Quite unexpected!
I had my weekly conversation with my father last night and he mentioned something he did that caught me totally off guard.
He was browsing garage sales and came across a nice blond wig, he decided to buy it and his wife was quite perplexed he said.
They had a dinner date with a couple that are friends since high school, and my father went dressed as a woman (with his wife's assistance).
He said he did it as a "joke", but spent the entire evening dressed.
Welcome aboard, @The Lake. One thing you can be confident in is that this forum is a safe place to share your thoughts. Have a good look around and chime in as you see fit.
Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.
I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it:

A member mentioined and I got the book by Dr. Schwartz called No Bad Parts" and after 40 years of therapy it has made an amazing source of help for me.
Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.
Welcome back. I'm almost 4 years in so I didn't have the chance to make your acquaintance before. Glad you came back. Helping others is fantastic, needed and wonderful.
Hugs,
Heather
Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.
Warmest Regards,
Susan R🌷
