100 Words About Me:
i am beginning my journey into transition rather late in life. For many years, I identified as a cross dresser. But recently I realized I had been denying who I am. I am a female in most ways except my physical characteristics. I have accepted myself as a male to female transsexual and feel like a great weight has been lifted. There is a long way to go on my journey, but it started with a lot of happiness.

Thank You Tamara and feel free to bounce any ideas or thoughts around or at me anytime. Many of us are in the same realm trying to manage our true selves and our present world around us - not an easy task by any means for most!

What if I'm Wrong

Posted on March 3, 2012 at 10:30am 10 Comments

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster for my family and me. Me revelation to my wife has caused her so much pain and anguish. She told our kids that we are having serious issues and may separate or divorce. So that has also been a source of stress.



She has been doing her own research on being transgender and doesn't like what she sees. I have tried to reassure her, but can't because I don't know how far this will progress myself.



Some of her research has led me to… Read More

One Heel out of the Closet

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 2:30pm 12 Comments

So...last week my wife and I were getting ready for a vacation.  I was taking some of my laundry and apparently dropped a pair of my underwear on the way to the washing machine.  She, being the paranoid type and afraid one of the girls might have found them, confronted me about it.

She was very upset by it, but there were children to get places so we couldn't talk right away.  She texted me some during the time and was very direct.  She asked if I was just a cross dresser or if I…

There, I Said It...I am transsexual!

So I had another eventful therapy session this week.  My therapist asked me more about how I fantasize and what I fantasize about.  I told her that my fantasies currently center on women and pleasing them and that there is a strong lesbian theme to them.  I told her that I felt this was because I still am attracted to women even as a transsexual. 

Then it hit me.  Although I had become comfortable with the notion of being transsexual, I had…

Intimacy, Therapy and an aha! moment

Posted on January 12, 2012 at 10:42pm 15 Comments

So yesterday in therapy, I was talking about how my wife and I were having less and less intimacy and how my wife wanted intimacy far more often than I.  My therapist and I talked about this and about how I was willing to provide pleasure to my wife but did not need to be pleasured in return.  My therapist probed a bit more and asked why I felt I didn't need to have sexual pleasure and what would need to change so that I would feel comfortable receiving pleasure from my wife.  We talked some…
