When you are 17 years old you have a lot to learn about yourself!

When I started work it was in the city of London.
There was a shop in the city dedicated to corsets. I would look at the manikins in the window but was so nervous about being seen taking so much interest.
I used to imagine how it would feel to have one of those corsets shape me into a girl.
Although I started dressing at the age of four I was now in denial. How could I be so fascinated by female clothes and not recognize that I was CD/Transgender?

When you are 17 years old you have a lot to learn about yourself!:eek:

thats funny, thats about the age that i started to notice older guys hitting on me. That's what mentally started preparing me for what was to come soon afterwards and make me wanna feel that much more feminine. So true so true though at 17. It still fascinates me however how it is programmed into my head that I like being in tights/spandex and stuff and being feminine.

It is the fear that slows down the learning, when we are 17,

[TightsLife]

good point

I'm 17 x 2.5 (roughly) and still learning a lot about myself.

I have come a long, long way! and most importantly so has society in general IMO.

[TightsLife]

i believe you are right. And I don't think its so much people in society accept it as much as people are a little more care free these days and don't rush to judge. Too many other problems to think about.

Well Suzy, being a very late starter myself, I can ask that question at my advanced age. I have learned to just accept the fact that I will always be learning up until that last breath, as some of my earlier convictions and opinions continue to be proved incorrect over time.

Learning curve? No chance here.

My wife reckons I know everything. Nice of her to say such a thing. :daydreaming:

If only the TG community was this open and available when I was that age. Life might have been way different.

Like what I have, but always look at those 20 and 30 something TGirls and wonder what might have been.

Wow, is that ever true. I was sure that this thing that had been with me since early childhood was obvious to others and that I was horribly perverse. If only I knew and believed then, what I know now.

Suzy,
I thought I was grown up at twenty five.
Now days, I am not so sure.
I learn something new every day.

Hi Suzy

When I turned 17, I thought I had all the time in the world to figure out what is wrong with me, and to work out a resolution.
Now that I have crossed 50, my outlook is time is short, I need to experience what I need to before I have regrets of missing out before it's too late

you may have been looking at Axford's window. Had you gone in you could have met the late Yvonne Sinclair behind the counter.
Mind you at 17 you would be so slim that the last thing you would need would be a corset

[Karren H]

At 17 I knew it all! lol

[suzy1]

I think it was Axford's! Well done chris80.:)

At 17 we all thought we new it all Karren.......now we do!:heehee:

[Lexi Moralas]

Just think of all the fun we all could have had if only we were more accepting of our selves when we where younger
