I have recently changed my name from Janis to Diana West.
I do so because I feel myself evolving and Janis no longer reflected who I was.
I chose Janis from Janis Joplin who was unattractive and...

No matter how I'm dressed, I'm "highly-charged" as it were.

I couldn't tell you how happy you made me when I read this post.
I thought it was just me and I was doing something wrong.

So now I'll experiment to find a solution. Where's my pnuematic nail gun?

Congratulations!!! They are wonderful, aren't they?
I can definitely relate to your excitement.
Last week, I was shopping and the SA let me try on some forms. The moment I tried them on I felt,...

Guilt vs. Rationalization.
I stopped thinking in those terms.

No one is getting hurt by my crossdressing pursuits.
If I lie, it's because the time is not right to reveal the whole truth.
If...

Congratulations.
Shopping becomes so much more fun after the phobia vanishes.

There's a hypnotic file that I listen to to increase my feminine mannerisms.
I don't really go intio a trance but the hypnotist really describes som ekeys things like women take up less space then...

I only think that when I'm in my "guy" clothes.

I wore mascara one night and had to get up early to have a breakfast with my buddies.
When I showered, I didn't wipe off the mascara too well and it smeared under one eye. During the breakfast, one...

I have a couple of times, but only as a joke.
The girls thought it was so funny to send me flowers because I'm such a "guy". Both timess they sent the flowers to where I was working. I acted...

I'm begining to wonder if there is a desire to be caught.
Last week, I put on fake nails three times at work. I kept hiding my hand, but I'm sure a couple people saw.

Used to be lipstick or mascara.
Now it's toe rings.
Who knows what'll be next week.

This post is great.
Sure, some of these are answered in other posts but having it all in one is great.
Now for some of my answers.
1) What do you sacrifice to dress?
Time. It takes me lots of...

I would love a place like that with a slight twist.
For me, it would be where I could wear makeup and jewelry but not necessarily a wig or skirt.

And just how long will that takes?

I most definitely feel there is a connection.

As a writer, give me a blank computer screen or paper and see what I can do.
Transformation is an art and becomes art.
In my mind, I share the...

Maybe not so much feminine as androgynous.

Life is an adventure. And that never gets dull.
To say that the newness is wearing off would be that you'd stop participating in this forum. I believe you've merely incorporated it into your life....

Sounds wonderful.
I hope to find someone in a salon with such understanding and helpfulness.
Does "Linda" or "Liza" know anyone in the south Chicago suburbs?

Are there any tips that she gave you...

Ok, I'll bite. I feel vibration both, but a tad bit more on the bottom.

I do think it is a good point that he may have wanted to pass and be unnoticed. It could make him self-consicous.

In my case, even if someone paid me a compliment, I would become self-conscious....

I went with neither happy or sad.
I'm more relaxed as a result of my crossdressing.

The question is more: What will you do next time?
