Wow – 3,000 posts!
When I joined this forum nearly five years ago, I never thought I’d have anything to say here. And I thought I’d probably never actually crossdress either, not fully anyway – I was just curious about these feelings I’ve had since I was a child, hoping to confirm I wasn’t alone. What business did I – a big, tall, fat dude – have dressing up in women’s clothes? Ridiculous.
So for more than two years, I remained a lurker, with nary a post to my name. But finally, I just had to know – could I do it? What would I look like? How would it feel to finally dress up, head to toe?
So in the fall of 2010, I took the plunge – and I didn’t look terrible. I looked kinda pretty. Sorta. And it felt amazing! The dress, the hosiery, the shoes, the makeup – all the things I’d tried piecemeal over the previous three-plus decades – so comforting, so exhilarating and – yes – so confusing for this big, fat dude who was and still is all-guy at heart.
That same night, I also broke my silence, and introduced myself to the forum as Julie. It was a few months before I was brave enough to post photos, and a few more before I had the nerve to show my face. I opened myself up to the legions of kindred spirits here, all of whom share in this fascinating, frustrating, fabulous femme thing of ours. I learned, I shared, I commiserated. I got to know so many wonderful people who have offered their support and encouragement, their laughter and tears, their philosophies, their photos and, not the least of which, their fashion advice.
So much of what I’ve learned about myself I owe to the fine ladies here on the forum. With your help and hurrahs through the highs and lows, I’ve come a long way as a crossdresser – from a vaguely pretty fat dude to a quasi-fetching full-figured gal. (The photos below are an abridged history of my femme development, from April 2011 to earlier this month.)
Thank you all so much for what you’ve given me over these past 3,000 posts. And for what I have still to learn, thanks in advance … :kiss::bighug:
