Hi New from Mountain View, Ca

Hi, my name is Karen Sue and I have been a crossdresser since I was about 8 years old. I found a dress my grandmother had stowed away in the attic. I tried it on and the rest is history. I remember coming home from high school and if nobody was home I would put on a dress and do my homework.

That was about 55 years ago and the feeling to crossdress just keeps growing stronger. If I wasn't so ugly I'd like to spend the rest of my life living as a woman.

Anyway, it's really great to have found you all.

Welcome Karen Sue.  I wore my grandmother's dresses as well and like you i felt i would be an ugly woman.  Over time i've grown to accept myself as i am and i'm seemingly better looking than i thought i'd be.

Enjoy your time here.  You will soon find your not alone

 

Hugs,

Hi Karen Sue,  It's a pleasure to meet you.  It's never too late to be who you are.  As far as I know, we only get one crack at this life. Why not enjoy it?  It's just a thought.  We all do what we need to get by but if living as a woman is one of your dreams..it's within your grasp.  Tiny steps lead to bigger ones.  Anyways, it's nice to have you join us here and I hope to see you around.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Hello Karen Sue.  Stop that "ugly" talk!  There is no future in it.  We are all beautiful.  As to trying on another's clothing and never looking back, yes I have as well.  If you would like to live as a woman, then go do it.  Start slowly and just enjoy life.  Its really not that hard.

Hello karen Sue.

 

Dressing in the the attic clothes. Anything Victorian in there? preferable Black. Sorry thats just my goth ego perking up its radar.

 

Welcome to the forum. Im sure your not as rough round the edges as you make out to be. We are by far our own worst critics.

 

Look forwald to your contributions

Welcome Karen Sue.

I think lots of us have thought of ourselves as ugly.

It's probably comes from trying to squelch our inner selves most of our lives. When we let ourself shine forth to the world is when we become beautiful.

The old song "This Little Light of Mine" comes to mind.

The only ugly person is a hater, one that would enjoy of harming or abusing others. In my purview people like you, me and the rest of us here are basically sweet, warm and capable of great love for others and that is where true beauty lies. External appearances are given entirely too much importance by society, when the inner being is often never even considered by those that would judge us.

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Congrats!
