I have wanted to be a male since I can remember even though I was born female. I am 45 happily married and have 2 great kids, but in my head I "play" a guy daily. As I go about my life, inside I am living the life of a boy and even dress the part and act out his life when I am alone. I have never told this to anyone. Always thought I was weird. I am not sure what I am looking for other than not to feel weird anymore. I have had therapy in the past for substance abuse and anxiety/depression. I have not used in 15 years. I am glad I found this site and thanks for listening.

Hi Shane

So happy to meet you, feel free to be yourself here all you want. :D

I also wanted to say that you are not weird just different, just like everyone else in the world. :P

That's what makes living so wonderful and interesting, all the differences we see every day. ;)

I see that you have experience with therapists, are you planning on seeing a gender therapist?

And congratulations on the 15 years sober and welcome to the family ;)

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We have FTM meetings -Mon & Fri 8pm est, and you are welcome to attend.

We all look forward to seeing you.

Shane,

Welcome to the forums, I just want to tell you that you are not wierd, just different.

A very special friend (Selkia) told me recently that most people see the day as beautiful and fear the night for what they cannot see so they decided that the night is bad because they never took the time to let their eyes adjust and see the beauty that is there - she then told me that we are the night.

Welcome to all of the beauty that is hidden in the night.

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks for the warm welcome and I may come over and chat Friday. It is a relief to know I am not alone in how I feel. This is a great site and I have been looking over it for a little while now. Alot here. Maybe I will see a therapist to discuss how I feel. You know I have even talked about this with my hubby(who really is awesome) and at least know he is with me trough anything. Thanks again and will talk later.

      Purses

      By Sally Stone · Posted

      Don't forget TJ Maxx for purses.  I have purchased several from there.  They offer a great variety with good prices.  You can even find high-end bags at affordable prices.   @Ladypcnj purses are one of my weaknesses as well.

      When I get stuck in androgynous mode for an extended period I have to admit that I salve the dysphoria at times through retail therapy.    And, I've been busy. I search for bargains a lot of eBay, put items on my watchlist, wait for an offer and then typically make a lower counter-offer. Most of the items I buy are new. The strategy has gotten me some amazing deals on brand name clothes.   I will also admi to being a Talbot's Girl and all these are Talbot's items. Their clothes just seem ti fit me well. New in my closet are:

      We have even had them here from time to time I am afraid.   The rights of Free Speech actually carry a weighty responsibility to take the consequences of making that speech and it is that responsibility where the persons making the FREE hateful statements break down.  They insist that the Right shields them from the consequences, but it makes them all the more liable for them in reality.

      When and if a post is removed here, there is always a PM to the poster to explain the action and offer them an opportunity to amend the post to align with T&C's (if possible).     Certainly!  There are always those who will flaunt the rules.

      In the U.S. Monday is Memorial Day. Do you celebrate and/or honor those who served?

      By April Marie · Posted

      Actually, Memorial Day is the day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Veteran's Day, November 11th, is the day where we honor all who served.   Here is something I found that distinguishes among Memorial, Veteran's and Armed Forces day.

      I think Norstrom and Marshalls would be the top leading stores for both fashion and their collections of purses.

      Amy's Intro part 1 (The Basics)

      By April Marie · Posted

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!

      Going to my appointment…

      By Charlize · Posted

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆
