At its core, emotional pain is an intense feeling of distress, anguish, or suffering that stems from non-physical sources. Unlike the ache from a stubbed toe or a headache, this type of pain originates from events or circumstances that hurt us deeply on the inside.

Jealousy is a complex emotion that encompasses feelings ranging from suspicion to rage to fear to humiliation. It strikes people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations, and is most typically aroused when a person perceives a threat to a valued relationship from a third party.

Terror takes away our sense of safety and may also make us feel helpless, hopeless, and angry. After a scary or traumatic event, a person may no longer be able to go about their usual life in the same way as they could before. This feeling of overwhelming fear can have both short-term and long-term consequences.

      @Heather Shay thanks! 💗   For me, emotional healing begins with self compassion and acknowledging my feelings without judgment.   Setting boundaries to protect my well-being is just as important. Too many times, I’ve placed my heart in the wrong hands, and losing pieces of myself in the process can be deeply painful.   Healing, like everything in life, comes with its ups and downs there will be both good and difficult moments, but each step forward is a step toward wholeness.

      I would suggest that you  call or visit your nearest LGBTQ Center for recommendations of safe nightclubs in your area.  I have visited your area and know that there are a good number of night clubs there that welcome Cross Dressers where you can meet the others in person.  You might also check with your Chamber of Commerce there in Ft. Lauderdale since they have encouraged CD conventions over the years even with your governors POV on things.

      I'm a bit confused here. You say you're waiting to see the letter F on your birth certificate, yet you stated on your profile that Female is your birth gender. Would you be so kind as to clarify this inconsistency. Thanks.   MaryEllen

      Welcome to the forums, Michelle!!! I'm sure you'll find like-minded people here who will share information with you. Feel free to wander around, aske questions or just jump into conversations where you feel comfortable.   You may also want to drop by the introductions forum to tell everyone a little about yourself.

      Hi Gloria,   I think it is so incredible that you are approaching this in such a positive way.  Heather and April have already made good recommendations, so all I can add is that as your relationship progresses, maintain open and honest communication.  I have been married for more than forty years and my wife and I attribute our success living with my feminine side primarily because of healthy and honest communication.  We have had a few rough patches over the  years but we have always gotten through them by communicating with each other.   I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck.

      Government agencies scrub LGBTQ web pages and remove info about trans and intersex people *This also includes disabling social media accounts that support about lgbt+ I hope we still have a place here by this Friday night.

      Hi I new and just looking to meet like-minded people like me. I'm a straight guy that likes to dress up to the nines completely but have no other crossdressing friends or real women to do it with. I would love to find people near me to get all dressed up and maybe go out where that is acceptable but I do not know where and no one to talk to about it.  I'm straight so people like me would be great and genetic women also to help me on that journey.  Thanks Michelle

      It is the easy, weak target, just like a beer can on a tree stump, or yes, the side of an abandoned barn.  Although more in line with the target practice used on the road side memorial maker to a murdered teenager from years ago. When we get enough meaningful laws prosecutions and jail sentences for batterers and killers of Trans people and that type comes to realize it, they sadly will go onto another marginalized group on any pretext they can find.

      Today was fairly stressful at work due to an argument with a 19 year old co-worker. Mind you I've been at this company for almost 19 years now. But this kid didn't want to listen to me. He was ultimately sent home for the remainder of the day.... anyway I've been stressed all day because of it.   So I got home about an hour ago and started to eat some bugels. My wife bought them for herself. She gets mad and tells me to put some in a bowl so I don't eat the entire bag. I tell her I'm stress eating. She looks at me funny like and says guys don't stress eat only women do. So I say back to her maybe I'm a woman. She says what are you going to do  pull a Bruce Jenner on me? I say what if I do? She says I'll leave you then. Then she called me weird and left the kitchen with the bag of bugels and goes into the living room. I hear her talking to our cat Bella, let's stress eat some bugels together Bella...... lol   I say so you're mocking me? I tell her that's B.S.   I guess I know where I stand now.

      The leg cream I use is Bional V-Nal.  Try it.  You only need a tiny bit.  You might change your mind about hiding your legs!   I've used it for years and dread the day they decide that brand has run its course.  I put it on about ten minutes before putting tights on.   It feels a bit oily for a minute or two but I use it really sparingly, and massage it well in, and it absorbs into your skin quickly.   I use it on my arms (if they're going to be visible, even through a sheer sleeve) and my neck, and feet if I'm in strappies or sandals.    On the neck it's never damaged a costume necklace, that I'm aware of, as some perfumes will, but I'd probably be a bit more cautious of using it if I was wearing a pricier necklace.  Generally, I swear by the stuff!
