Amanda I feel your response to Adina was deep and meaningful, but way too deep for me.

My simple philosophy is no one is black or white (well unless you are black or white and want to be white or black. M Jackson springs to mind) and society in general is generally too fixated to stop and allow a persons Karma (?) to be free to be THEMSELVES.
We, males generally have a pre-conditioned pack hunter mentality, are constantly fixated on conforming and even putting down the very people we are jealous of.

Basically the band of ‘normal’ Male behaviour and being acceptable has narrowed in my view and even most of US would never venture to that Office function or party in a dress.
When in fact years ago many, many men were keen to whack on a frock for functions with NYE being the most popular.
But we do often see young males dressed at ‘dress up’ parties, sadly often with the obligatory safety boots, but that is a symbol of masculinity I guess.
It would be nice to see where these males are at in their head as one thing is certain, it is not a one off and the desire to look and feel good again will never go away. And thus they find themselves on the merry go round of fighting and accepting themselves and their fears of the unknown in themselves.
Yet in emails we are bravely ready to take on the world but we are safe here under Amanda’s umbrella.
Well unless we get the generally weird assumption that we must really be a Women inside and go on to have SRS and DEMAND acceptance. Well society thinks they understand this and it must be alright.
Whereas us Males can find acceptance, even if it is only privately, and enjoy the best of both worlds. And without the hassles of dressing to impress 24/7!
Yep I am actualy suggesting that we actually enjoy being a man and enjoy it. And many (real) Gals can actually relate to ane njoy your honesty too.
For all the effort I have myself put in to help others I can’t say I have made any difference as 98% of the world still think Men wearing frocks and enjoying the fact that they can look good is still an oddity totally misunderstood.
Bring on Katoomba!!!

I’m trying to relate this to the topic of gender spectrum and scales. You seem to be saying that you view gender as either female (SRS/Transition) or male (put on a dress in boots). But I can’t comment on this simplistic model unless I’m sure that that is what you are saying. Suffice it so say that the TgR survey provides no real support for binary gender models in TgR. Maybe another interesting discussion to be had in Katoomba! Amanda

There are Hormones and hormones. I know many who have no intention of transition, nor of losing their ability to function as a male. Really we should all be proud of our maleness and it is not something to be embarassed about just because we desire to wear a dress.
Breasts are the epitome of feminess and they too feel strongly about their breasts.
The other thing with Hormones is that they are mind altering, you can get into a differnet world, maybe a femme mentality, but it can be addictive and overpowering to the extent that you make stupid baseless decisions that were never your intentions. It is a fine line but be careful.
Yes there is a regular cocktail for SRS that delete the c..k but there are more middle of the road things too.
Aldactone, under various names, is one hairy females use. It is sort of incredible, I used it and it makes your primary hair grow better, head and it decreases the secondary hair. Whether it would grow hair on a billiard ball I have no idea.
As a female hormone it can and not always start breast development, which supposedly is if your Mum had big breasts you might grow some too. Yes it does, sometimes.
It is also basically a diuretic so fairly harmless. See your Doc first for medical advice first!
But, and there is always a but, when you stop the hair reversal effects REVERSES and you could become hairy all over like I did! Sure I still have a healthy head of hair, just more elsewhere.
I am very happy with my little man Boobs though.
If and if I ever started again it would have to be basically forever. Not so easy when your personal life can change from week to week.

Hi all.
I see this discussion has been slow, as in dead but was wondering if there are some genuinely interested people out there at present as a I may be in a situation to get involved with the dream.

Hi Amy and all
like an situation in life there can be bad days and even worse days.
But generally the NSW Police Force has been trained to be no discrimatory as that is the world we (sipposedly) live in and theres should be no hassles.
Yes you may get a smarty who will purposely ‘Sir’ you but generally they don’t and shouldn’t care.
The other point I would like to bring up is that if you are decently dressed and look like or are getting hassled is to say you are a Transexual!
As such the law recognises that you have rights and al that crap our Society prides itself in.
Saying you are a crossdresser just doesn’t cut any cake, full stop.
Main thing is if you are legal and responsible, don’t be afraid.
Be proud
Love

I find this thread very interesting and as usual varied in opinions.
My feelings are that us males were raised in a homophobic way and it runs, (and ruins?) our lives.

But it is amazing how us Gals can dress and be attracted to another Gal and have a good time and where penetration is not really part of it all.

Yet I and most of us could not imagine being attrated to Men or being in a Gay relationship.

The worst aspect of all this is that many of us HATE our male appendage and rush off down the road to have it cut off, mainly in the belief that this will make them accepted.

Sadly it has been proven that MOST people who have a M/F sex change become asexual! Meaning they have no sex life.

Whereas a male sex life can be better and of higher heights as we mature, and we can enjoy dressing as part of it. And our Wifes can also enjoy a more sensous love life with their dressed partner, IF they drop the ‘you are a MAN’ barrier.

Life is to be enjoyed, and we are only here once.
