Hi guys,

I'm taking that cheeky approach since what the heck- but I like the tone of this group's discussions and it kind of feels like "ok we are guys but...what are the possibilities?"

By way of intro- I'm 70, married 35 yrs [and I love my wife tho she is not happy at all about this], and I have been wrestling with this thing since age 4 or 5. The most explanatory theory is that my hormone washes in development were such that I feel like I am a woman when I look out and like a man when I look down. It is as if I have a vagina but I don't. I am not upset with my body, just kind of darn it why the werewolf facial hair? I love to wear dresses and feel absolutely at home, something very deep. I have been gradually freeing my emotions for expression, and that was the worst of the penalty for being male. I also am artistic and love the color and styling and now am sewing up a storm to create the wardrobe I always wanted, often starting with thrift store clothes and remaking them.

I have made quite a passage from desperate kid finding cast off girl's clothes or even when there were none, like when I was working on a ranch, hiding in the hayloft and modeling a side tie bikini out of rags, to today, a perfectly comfortable mature and active and friendly and capable male in a dress, and no one asks me my pronouns- they just call me sir, and it is fine with me, since in this case sir means what you see in front of you- a male enjoying his femininity so much one could say he was a woman and not feel that was wrong either.

I have studied all that composes gender inside out and backwards and I feel now I have a pretty good handle on it and can comfort most who are uncertain or struggling with some decent options for their situation. I still have lots of questions, since one feature of gender is that it is a massive lifelong soup composed of how we feel [along thousands of different nerves] and how others feel and reflect back relationship based on their own complex history. But the good news now is that a lot of people actually wish someone would step out of line and buck against gender restrictions so they can just possibly be just a little freer. A lot of females are quite happy when males get off their high horses. And overall, there is a lot of room for us and the catastrophic threat environment we may have heard was there isn't there in most places if we are not living on the streets or in some other vulnerable position like that.

Here is a link to my Hi Guys! folder where I have photos and videos in which I model those super fun outfits I always wanted, and happily invite you to do the same
