Your girl side affecting your boy side

Very much so.
But a large part of it, too, is finally accepting, and being comfortable with myself. My whole outlook on life has changed for the better.

Totally affected my male side almost pushed him out few more nips and tucks and his body will be my body which will be turned to a female.

I completely agree there, honey! I've never felt so comfortable in my skin.

I get where you’re coming from Bridgette, but I have to say no, Clara isn’t all that different from the usual old person I’ve always been. I still think of me as just me. I’d like to think I’ve been a reasonable, thoughtful, open minded, sensible person all along so I don’t feel terribly different. On the other side of the coin, I suppose I can be just as much an ass as Clara, but at least I’m consistent ; )

Hi Bridgette.

Thoughtful, caring, sympathetic, patient.......although maybe not demure haha

.....I like to think i'm like this most of the time....but then grace is here most of the time anyway

When in drab at work, I can be a bit more techy or impatient....but not much. Grace has been here for so long now, maybe she has taken control 24/7 anyway, whatever I am wearing.

It's definitely for the better.

Hi Bridgette,
Without any doubt my male persona has changed and I’d say for the better. I’m far more receptive and empathetic. I behave far more thoughtfully. I’m closet bound, not ideal, but that’s the way it is. But I have a far greater personal satisfaction and inner gratitude for who I have become. I’m at ease with all here, ( before I was extremely nervous and somewhat shallow). I find comfort, inspiration and provocation inasmuch that I feel far more alive. I have much to conquer yet but that does not scare me. You have to be yourself, live with yourself and take what comes your way. I applaud all here who are so much more” advanced”
On their journey. I’m no there yet, but in no rush.
So, yes, I have changed for the better. Yes there are still parts that need the potters wheel but I am CD and inwardly proud of that. The best part and crucially important part is that I want to share with others more, help, inspire and be a clown too if I need to be. I’m rather like Dudley Moore, but wish I could play jazz like he could.
Being femme is a great “ teacher” in my life. Why did I not start this even earlier.
And, thank you, Bridgette, it is good and infectious. Just need to be a bit careful!!!!

I can't say my girl side has changed my boy side because I've had both sides my entire life. I've never been a macho man.

What I found difficult being a man with a strong feminine side was raising my son. I just never felt worthy of being that fatherly image that I felt my son needed.

I have always had the "feminine" aspects of caring, kind, gentle, easily emotional, empathetic, difficult to anger. I was going to say my female side is a bit more of an attention seeker but on reflection my experience as a DJ means I have always sought the spotlight. So I guess my two spirits live together and influence each other equally. Although I live as a woman the male is always with me just under the surface.

I’m think I’m a tropical Gemini. Was born on 22nd May. I tend to cry especially when I hear great music like Handel’s Messiah or most of the old Hymns I learnt growing up. I’m generally a fun loving person and love a good banter. If anybody hurts me on purpose I tend to forgive but I don’t forget.Whether that makes me more womanly than manly I’ll leave that to the so called experts.

Good question!

As with others, I'm shy, gentle, hate confrontation, loathe "laddish" behaviour. But I don't regard Connie as a different person. I'm me, in or out of a dress. Rather than Connie influencing my "boy side", it's more a case of Connie being a container to keep the girly stuff in.

Hi Bridgette,

I don't feel like there are two sides of me.  It's just me.  I love to do guy stuff but love chick flicks as well and can't stop myself from crying when I'm watching no matter how embarrassing it is at the moment.  I'm a good handyman but I love to cook and give the pleasure of a good home cooked meal to friends and family.  I'm a loyal, submissive and supportive partner that want's his wife to be happy so most of my desire to dress as a lady stays in the closet.   I enjoy a beer with the guys after a round of golf but lunch with the girls after a morning of shoe shopping would be heavenly.  As I get older, the need to outwardly express my inner femininity that has always been there grows stronger.

Hugs,

Michelle

Regine has definitely had a huge impact, on "him".
I have never been shy, and have been very macho throughout my life, that is still there, but much reduced, although when I need it, it's not far away. much easier to control, though, lol
Hugs, Regi👸💖

Honestly, I have no idea. Never really thought about it.  It is possible. Probable even. I'm more of the outgoing outspoken blunt in your face kinda male sooooo.

You bet I will be looking to see if I can find a connection.

Bridgette,

In my case I just accepted Miss Hope as my true self. I am happiest when I realize that I am one transgender person not 2 person as. I find myself going to bed with my forms on and my girl pjs or night gown and then I wake up and put on my yoga pants sports bra and top for a few hours in the morning before work. After a morning teams call I can then dress and be Hope all day!

Hugs,
Hope
