The title to my thread says it all. I'm new to this group and forgive me if this topic was already visited. I've been a closet crossdresser for some time and up until a year ago or so realized that I was much happier en femme. Since taking the first step out in the public eye rather than just in my home I haven't looked back. You realize that you are happier with your innerself and know who you are. It doesn't matter what people think as long as your confident with yourself. Along the way I have met so many people that couldn't be kinder and supportive. Lady Gaga said it right about being born this way and she couldn't be more accurate. We all have the fear of the unknown.....what people are going to think. Ask yourself do you really care? Most people I have come across in my travels have complimented me on my outfit, nail color,hair,make up etc. As you go out think most people looking at you really don't have the courage we do by expressing ourselves in the way we do. I have shopped in malls en femme or even in guy mode and the sales associates couldn't be any nicer. Just be honest that you are shopping for yourself and you will be treated like any other customer. My favorite store to shop in is bebe. Love their clothes. I'm in bebe once a week(various locations as I travel a lot) met district managers, been invited to model for them when they have store events(which I have done numerous times) in fact the one bebe I frequent the stylists have said to me one day they didn't recognize me in guy mode. Even other clients in the dressing rooms have complimented and wished they had my legs. When I go get my hair colored my hairdresser has chosen colors for me and does a great job with my hair. My advice to all just do it, walk out that door, be yolurself, and be happy. I know I am and have no regrets.
