Rules
1. I am a male to female transgendered person. If the whole subject of transgenderism grosses you out, please do not continue to follow this blog. Eventually there will be pictures and discussions about men dressing as women and going out in public. If you are offended by this subject, I suggest you search again.
2. Cyberbullying and harassment of any sort will not be tolerated. Any posts that harass transgenders or any other member of the LGBT community (including their significant others) will be immediately deleted and the violator removed from the blog. NO EXCEPTIONS.
3. There are no pictures or stories of a sexual nature on this blog. If you are looking for this kind of a blog, please look elsewhere.
4. Anyone is welcome to follow my blog, and much like an equal opportunity employer I will not restrict access to anyone based on their race, color, religion, national origin, creed, or especially sexual orientation. We are all equal in my eyes!

Transgendered in the news

This morning I was watching the news and a story came on about a couple from Dallas who are attempting to get a divorce. "So what?" you might ask. Couples get divorced all the time. The issue is that the male in the couple was once a female. After the reassignment surgery, his drivers license and birth certificate were changed to list him as male. Unfortunately, his wife decided that she does not want a divorce. Instead, she wants the marriage nullified because she now feels that the marriage was same sex (she knew before they were married that her SO was once a female) and same sex marriages are illegal in the state of Texas. The ironic thing is that if she would agree to a divorce, there would not be an issue since he is legally registered as male on all official documents including his birth certificate and the marriage license. Here is the link to the story. http://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpp/news/transgender-case-tests-marriage-laws-121211
Here is where this affects me. They had a short snippet of this story on the news last night. My wife was next to me when it came on. As soon as they mentioned transgendered and same sex marriage, she goes "Ewww" and turns her head away. Therein lies the reason why I have a "Don't ask, don't tell" relationship with her when it comes to my dressing. She would run away screaming flashing a crucifix in my face if I were to open up to her.

    Welcome to the blogs. I came by from Meg's blog and I have read what you have posted over the past two months.
    Like any man who has ever worn a dress I have tried to deal with nomenclature. For me I guess I am most comfortable as a CD. Crossdressing is something that I do because I like to do it. I underdress daily and get as dressed as possible as often as possible.
    I am twenty years older than you and still trying to think about getting out into the civilian population.
    My old football coach understood that 'you can not coach speed'. As a CD I do not live in fool's paradise and understand that you cannot coach size. I am a big guy. My male personna works well as a big guy. I am a nice guy but professionally my size and appearance has been an asset as a guy.
    I have enjoyed reading your posts. I like you candor and your realistic approach to things. I really liked your first two posts...especially the 'realizations'. As we age we realize more things all the time.
    Keep up you good work and I will try to stop in from time to time.
    Pat
