I just feel down and depressed sometimes.  Do y'all feel that way.  I love my wife very much but do not really want her to have to deal with my "hormonal issues" (no I'm not taking hormones)  I am happy when I dress up and now I hate to be in drab sometimes.  Do others feel that that way?  I will not make a full transition to womanhood.  Am I just feeling stupid or what.  Maybe I should not even post this.....................

Jamie there is no need to apologize for your feelings.  I believe many of us have our ups and downs. It's really how you handle these emotions that is key.
Have I wished I was a female since the age of 9 or so , yes. However a full transition is not in the cards for me. Had I transitioned at any earlier age I wouldnt have experienced the joys my 2 children have bestowed upon me over the years.
Find your joy and enjoy your girl time!

Thanks Karrie,
I needed this pic up this morning.  I understand sometimes I don't appreciate what I have and that's the important side.

I have felt the same way. I've felt hopeless, like I will never get to the point I want to be. Don't worry, there are ups and downs in everything. You'll be fine. And you're not being stupid. Its healthy for a person to ask people they know they can trust for help with these things.

Thanks for the reply Corastrasza. Great insight, i need that. That is a beautiful and interesting name.

Jaime:  You're not stupid, you're conflicted.  Comes with the territory.  Some people totally want to be one way or the other.  But not us.  It's a problem but we have to deal with it -- or limit and confine our gender and sexuality, which we don't want to do.  Life for us isn't simple, but we have to deal with the special issues we have.
