Hi Everyone -

I am new here and in the process of trying to figure out a side of me that I've ignored or pushed down much of my life until recent years.

I'm in my mid 60's, and when I have time completely to myself, I dress as and enjoy my feminine persona. No one else currently knows about this side of me but my therapist and wife. For a number of reasons am cautiously coming out.

Since my desire is to be a woman when I can be in that place, my situation seems to extend beyond simply crossdressing, but since I'm not uncomfortable being a man nor looking to give it up entirely at this point, I'm not completely on the full transgender end of looking to be a woman 24/7 either. Admittedly I don't myself find expressing as a mix particularly satisfying.  I do know that when I am in my woman persona, I do enjoy it and would love to be able to be that more of the time were other considerations not factors.

Look forward to joining more conversations 🙂


Hugs
Jaymie

Hii,

Welcome to Susan's Place, Jaymie! 💓

Hello Jaymie Z,

I'm Lori Dee. Welcome to Susan's Place!

Thank you for that wonderful introduction.

We strive to make this a safe place to find information and share your thoughts and comments. No matter who you are, you are always welcome at Susan's Place.

It is important to remember that gender is not binary (masculine or feminine). It is a spectrum, so there are an infinite number of points in between. Your therapist can explain this to you and help you find the answers you seek. Many members here have experienced similar thoughts and feelings to you. Maybe by reading their stories, it will help you identify where you are on the spectrum and how you want to handle it. We all have similar stories, but our paths are unique to each of us, depending on experiences, life situations, and environment.

While exploring the website, when you click on the HOME button, you will see a page listing all of the various sub-forums by category and topic. Each sub-forum has a description of what that forum is about, as well as any guidelines for posting.

Please keep in mind when posting that this is an ALL-AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets. Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.

I will add links below that are important for new and returning members. Pay special attention to the links in RED.

Until then, if you have any questions about the Susan's Place site and the Forums, please feel free to contact me at    LoriDee605@outlook.com

Once again, welcome to Susan's Place!

Hi, Jaymie, and welcome.

I think you'll find that there are others here who are in similar circumstances.

Please do join in or start conversations. I look forward to hearing more about you.

Hi Jaymie,

Welcome. There are certainly advantages to being a man that many of us would not like to give up.
I doubt I'd have the paid up house or retirement investment portfolio that I currently own if I were born as a woman in the 1960s.  The engineering job I had would not have been available to me.
