    Been there done that like most of us. As I'm in a relationship I have to be very guarded where and when I dress. The main regret is losing all those great clothes and girlie stuff.

    OK I admit it - I have kept my minis!!!!

    Robbi - you ask 2what purpose does it serve" but the answer is simple - it serves Robbi's purpose and Robbi's purpose counts along with many others. Of course yoy have to strike balances, but unless more asnd more epeople recognise that Robbi, along with the Amy, Pauline, April and all of us count, then the balance will always - and unfairly - be tipped against us. What we do is not wrong, causes no harm to others, is fun, makes us and others happy. Even if you can't be Robbi very much cherish what she is and recognise her validity. XX

    Now then, back to the minis ...

    ermmmm, am i the only person, who has no guilt about my sexuality??? or who i am?
    i was born male, prefer female style. i am honestly two people, him and me.

    I have read all these comments and can realte to everyone in one way or another. l came out to my wife a few years ago it was the guilt that drove me to come clean. She was ok with my dressing to begin with then turned on me told me to stop. Well like a kid thats had the run of the toy factory I was flattened deflated so down. But i couldnt stop but the ultimatem that went with the stop order that scared me. There was is no way can I stop as you al know so here l am back in the closet nearly. I am lucky in that l work away a lot and take Veronica with me. I have to say when l am away l have no feeling of guilt at all and quite offen phone home while dressed giggle. l have offen wondered where l wouyld be now if the internet had been available to me when l started down this road when l was 8. Well enough of my rambling love to you all and just a question why of why are we girls so supportive...bye for now xxx

    im know wha you mean veronica if the internet had been around when i was younger i think i would have had a completely different life by now .
    i always wanted to play with the girls (still do lol)
    but i think i would be full time by the age of 20 if the internet was there then

    i think im waffling now hope i make sense
    i may be having a blonde moment again xx

    Unless you live full time as a woman, which few of us here do, then its a balance between work family and T girl time. So its back to the guilt ( or not...and I do believe we shouldnt feel guilty) and Marianne's favorite subjecy - mini skirts xx

    mind you to be able to wear a mini and get into chat here would be double fun. A conservative day today as i am in a maxi dress - I am 5' 10" and it touches the floor, so must be designed for T girls. P xxx

    Jallie, I would copy and paste your blogs etc from TINT and upload your pix back from there - as of 16th April TINT will cease to exist.
    Re dressing your age - why not do both? Dress 40ish and how you want? P xx

    I love this thread... I don't have any guilt anymore. I'm in a LTR - she knows has done for 10 years - finally got there I think. I can dress when I want and go out - and as I have that, the need to panic about getting my next fix has gone.

    Also I get my kicks from places like Transtastic and Sparkle - and meeting my mates in DRAB. Jes's all I wanna do is wear a dress every now and againoh and go out in public and cause chaous.

    The guilt passes - just need to be honest with yourself and other - not matter how hard that may seem at the time. If it's over, it's over - times the healer - but you need to start that clock ticking and not dig yourself in any deeper.

    becca, i was married, didnt last long. life and things as is. dont ask cos (well as far as im concernd) it was funny.
    not a lot of t friendly places down here, santa cruz is ok, as far as it goes. which quite honestly isnt very far.
    not knocking our gay breathern(yer like hell) seems we t women arnt welcome.
    gran canerias, ie maspolomas, next month, about 60 thousand screaming queens, omg ear plugs please, get the picture of life down here.
    so no guilt, hehe think its a spanish thing about dressing. half the country does it, at the drop of a hat, or knickers??????

    proberbley why there are so many fiesta,s here???
    i love to dress, but cant anywere near were i live. could cause to much trouble, as my male half works for a charity. sort of raise a few eyebrows. so its about a 100k trip to be myself.
    so life is as life is. no guilt getting on with life.

    i have never felt guilty about being a tranny, the monster [partner] knows and has done so for a long time now, and if she does not like it, she knows where the gate is, i know that sounds a bit harsh, you do not know the full story, so no silly remarks, lol. i do not see why any of us girls should feel guilty, collette.
