You might want to look here.

It is for folks who are between.

Maybe you should also join the chatrooms where the communication is more immediate.

Hi, SoulRoots! Welcome to Lauras! I think you will definitely find people here who can relate. Based on your description, you may fit into a few different "categories." I know there are people here who identify as androgynous, bigender, genderqueer and others. You also mentioned that you feel primarily masculine, but have to keep your body feminine for medical and other reasons. If this is the case, you may very well be a trans man. I've known more than a few people who considered themselves trans, regardless of their ability or desire for surgeries and/or hormones.

Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, know that you are welcome here and will no doubt find help and fellowship. As always, I would suggest finding a gender therapist to help you along your journey (whatever that may ultimately be), but recognize that that may not always be possible.

Hi SoulRoots...............

Your in the right place..........

??????????? That's all I had . I've read enough here to no that I'm in the right place.

You might look into Transgender Spirituality section under heading of "2 Spirit" It helped me although I still don't no exactly what the future holds for me.

I decided that after reading many post's past and current that I'm a Cross Dresser with 2 spirits. I have no interest in Men other than as friends .

I felt very confused about my gender and hid my femine side from all, until recently.

Take a chance and just read through any section that sparks your interest and maybe you'll find your not so alone in the way you feel.

Hope that helps !!!!!!!

Hugs Lara

Thanks for these responses!?! It definatly needs re~reading throu a bit slower! As far as my "medical notes" state that on "the gender issues" I am resolved/happy as a women!?! Erm no not really!?! althou to be fair the accessment@that time was about other medical stuff.....cannot "deal with" or use the word Women@myself!?! :-[ Fe~male Girly~avatars ect Im Ok with.....Did try to accesst the Chat" aspects and have 3Smartfone and expected that to be fine.....wasnt able to get on! Does that count as "live chat" Or "shoutbox" kinda stuff?!? In a way I Was kinda asking for permission to be an (active) member of Lauras Place?!? Why well the world is linda scary/hard to work@my medicalstuff and I hate~to put myself in wrong position/places~as Im very sensative!?! Thanks [email protected] :-)

Also~while I am asking.....it seems that the Crossdressing" Section/s are Only for Males/Cds?!? and there isnt a part for Feamale~CrossDressers?!? Surely not?!? Guess its more Socially~acceptible & soforth.....But its still a Commitment & clothing Sizes/types need checking@times (massively filled out~since I last wore guys clothes regular) ect?!? With Thanks SoulRoots :->

It is true that in our society pants and male dress in general has been acceptable women's fashion since the 1940's or before. Now it is rare that i see a woman in a dress or a skirt. If sizing is a problem for you i would think that the size chart pined at the top of the fashion forum works both directions as it is based on body sizes not gender.

Really its kinda stupid sometimes~that gender gets defined by clothing and styles!?! Im sure what is inside us lasts much longer and matters much more!?! Cant see why guys or whoever) cant wear skirts make~up hair does and all kinda stuff....The Goth rock scene is one of the most "gender~bending" & gender~blending places Ive been in as a positive example!?! Artistic self~expression is rated as more important~than the gender of the person "dressing up" Id guess?!? :-) Army clothing presents the biggest challenge Size wise as there seem to be 2 or 3 kinds of measurments and as soon as Ive me morised 1 a seller will use another!?! I also feel kinda stupid asking ebay sellers~cause there probably thinkin what~you dont know your own size?!? SoulRoots

Hi, Your right where your supposed to be! I consider my self a androgyne, as i won't try to pass and don't want to anymore, I am told I am a very good looking person similer to johnny depp, That's what my girlfriend says anyway. I never had any problems getting dates either but @ 54 and getting the courage to come out trans about 7 yrs ago. I realized not everyone is a cait jenner or chaz bono. I love my expensive womans jeans & racerback tanks & tees. After 6 + years of hormones and patince my hair is down to my underarm thick & curly I do my brows and paint my nails with clear, light eyeliner and mascara boom. I live in so-cal lower desert world class golf resort area, We have a huge gay community here, I get hit on by men & women gay & straight. My girl hates it. I am happy just being me and you can too, Thank god for the chaz's & cait's and sites like this one, There is a HUGE amount of cis gals here in binders chopped hair and no make up anywear, lesbian and straight, A good number in my AA homegroup. I don't know what it is like where your at but here, It's just about anything goes, YOU WILL BE FINE, LOVE I AM SURE!

It's not what others think of you, But what you think of you!

Your in the right place! Peace, Clear. the girlyman
