Are you thankful for crossdressing?
My mom always used to say, “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” At least I think it was my mom, or some other suitably sage adult who influenced my growing years. Here in the US we’re just a few days away from Thanksgiving. Apart from turkey, football (of the non-soccer variety) and the occasional family feud, Thanksgiving is a time I use to reflect on all the blessings I’ve been given in my life.
After just a few minutes I’m hard pressed not to weep with gratitude to my creator for all I’ve been given. A family who loves me, a good job during troubled times and the blessing of health. In fact, if you’re reading this right now you’re likely wealthier than 95% of all people in the world. (If you don’t believe me, take a moment to find out where you are on the global rich list). Truly a blessing, even though it’s almost entirely an accident of birth.
But speaking of accidents of birth… If you’re reading this you or your loved one are probably dealing with the mixed blessing of being a transgendered person. This can be a difficult struggle, but I can honestly say that I’m truly grateful for being transgendered. It has made me a better person. Do you consider being transgendered a blessing? What are you most grateful for?

Last Week’s Crossdressing Poll
Last week I asked if you could go back and change your birth gender, would you? It looks like most of you would choose to be born a girl. Though almost 30% of you were quite happy as a man, even if you occasionally don feminine attire. Truly we are blessed to be part of such a diverse community. Whether you’re a woman inside, on your way to becoming a woman outside as well, or happy dressing part time you are a unique and loved person.
I answered this poll with, “I don’t know”, though I was sorely tempted to exclaim how joyous it would be to be born my true gender. I couldn’t get past all the experiences I would miss out on being born a man, and how unpredictable my path as a woman would have been. Not least of which is meeting my beautiful wife, which would never have happened if I were born in my true gender.
Love and blessings this Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

Hi Regina, never allow you “true self” to disappear.
I understand that you have small children at this time in your life. They depend on you and that should be your upmost priority.
I also had to live in the “closet” for many years when raising my 4 children. They are all grown, my oldest 23 youngest 15. Only my youngest daughter is accepting of me. ( I have not opened up to my other children,my boys are 19,oldest daughter 23 )I also have a step daughter who is very accepting along with her boyfriend. It is a great support to have along them along with my amazing wife,but it has taken a long time.
So Regina, do not give up. Dress when you can (with caution) and enjoy and cherish those moments. The time will come when you will be able to express “Regina” more often.
Be strong and know that you have many other sisters that are going and have been in your situation.
Our prayer and thoughts are with you… Stay safe and stay sexy and God bless. Ronnie
Reading all these posts gives me a view of the diversity of gender expression. Since I was about 10 I felt as though I wanted to be a girl. By 14 Envied them so much it really bugged me. When other boys were watching them, I was wanting to be one of them. I have always had business, or personal friends who got in the way of moving foward with this, and while Ive been out for years, Im finally going to get myself right as Ive retired, and friends have drifted away. Been on hormones years ago, have nice real boobies, Im so proud of, and still have good legs. which I still love to show off. Im old now, but still am pretty when dressed. Thats the most important thing in my life right now. The hurting though has been a burden all these years, but now Im going into the new year with a smile, and I wish all of you blessings and happiness in the future. Carol ann.
Hello Carol Ann, I read your post and someway connected to what you said. I was wandering if we might e-m each other and share? I to am older and it took years for me to finally accept that person that has desired to be set free. I thought that maybe we could just share. I have several e-m’s and would love to hear from you! senecanation@yahoo.com
I am extremely grateful for being the person I am. My only regret is that I can’t outwardly be more the woman I always feel inside.
If by proud, you mean do I like being a crossdresser? the answere is Yes!! While I may not be able to dress all the way (Home situation) I at least underdress and really enjoy it. I suppose if I could go back my 58 yrs, I would ask the Lord to be born a girl. I have worn skirts and dresses in past times and it feels ‘right’ for me. Unfortunately, that is not my reality. But regardless, I am happy to be a CD.
Good morning to all. It is so cold here and not to warm for a time. I would like to get some advice on purchasing breast enhancers. I am on a herbal breast enlargement program and is working but slow. I guess all good things do take time. I have been to many sites that sell but to be honest it can be quite confussing at times. I am not looking to over exagerate but to keep to my size. I am 5’6″ and 135lb. So i do not want to look foolish just compliment. Would really like to hear from someone. Thanks, Leona
Hi, Leona -
I have found that most breast forms are just too large, jiggley, and fake-looking. BEsides – they are all unbelieveably HOT!!! You sweat like a pig under them. The best ones I have found for slight enhancement, without being ‘over the top’ are sold as silicone no-strap bras. I wear Braza brand. They are more teardrop – shaped than most others, and you can try wearing them with the taperec elongation in different positions until you find the one that most naturally fits your body shape. They are also only about one cup size incease, so, if you are a NB, as I was for several years, you will find they will make youa full B cup or just slightly largerBy the way – I guess I should add I am in my mid sixties, and didn’t realize the woman in me was so strong until only a few years ago. I knew I was different, but I didn’t realize that I wanted to cross-dress until after I played Cabaret, where the orchestra has to appear as drag queens. That was too much, but it opened my eyes to how sesxy I felt, and how more comfortable I felt in women’s clothing.
Good luck with your search, Dear – I hope this helps.

Elizabeth, thank you for your reply. I to am not real young anymore. I have reached the age of 57 and i to within the last few years have come to the place that i am comfortable and pleased in my new life. It was a soul searching and quite exciting to accept that which was there but always suppresed. But no more! I am in counseling, not to be cured. But to grow as woman. And i have recieved only encouragement and great hope. I will look for the enhancers that you have written about. And hope i can share my descoveries with you. It trully does amaze me the peace that i have finally found and live. Thank you dear sister
