me here at this site.

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.

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 gee gee and I am in the very beginning of transitioning to a woman. Have a very hard time at home. My wife doesn't understand it. I really don't know what to do. I think I am going to lose her. Really don't want that.

Hello,I am Zoey and crossdress fulltime for 20 years now.Journey started when mom put make up on me when I was 7 years old and this is when I started to like anything feminine.Luckily my dad never found out right away and did 2 days later,was abusive to me about it including to my mom.Luckily my mom and I got out,she knew we needed a better life.After that mom figured out I liked anything feminine and it started dressing at home part time.As I got older,did go out with friends dressed as Zoey.Mom is supportive including my step dad,step sister and now step brother.Toughest part was telling my mom I wanted to dress as Zoey fulltime when I was 19 and she took it well suppor…

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 all you beautiful people! I will just start by talking about myself. Someone please tell me to stop ... Cuz I won't ☺️ My name is Gabi. I'm 26 and have been a CD for just a month or so... I have been depressed for a decade ! I feel like I just woke up from the LONGEST nap! Lol . I have more energy than I ever did as a teenager and I really need some resources to help me along the way. I don't want to just dress as a woman, I want to start taking hormones safely as soon as possible without rushing in to it. I feel like I lost so much time though :/ is 26 too old for HRT? Everyone says no but I would like as many opinions as possible. I am passable. I have a girly fac…

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..

Hi, I'm new. I've only been on one other site before this and well... it was a tad boring. I'm just a basic cross dresser and have no desire to transition, none of that. I'm totally happy being the man I am. I'm married to a great woman (also my friend here, SandCastle) and I'm here to just enjoy myself and maybe make a friend or two in life like me. Also, my SO is here too to possibly do the same... as we're both of course struggling a bit with all of it. I'm not here to hook up with anyone, just talk & like I said, maybe make a friend here & there. Feel free to say hi if you have something to say, if not, that's ok too. Thanks for looking &am…

Hi, I’m Beth, I’m a post-op transsexual who’s transition was not an easy path however when I look back to my own preverbal "fork in the road", I'm not sure how much longer I’d have lasted on my personal path of self-destruction. I had my GRS in Montreal and have amazing results! I’m happily married to a woman and to outside eyes we are a lesbian couple. Our closest friends and of course our families know I was born male. I have two children from a previous marriage who accept me and whom I am very close with, my wife and I are raising one and my ex the other (their own choice) while we each have visitation of the other on holidays and summer. I have a fulfilling career a…

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

I started following @TGGuide on twitter and Lori suggested that I join and introduce myself. I am Jeremy Mathis. My daughter is Coy, a 6 year old transgender girl. I just want to get to know people and make new friends. I have been fortunate that the very few number of people I am friends with in person have been supportive of me and my wife and especially our daughter, but I feel that they don't quite understand. Since Coy's story has been in the news, I have been able to meet other transgender men, women, and their supportive families. It is so uplifting to speak to people who understand without question. Thanks for hosting this website and for letting me be part of it…
