Things you wished you'd known...

[Sally-Ann]

Here's an interesting thought...

What one thing (or more than one if you like ) do you now know, that you didn't know when you started CDing, that you'd have know had you been a GG? (Related to CDing, of course! )

For me, it was the simple knowledge that the knickers go *outside* the suspenders, otherwise having a pee becomes somewhat complicated!

[orchard]

I might know less now.

[Kate Simmons]

Wish I'd have known more about purses. I can never find anything in that dang thing.

[Michelle 51]

to keep your hands and nails smooth and start at the toe and roll up slowly so you don,t ruin panty-hose but i,ve the hang of it now baby. justabit

[becky t]

how hard it is to apply liquid eyeliner and how much it aches the back of my legs when in 4 inch heels for longer than an hour...ouch

[obsessedwithpantyhose]

wishd i hadnt spent so many years wasted in hiding,,people r just so wraped up in their own little worlds to notice if there is even anyone standing next to them let alone what ur wearing.

[Angie G]

Wish I'd known 37 years ago that my wife would be OK with my dressing

I wish I would have known that no one cares that I wear pantyhose.
And I wish I would have known it a loooooonng time ago.

[Deborah Jane]

I wish i,d known i,d still be doing this 30 years later, there,s a lot of things i would have done differantly in my life and a lot of differant decisions i would have made because of it!

Oh Hon, I work part time at a supermarket. VERY few GG's can find what they need quickly in their purse. No matter how big or small.

[Sally24]

The social aspects of being a girl. I still have trouble seeing how I should react in certain situations.

I was helping out at a trans wedding and the bride was trying to get everything together for her outfit. The only GG there was helping but I realized afterwards that being dressed I should have reacted like a girl and been helping also! Lots of little things too. It's hard getting up to speed in a few years when GGs get 20 years and more to train for the job!

[Lisa Golightly]

Well by stretching a point to a hormonal TS thing just what a girl mean't by the comment 'My breasts are tender'.... Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

[Joy Carter]

Too much to list here, that's for sure.

What one thing (or more than one if you like ) do you now know, that you didn't know when you started CDing, that you'd have know had you been a GG? (Related to CDing, of course! )

Well the first and most important thing that I know now but didn't then, is that I wasn't the only boy who was using women underwear for himself... That's what I used to think back when I was about 12 years old... Made my life miserable for years...

Second thing: that there was nothing wrong with dressing "en femme"...

On a lighter side, what I know now and I didn't earlier, is to dress in a less tarty style and to use a lot less makeup...

I wish I would have had help at age 11 when I first started wearing my mothers clothes. My wife keeps telling me "It's fun being a Girl" Too bad I had to wait so long to find that out. I did go out yesterday (12-31-07)dressed and wasn't even trying to pass, and had a great time.

[SherriePall]

Good question. Maybe, how easy it is to go shopping. But then, maybe if I known that years ago, it wouldn't have been true! Think about that for a while.

[ericalynncd]

That other gg"s are competition.

Seems we were both too quiet about it Angie. I'm just out with my wife after 37 years too!
If only we did know way back when.

[Staci]

I found out why women say shopping is fun. Until I actually began fully dressing I never realized just how many cute outfits are out there and how many hours you can spend just looking for the next one and then modeling them when you get home. I use to hate going shopping with my mom and sister and then having to watch them try on everything when we got home. Now I do exactly the same thing for my wife. I now give her much more attention when she wants to show me her new purchases as well. It's hard to believe that I had to learn something about how to be a girl before I could be nice enough to give her the attention she deserves.

[Mary Jane]

I wish I had known 41 years ago how much makeup could change your appearance. I wasted many good years.

[christina marie]

that 1 1/2 hours in the mirror is not necessarily for my (her man) benefit, is sometimes just to say to the other GG's, "i look better than you!"

[Dawn Marie]

Wish I would have been moire confident in myself when I was single and doing it 24/7. I liked my life better then but then I had to get married, why I'm still not really sure, maybe scared.
