My story

Growing up in a big city in Canada in the 50's and 60's where they would beat up or kill anything queer, sure gave you pause to think if you did not look or act like the stereotypical gay guy, why would you want to go there? But the call of the wild came out in those brave enough to still take to the streets in whatever form that they felt was truly them.

My life right through until I was 50 was played out as 3 characters none of which ever met. I remember dressing in girls’ clothing from the age of 3 or 4. Something I counted as a fancy I could do for the thrill in private giving it up anytime. I was to find out so much later the term Trans Gender and that "she" was equally a part of me as "he" was. I was not a cross dresser but dreamed at night many times, as a girl or woman. Being bi-sexual I was attracted to men, as well as women, so went through phases of being gay, but nobody ever saw me dressed feminine, that was still private. When made up I did not think I looked pretty enough for public. I would see the drag queens in the city but they were almost always gay, just enjoying the show of it. So that did not fit as being me either.

I was married 3 times over the years. Each time I would put my fem self on the shelf, concentrating only on my partners happiness. I never lied always telling each before the marriage about being bi-sexual and having cross-dressed. Each partner thanked me for my frankness, but for them it was nothing to be included in our relationship. X number 1 and 3 were natural born women but number 2 was a Trans Sexual M to F in the early stages of transition. This was the mid 70's and together we journeyed through to her post op. The relationship ended some 5 years post op as relationships seem to do.

I now live in Costa Rica Central America running a spiritual and health retreat with my partner of 3 years. My complete self masculine and feminine are not only accepted by my partner, but welcomed, and loved as their own characters. I never dreamed this possible until I began attending monthly dinners in Toronto restaurants with a Trans/Cross dressing group called "Xpressions.org" There fully half of the attendances' were joined by their wives. Supporting them, and enjoying everything about the evening, and their partner's diversity. I learned one does not have to settle! There is someone for everyone, fully accepting us as we are, and who we aspire to be.

I have chosen to retain my male portions below the belt, developing a character displaying all of my M & F traits, within the appropriate settings.

Love to all
