Being deep in the closet and suffering is no way to live life. I have long felt that I didn’t fit in with my male counterparts, and was always the 3 wheel with women friends with whom I am more at ease. God knows I have tried to be more of a man, it just doesn’t seem to last. I took both tests and I guess maybe finally I should seek out some help. I am a class 4-probably transexual on the COGIATI and a 50 on the female side on the BBC test. I have dressed on an off for years, and lately I am really wanting to go full time and go out where I can be seen and accepted.
Hugs, chrissy

BTW, I should point out that my therapist, Irene, is NOT trying to change me back to be more masculine (really never was), but rather is getting into my feminine mind. She talks to me about my feelings and emotions and thoughts as “Patrice.” She knows me now that she treats me as a woman and respects me as a woman. She is about 20 years younger than I am, but is quite knowledgeable about what I’m going through and what I’ve been through for many, many years. After our sessions, which are twice weekly, (fortunately covered by my insurance company), I leave as a better and more feminine “Patrice.” She is NOT into transformation or makeup skills or what clothing to wear, she is into my “female brain”….and I like that. I hope I am not boring to other “girls”, but I feel if I could help just one “girl”, it would be good for me. Also, Irene, is not into any operations for me. She is glad that I’m on the small hormone doses that I am. She does see “more of a girl in me, than more than a guy (oh, thank goodness!!!).” I wish, and maybe so many of us do, that I was born female. But it is only a wish or dream, and I can live my life as “Patrice” the way I have for many, many years. Thanks for letting me get some things off my chest (ha, ha) for all these years. Hugs to my sisters.

Vanessa, Irene, my therapist now, was recommended by another social worker, whom I’ve known for many years…..Irene is so understanding. I’m single, so there would be different issues that she would have to work out with a “girl”, who is married or has an s/o in her life. Irene and I have gone back to the days when I used to play jump rope with girls on my block. (I used to get teased by the guys playing stickball – maybe they were jealous). Anyway, a lot of times some of the girls, in those days, wore their little dresses and as they jumped you’d see their pretty panties. Sometimes, though, they wore cute little shorts with tee shirts, then you could see their blossoming boobs – they weren’t wearing any bras at that age. I was always so jealous, yet they let me play with them. We played dolls and house and other girly games. I didn’t mind being called “sissy.” I went too long now, again, but I’d recommended finding a therapist ( I think a female one would be better than a male) and start sharing with her. I’m sure she would want, at some time, your wife to participate. Therapy is not a bad word in this day and age……it is there to help us. Please let me know, Vanessa, if you need any more advice on this topic……Patrice

i’ve been thinking of taking that step myself sometime soon. Did you contact a therapist who specialized in treating transgender ladies?

I’ve been writing some comments now on this great site of Vanessa’s. I find it quite helpful. I am definitely a crossdresser. My brain is 90%, if not 100% female. Yes, I started young, like most of us. I can tell you stories about wearing my first bra and other lingeries, about doing my makeup. (Times difficult) Yes, I qualify as a cd. I plan on writing a short story or two to tell you more about yourself. About 8 months ago, I decided to see a therapist about my cd’ing. When I contacted her, we spoke for about thirty minutes while she interviwed me via phone…..we set up an appointment. Before I hung up, I asked her what I should wear to her office. Irene, the therapist, told me to wear what I felt comfortable in….I was nervous all week. Mind you now, I’ve been dressing female for over 35 years (yes, 35). I decided to go mostly drab. I wore a bra with breast forms and panties with control tops under my male clothes….you could see the stockings at my ankles. Of course, you could see my bra under my shirt. Irene complimented me on my choice at this time. Fast forward, now I go weekly for my session as “Patrice.” Irene is bringing “Patrice” out more as the women she should be. She makes me feel so comfortable. She is very understanding. We talk about everything….we get into my past life from dressing as a “little girl” to now. She doesn’t want to change me. I feel so good knowing that I am not alone. She treats other “girls” and now we see each other in waiting room…it is such a “girly” thing. I could go on and on about “my wanting to be a girl all my life”, but I’ll hold that for future posts, or possibly for a short story, as mentioned, in the future. Feel free to contact me at “rjb7839@aol.com” to chat if you’d like. Hugs to all for now.
I enjoy chatting with my sisters, Thank you.
