Handing in my man card

[Candice Mae]

Over the last few months I've spent a lot of time in discovering you I am. And I've come to the conclusion that I'm no longer a man. Although I'm still male genetically, I no longer see my self as a man. I feel more confident and at peace with my self when presenting as a woman. Where I go from here in terms of transitioning is still to be decided, but I am starting to look into things for if I start.

For now I'm handing in my man card, and starting a new chapter in my life. The changes will probably be slow, no one really knows about my female side. And I've got to be careful how and to who I reveal my self too.

Best wishes, Candice... don't let the turkeys get you down!

[Cynthia Anne]

I hope things go well for you! I've done the same thing! My biggest regret is I waited so long to do so!

[Tracii G]

Good Luck! You've got the looks sorted anyway!

[Kate Simmons]

It's okay to hand in the "man card" at this point as you can always get it back if you want to Hon. Only after physical transition would that be impossible and too late. Good luck with being a woman my friend. :)

[Suzanne F]

Good luck Candice. I applaud your courage! It takes much strength to be who we are.
Hugs

[JayeB]

Good luck. You look wonderful.

[JohnH]

Candace,

Good for you! Finally you are emerging from the stifling restrictions placed on men as far as clothing, grooming, and behavior.

I am slowly emerging from those restrictions, and to add icing the the cake my wife tells me all the time that I am not a man! :)

Congrats girl, but be careful for sure, you sure did you have a mancard, you always look like a GG for sure, will be reading all your threads on how it goes, I only wish you the best girlfriend. hugs.

Years ago, I thought that I had a man-card but I was faking it. The truth was that I never had a man-card and therefore I didn't need to return one.

[steftoday]

Best wishes on your journey, Candice. You've got a great start. Please keep us posted on your progress?

[Angela Campbell]

a man card? I never had one, I guess I never earned it

[MissTee]

Congrats on having the courage to become the real you. Best wishes.

[Lisa Diane]

Candice, If I could look like you I don't think that I would have accepted my man card. Congrats and good luck in everything that you have to face on the road you have decided to follow.

[AndreaSC]

Wishing you the BEST!!! You look INCREDIBLE!!!

[AmyGaleRT]

Candice, we all have to be who we are, always. Good luck to you as you swap the man card for, hopefully, a new pink passport. :)

I never qualified for a man card in the first place. I still can't figure out how I became a father! I didn't think I COULD!

The good news is that you are able to make this decision while you are young enough to really live the life you want. There may be hard days ahead, but a good gender therapist will be able to help you through those days, especially in the early stages.

You are a beautiful woman, but even more important, never forget you are a beautiful PERSON! You have the right to make these choices and live the life you've wanted.

I wish I had been able to find a group like this when I was in my early twenties. It would have saved me so much pain, suffering, and frustration. If I knew then, what I know today, I would have wanted to transition ASAP. Fortunately, treatments are safer now, and surgical techniques have improved radically - when you reach that stage. Hope you have a long and happy life, and that you will continue to share your experience, strength, and hope with as you transition.

Best Wishes and please keep us up to date darlin.

Best wishes, and Godspeed.

Transgender people are normal people, IMO.

Peace & love.

[Michelle789]

Candice, I wish you the best in your transition!!!

[Marcelle]

Candice,

I wish you well on your journey. Just because you are choosing to live as a woman doesn't mean you have to hand in your man card. IMHO it takes a very big man to explore this side of who we are. :battingeyelashes:

Thanks for all the support Ladies, I'm actually fighting to hold back the tears. This is gonna be a slow process, I want to do it right. Right now I'm looking into options in my area, and things that I can start doing that are not to drastic.

I don't like posting pictures here, due to the reduced security. But I just want to thank everyone again for their support.

Good look my dear. Just remember to always be happy.

[Candice Mae]

Thanks Jenni.

[karanne]

Looking good, girl.

[Cheryl123]

Congrats Candice. Just take things slow, and you will be fine. Happiness is the goal and I'm sure you will find yours. (And you look so wonderful too).

[Kaz]

Candice, I so know that feeling. Good luck... and don't worry about set backs... they happen

[kimdl93]

Once you've come to a clear realization of who you are, then the path forward becomes apparent. From all that our TS members have shared, you know it won't always be easy, but one hopes that in the end you will feel complete.

[Candice Mae]

Thanks ladies!

[Celina]

You look great Candice! Wishing you all the best on your new path in life, I truly hope you come out on the other side as the person you want to be! :)

[NicoleScott]

It's not a card that makes you a man. You'll have to turn in "other things".

if your thinking about transitioning, then showing pic to a bunch of fellow dressers scattered across the globe should be of little concern. Besides you have a great body and should transition well, I wish you the best and by all means keep us informed and don't be afraid to share photos with the likes of us.

[Allison Quinn]

We appear to be in the same boat :) I wish you all the luck in the world and whatever ends up happening for you I hope it makes you happy good luck!

Also you look great ^^ The picture you posted is lovely

I've posted a lot of pictures on this site, some that I'm half naked. I'm not worried about my fellow dressers on here, just that this section is available to any one who visits this site.
