As we say goodbye to 2024, let us look ahead to 2025 as a year of finding. What we find may be all we need or what we dream of as possibilities. Our journey is our own, yet it comes with similarities to the many who call this site home. This is where we come to find answers, to be inspired by others, and to be an inspiration. What we have to share helps so many others. We don’t necessarily see it happen. Not everyone is an active participant. Many are visitors who need to read what we have written, see the pictures posted, or follow along in conversations. It’s enough; enough for them. What they seek is the understanding that they aren’t alone.
Personally, I wish to thank all of you who have allowed me to share my thoughts with you in the many articles I have posted. Your comments are rewards that I look forward to reading and responding to. Writing is my therapy, as is sharing it. Some of you who have commented on the many posts should (And I am inviting you to do so! 😊) consider submitting your own article. There are editors on staff who can help with the flow and grammar, you only need to get it written down (500 words minimum and no longer than 1,200) and sent in. Sharing your story, your progression, your past, your victories, your tribulations, and your uncertainties benefits all of us. Those who comment add to the conversation, but those who are the readers or visitors are the ones most helped by what we share. It makes a difference!
If you have followed me, you know that I write about kindness to others and especially to ourselves. That will be my search this year, and hopefully, my mantra as I look to step out more. Please consider sharing some of your happenings with us. We stay away from politics, religion, hate, overt sexuality, and discrimination as themes. Think PG when writing. Share experiences: going out in public, coming out to a spouse, family, or friend, what we’ve learned from our past that we hope others might benefit from, helpful suggestions on how to do makeup, dress, find clothing and accessories, what has worked and what didn’t for you. Consider sharing the breakthroughs and the heartaches. Nothing is off the table as long as it has something to do with being a crossdresser or transgender. What it needs to be is personal and not fiction. There are other places that you can go to post fabrications. Go to Author/ New article to begin your submission.
If you have questions, please send me a PM. I hope to see one of your articles soon! May you have a wonderful year ahead!

There are a lot of good writers on this site but some are even unsure with their pen name , perhaps similar to what I see on the local site one of us pose a topic, what do you think of you posting the topic and allow those of us to submit an article if chosen or several are chosen you editors can take the best answers for and against( if that is the chosen format), you could then compile the individual answers into a single article composed of the like minded as a single composition unbiased – I do… Read more »
A couple of things in there: Short bursts on a given topic are generally what the forums are designed for; I do like the idea of an occasional article that could be topic-centric. As for the wonderment of AI: I’ll pass. To me, it misses the emotion behind the words, which in my opinion are the most important. Let me do some thinking on the first part. Thanks for the suggestions.
I understand the limitations of AI, if you want an emotional response yes you need a human, AI can however simulate a psudo-emotional response based on the “passion level" of the individual writers and they are not to bad at it, We are however who we are and given the relative intelligence of the members here (and I am fully supportive of all input and criticism from any other members) the man in me is interested in the logical and rational interpretation AI would have. As cross-dressers we have the need to express emotions that we are required to suppress… Read more »
@Liza Foryou Even the first response from a Google search is all AI generated, now. We still need human creators and writers to edit (not plagiarise) and fact-check the information.
Thanks Brina! Happy 2025.
Thanks! You, too!
