I’ve been trying to formulate this article for awhile now. It’s not easy when you have a blank screen in front of you. What do I want to say; do I want to pass on some wisdom from what I have learned—I don’t know. What you take from my story is up to you...
The Thoughts of Youth Today I’ve had a down day and felt inspired to write a little. I put on the movie “In the Bedroom”, Todd Field’s beautiful and painful portrait of a couple dealing with the loss of their son. In one scene, a friend of the protagonist (played by the w...
Now that we have had articles about an overview of tv and movies, tv characters, inspirational song interpretations, and a movie review. It feels like a good time to write a review on a book. There is lots of fiction found online that is specifically geared towards our communitie...
This piece was first published on the NHS choices website to help support TG’s by sharing other aspects of the TG community and showing alternatives to transitioning. This article is reposted by Author permission. Most of the time Dawn lives as a man using a male name. Howev...
During the 18 months with my therapist (a regular Jungian, not specifically-gender-focused), I processed through a number of general life topics and also a bunch related to gender dysphoria. Like so many friends I’ve talked with, I spent 30 years trying to quit female cloth...
As I read thru several articles written by the members of the website I realize how much pain so many gals have felt over the years because of their desire to dress in feminine clothing. There are also words of joy, confidence and success by those who have been able to say: ̶...
When I`m relaxed, what do I want to do? Now (Jordan) has a different style to my other persona’s, taste. Is this natural, or is it having a “split personality?” The answer is; I’m not sure. So which is the real me? We have a vast difference in musical tast...
From seemingly out of nowhere, at age 64, I began constantly thinking about whether or not I was transgender. I started to explore dressing as a woman. The questions built; why is this happening? Is something wrong with me? After some nervous introspection, it became clear that t...
For much of the last year it has been difficult for me to find time to dress. Life has just gotten in the way. An ever-growing list of family and work responsibilities, on top of all the little time sucks that carve up the day, has made it inconvenient for me to even think about ...
Much of my life’s work for the past two decades has been devoted to the study of mythologies, archetypes, and the hero’s journey. While it is impossible for me to summarize all that means here, I will say that the heroic path requires that we heed the call to adventur...
Over time we learn many things, how to eat, how to talk, how to walk, how to play with other children, go to school and learn more, obey our parents, and eventually, we learn many lessons regarding right from wrong. Sometimes the right and wrong lessons can be gentle and sometime...
I have not met most of you unless you were one of my FB friends before I decided to pull the plug on my nearly 1,000 “friends.” I am now rethinking that decision after a session with my counselor who has helped me come to grips with my genderfluid self over the past...
Sometimes the best way we can support each other is to share our own stories and resources that have helped us on our journey.
The part of me that I'd been neglecting... while all the time I really needed to share my life with Brina
I have talked about how young I was when I first Cross Dressed at the early age of 10 before becoming a Drag Queen, also at a very early age. Between the two I am proud to admit and say out loud that they are my life and there’s nothing in this world that can change that fo...
I will always hold dear to me that summer, those days we spent together and that gift she gave me of accepting myself for whom I am.
...stop being Vicki? Would it be easier? I can stop wanting to breathe but it doesn't mean my lungs or body will allow it.
Life is getting better and better every single day, as I am learning to love myself fully and who I really am at long last.
I just stared at myself for what felt like hours. I could barely break eye-contact with my reflection. Because it was MY reflection. I wasn't staring at a boy.
We are here on this tiny web life raft together to celebrate, or hopefully..., hang on by the... nails when things get a little rough along the road.

To See a Gift June 16, 2019 I sat at my computer writing. A few articles for our site here and a few others. I also write articles or posts for my own site and have a column in our local paper that is published every week. One of the things I attempt to achieve with each writing is to touch at least one per...

As the Carousel Turns June 15, 2019 A Hodgepodge Submission By December 2015, I was 52 when the culmination of circumstances throughout my five-year marriage to my second wife led me to a Crossdresser Support Group (CSG). My wife would be the trigger that allowed for me to disentangle my many layers in pursuit of...
