Basically, I'm a bisexual male, and my best friend from high school is transgendered. I've suddenly decided to go on a mission to get to know more people who are transgendered, and with any luck make some new friends.
For some background, I suppose, I'm a second year college student in Indiana. 19 years old and still working out things in my life. I've been through straight phases, gay phases, and I've basically settled around the idea of being bi. I don't use forums all too much anymore, so I've likely lost my touch with regards to writing these things... I guess it's safe to say that I do enjoy cross-dressing, though it holds no sexual appeal (so I don't fall under transsexual). It was probably resultant from the fun I had when my sister would dress me up in dresses and makeup for most of my youngest years. Heh, if I had one of those skirts, I would probably still do the spin-around thing where it flies up from the spinning. ::)
Though, honestly, I've never pursued it. It's still kind of taboo and I think I'll keep it as a personal thing.
So, hello I guess. It's nice to meet you all.

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the forum. I think it is very kind of you to support your friend the way you do. Lots of people will normally just turn their backs to transgendered people.
You will make lots of new friends here and discover that we are normal people, just like any one else. We were just born with the wrong "attachments" :laugh:
Most, if not all transgendered people do not derive sexual pleasure from wearing clothing from the opposite sex. We wear it because it brings our bodies and mind into alignment. Transvestites will wear clothing from the opposite sex and sometimes derives sexual pleasure from doing so.
Well, get yourself a skirt and spin around! :laugh:
Keep on posting in the forums and you will soon be back into the swing of things.
