I am a life long crossdresser and have known since I was about 5 or 6 that I was "WRONG". I spent most of my life hating myself and my body. I have not been a very happy person but have always had to put on an act. Any of this sound familiar? I think if allowed those of us who are TG would probably win the Oscar every year. We have had to become world class actors.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums.

Come on in and have a seat here in the members lounge while I get you some hot cocoa and my special double chocolate chip cookies.

We like to view the playground as a real place not just virtual so when the smell of fresh cookies gets around everyone knows that we have a new member and all of the friendly people will come to meet you, but hold on to those cookies, they usually want them too. :D

To make the font or color changes you have to type in between the opening and closing brackets or type, highlight and then select the fonts, etc.

Its a little different but it works.

Love ya,

Sally

Hello Lissa,

Welcome to the playground!

Lots of great people to share your experiences with and to help you in your journey.

Put on an act you say? I think we all have done that a time or two;)

I too have been a crossdresser for about 40 years now.

Please feel comfortable here, read about the wonderful people here and post, post, post all you questions!

Thanks ladies. I t feels nice to have such a warm welcome. To add a little. I am 49 years old and am just now starting to accept that I am TG. I still don't know where this is going and what will happen. I have a friend who is transitioning and I have been trying to learn a few things from her.

Welcome Lissa,

You put it very well...it's just a shame that people shun, hate, and even kill other people because of the clothes they wear. I'm looking forward to more of your insight.

Love,

Marissa

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

    • Adrianna Danielle
      I have been having issues from my past and going to get help for.It has been from my parents whom are deceased that forced me into being the person whom I really was not before I came out.Therspist I see for my transitioning said going to refer me a therapist that deals with ptsd and anxiety issues.

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉
