hello everybody. I've been reading over my roomies shoulder for some tiome now, and have finally mustered up the courage to go online myself and offically join in.
From everything i've seen, folks here seem really friendly and supportive, and i'd love to joib in the discussion. i'm not as wordy as my firends here but then i don';t live on the computer as much as he does
ANyhow i'm 53, and most of my life have called myself a crossdress - only becaise that was the only word we had for it for a long time. I tried marriage when much much younger, but it onl lasted 3 years. (No children thankfully!)
I don't think at this point in my life I could do what others have done and be out at work as the company i work for would never accept it, and i'm to old to go looking for another job.
Since living with Scott and his wife (my roomies), i've come to become much more confident in myself and my right to be who i am though, and want to keep exploring those things.
when guys around me joke about being a lesbian trapped in a mans body, i just cringe cause its so close to the truth for me. All my life, from my first memories at around age 4, i remember trying to dress in my sisters clothes and wanting to play with their things but back then a boy couldn't plat with dolls or do dressup without being lectured to and punished.
In the years in bretween i've come to be ok with myself and my urges, and be more comfortable with who i am, but I still have a lot of regrets. Scott has urged me to come online here and try reaching out to other men/women/? like me. i've tried a few online chat places before but frankly they were more cruising places ot hook up with guys, and i never felt comfirtable saying anyhing about how i felt there or being real.
I'd like to be able to express myself more and ask questions without being judged, so I'm coming here to try that. The polls are already fun and i can see me doing thm alot! thanks everyone for those!
glad to be here - thanks again!
Mellisa
