Actually, yes! Its how I met my two trans friends. My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them. And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well. I'm glad to have been part of helping out. -

I am not sure what "it" you are asking about. The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing? I haven't felt any increased urgency. I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think. One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow. My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that. My goal for surgery was just to have a female body. I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now. Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check. I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way. -

Wow. That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff. You're absolutely right to press charges. It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days. -

Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company. He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers. Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one. He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor. So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules. But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL. Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one. I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two. I'm looking forward to it. Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop. I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager. And we get more stares when we share a shower. -

Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site. I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years. I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me. I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out. I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can. I went over a year without going to a public restroom. I just don't go out much. I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now. The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it). I'm likely going to do it though. I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like. I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified. Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition. Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman. It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown. Respectfully, Lydia_R -

Just a black skort and a yellow t-shirt with sneakers today. -

I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state. Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility. Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual. That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter. And "ensure" is different than "provide". I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture. I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option. -

I would imagine the GOPers are holding that by bull in their hand and paying attention to the Trump version with the nine commandments highlighted. -

It is scary, (and as you say, thrilling) at first. But the more you do it the easier it gets. I dress fem 24/7 (almost always skirts and dresses) and I live in a conservative county of a "red state". Sure, there are places I avoid, but I have little desire to be there anyway. It gets to just be part of who you are. My experience is that most people don't care, some are curious, and surprisingly many (usually other women) friendly. The first steps are the hardest. It's similar with bathrooms. -

Don't know how this posted itself. To continue… There was a time when I tried to make excuses for them. But I am coming to the realization that in their eyes, I, and those like me, are 2nd class citizens at best. -

There is a rather large part of the GOP that is determined to strip the rights of trans citizens, despite us being a small minority, some with families, who work, pay taxes, and who do - and have served in our armed forces, are medics, nurses, etc. They insist that the US is a "christian country" - referring to their particular brand of christianity. And this is despite the constitution, that they claim near worship of, expressly prohibiting this very thing. -

Oregon has a law that allows you to change your name and gender once in your lifetime without involving the courts. It took me about 2.5 months to complete and was relatively easy. It came up yesterday about how I changed my gender on my ID to F instead of X. I identify with M->F, not X. I passed over the line into F, but I'm still near the middle in the spectrum. And I intend to keep going in the F direction. There is another transwoman named Rachel Rand who is about 10 years older than me and I use her as a model for where I want to be in 10 years. I'm a proud Gen X'er, but it's based on latchkey arcade games, not gender. -

I never met me GT in person. I started off by dressing in my LBD going to fast food and drive thru coffee. The first time I ventured out of the car, I was wearing a tight fitting long black dress with hose and heels to the ATM. No one saw me and it was a good step to take. I still love that dress and was wearing it last week. I have learned to accept my male bulge in a feminine way thinking of it being like a teenage girl who's breasts are coming in and how that must feel when being in public. Nothing I can do about it and I'm not into wearing some pleated skirt to hide it because I'm not into that style.
