@Katy, welcome to Trans Pulse. What you are describing is very serious behavior, and, as you said, some of it is criminal behavior. We are very diligent here about watching out for predators, fraudsters, fakers and other ne'er do-wells. I won't describe all of our methods, but they are very successful. My suggestion to you is to write down everything you can about his potentially illegal behavior, especially that involving underage girls, and include every detail you can think of. If he has images on his phone or tablet or computer of underage girls in "sexualized" situations, be sure to include that. Take all of that information to a police agency in your state that has the resources for a sexual predator task force or unit and let them start an investigation. If you know or suspect that some of the victims are from out of state, take the information to the F.B.I. If you want to discuss details privately, you are welcome to PM me. I am not an officer, but I was one years ago, so I know of what I speak. If he is currently engaged in these activities, it is imperative that you let authorities know, in order to keep young victims from being hurt. Thank you for asking about this, and thank you for being concerned enough to let us know. Carolyn Marie -

So your experience sounds a lot like mine. I'm 52, married with 2 kids. I adore my family but acknowledge I'm a bi crossdresser. I knew I was different ever since I can remember. When I was a child I wanted to wear the little girl clothes I saw in the catalogs. I admired the woman and thought they were beautiful. I knew little boys don't feel like this typically so I kept it to myself. It never went away. Crossdressed in my adolescents, mom's clothes when nobody was around. High school did the same and would wear panties or panthose under my clothes. Crossdressed in 1st marriage in her clothes. Then divorced and did it as a single man. Remarried, wife knows I've done it in the past, still do it today with my own clothes I hide. I wear panties or something that works be considered for gay men daily. I often wonder if I should have either transitioned after high school or decided to live a crossdressing life and dated both and never married. It's odd because I don't hate being male but I miss not being female and feel lost between. So I understand how it's not clear cut for you. It isn't for me either. Add in I'm attracted to men as well and it further complicates it. I feel I was born wrong at times and should have been a tomboy fitness girl. Talking about it helps that why I'm on this site. Therapy helped a little at times but I'm so in-between no clear answer ever was presented to me. Hope this helps -

hello! I am a gender non conforming person who hasn't really interacted with the transgender community much and I would like to ask a question. How are predators dealt with in the community? I suppose I just need a peace of mind after something that happened to me. I was groomed by my ex when I was a minor and he has done so to other minors as an adult. He is not trans (goes by he-him) and thinks it's weird to wear girl clothing but displays himself online as a girl and sometimes uses that idenity in real life. I tried to be very supportive of him in this but he was highly abusive and kept using his idenity as a weapon. Like to be in changing areas or see naked images of girls who didn't consent to be sexualized and then do perverted things. He also sexualizes the transgender community and has a warped sense of feminity where he sees AFABs as property and all. He is still doing illegal and messed up things to this day and I am terrified that he will try and get close to more girls and exploit them >< So my question to you guys is how are these individuals treated here? do their identities not get accepted as real, do they get accepted but ostracized, is there a forum/list to raise awareness of potential predators? It would make me feel a lot better to know if there's something I can do about him or if other people try to keep the community clean of those folk. I don't really have an opinion on it myself because I value the perspective of you all first before doing anything -

Good luck to you @Wisp. Coming out can definitely be stressful. But it does get easier. Every time you come out to someone, you're also affirming yourself to yourself. In that sense, you're also coming out to yourself each time. Each time it gets more real because you're putting it out there. But guess what - you also get stronger and it gets easier with practice and time. Little by little you become more confident and self-assured. Someday, you'll be able to just say it in conversation matter-of-factly when relevant and safe. But again, just like you said, you cannot know the future. So it's little steps that take you further into being more yourself. And while you cannot know the future, you are taking those steps toward affirming yourself which will shape your future. So bravo to you. I'll leave you with one more thought. I recall Karamo Brown of Queer Eye said that coming out should more rightly be thought of as letting in. That is, you're inviting people who are important to you to know you on a deeper level. That's their privilege and your gift to them. -

Well, I hope the Foxes are enjoying the Henhouse (aka fancy top floor suite in a hotel). I’m thinking no news is good news on this one. We will have to hear all about. @KymmieL when is your first proctoring session? From your earlier description it sounded like you only worked when there was a test that required a proctor. Or did I get that wrong? Get your engine for your Buick yet? Is this a restore and sell, race or a just to drive to car shows restoration? We got rain lastnight but not the severe storms others have been getting. We are actually in a drought. I’m hoping nature’s idea of fixing that isn’t a hurricane. We don’t need that. -

Mr. Trump has been a godsend for liberal parties and politicians all over the world, except those already under the totalitarian thumb. I think it may even affect Germany, where backlash against the AfD is growing, in part based on support for the AfD from Vance and Trump. Carolyn Marie -

So, I'm still kind of in the closet it. I've come out to my best friend, and she was super supportive, as I knew she would be. I've learned that coming out can be 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳 stressful! I'd heard that it is, but I'd never thought I'd go through it myself. But here we are. I've of course gotten my friend's full support, but that's now's the bigger challenge: coming out to my family. I only plan to come out to my closer family members, at least until I start feeling more confident 'n stuff, but it's less of that I'm going to do it and more of 𝘩𝘰𝘸 I'm going to do it. I'll probably write letters. I live with my parents, but I have bad anxiety, and I don't think I'd be able to do it in person. But I also don't think I'm gonna come out to my parents first, I'm going to come out to my older brother first. I'm going to tell him over text, on his day off of work (Tuesday). I already have something written out. I wish I could see the future and automatically know how he's going to react, but I can't, so really I can only hope it goes well. We have a decently good relationship, so I hope he'll be at the very least open minded. I don't think I need tips, though if anyone thinks they have any useful advice, I wouldn't mind taking it. I guess I just needed a place to rant. Document my progress. I'll update on how it goes when I tell him. Have a good day/night. -

Good afternoon, morning thread! My local library did their annual fundraiser which included a 'silent auction'. One of the items was a spray tan/makeover/photoshoot. I bid once, then twice, and won. (I usually donate to the library since I used it so much, but hadn't for a while, so nice little bonus). I've actually done the spray tan at the same establishment as the one that was won, and was glad to see that the photographer's portfolio categories included one called "Pride". No idea when it will happen, but should be fun. -
