His and Hers?

by beth on May 17, 2013

So, getting back to the more light and fluffy side of the blog – today’s question is this: Does your fem side have her own distinct personality, interests, and tastes? That is, for example, if you are a basketball fan, does “she” like it too? Would you watch a game while dressed? Or is she [...]

Understanding, Part 7

by beth on May 11, 2013

So then, we have arrived at the end of this little extended journey. We come to the completion of the circle where we again return our primary – but not exclusive – focus to the life and experience of the crossdressing male. I’ll repeat myself here on this one point – if you have come [...]

Understanding, Part 6

April 30, 2013

As I continue the series, I feel it’s appropriate to add an unplanned entry here (and after all, a Seven part Series seems more fitting somehow anyway). Mattie posted a thoughtful comment in response to my last entry which, I feel, is a point that deserves some amplification. I’ll only quote excerpts here for reference, [...]

Understanding, Part 5

April 25, 2013

(Note: this entry turned out to be about twice as long as is proper for this speace, but given the nature of the information I am loath to split it. Do know that this is an exception, and not the “new normal.”) As promised last time, let’s take a look at the practical differences between [...]

Understanding, Part 4

April 18, 2013

So then, having established the broad parameters of the distinction between the Transexual and the Crossdresser (which are NOT the only two transgender categories, just the ones most relevant to this site), as we move into the second half of of this series I will take each of those in turn and look just a [...]

Understanding, Part 3

April 9, 2013

(note: before reacting negatively to anything in this post, please read the previous installments in this series) How then may we describe the distinction between transsexual and crossdresser? To be fair, one must acknowledge the old saw that implies that a crossdresser is simply a transsexual three years earlier. There is some truth to the [...]

Understanding, Part 2

March 31, 2013

All too often within the trans community, efforts at distinction – which is a very necessary thing in the process of understanding – are read as efforts at competition, a seeking of superiority. Most of the time this is not the case. I will readily acknowledge that the position-seekers are out there. I’ve been grieved [...]

March 27, 2013

Here we go. Come in, take a seat. The lecture is just about to begin. (this post is about twice as long as the normal post here. i beg your indulgence and will try to avoid making a habit of it!) As I alluded to last week, I’m going to attempt to make this series [...]

Information please . . .

March 24, 2013

So I was looking back through the archives in an effort to see what subjects had gotten too much or not enough attention in order to sharpen my vision as I consider future subject matter and I noticed that I’d failed to note the passing of TGI’s Five Year Anniversary. So before I dive into [...]

What’s in a name?

March 19, 2013

Sometimes I fear that I may be recycling a discussion which has already been offered in years past in this space, but there are so many facets to this life that one can never be quite sure even what they themselves have discussed before, let alone what others have written. Hopefully that if I should [...]
