Another Step

[Angela Marie]

Over the past several weeks I have made a conscious effort to more fully embrace my feminine side. I do go out often, shopping, lunch, etc. But I had never gone out with a group of girls before. Last night several of us went out to a local bar/restaurant. I admit to some nervousness but that soon faded. We had a great time laughed, talked makeup, clothes, etc. My inhibitions faded into the background as I passed, what for me, was another milestone. I felt as if Angela's integration was almost complete. There are always more bridges to cross but this was an important one. I feel more fulfilled and confident as I continue my journey.

Angela,
Thanks for sharing a great story it does give encouragement for others .
Sorry to bring up your age but I know I want it to happen soon before my time starts to run out, and you make it sound so worthwhile biting the bullet and going for it !

Hi Angela and CONGRATS! Taking little steps to integrate your feminine side can be both scary but rewarding . . . I think you have lived both and survived to tell the tale. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Getting out and enjoying a social life is another very big step. Now, it's time to think seriously about what your next step will entail, but more so, where you want this journey to lead.

In my wildest dreams I never thought it would lead this far. My journey is ongoing. Although I will not physically transition for a number of reasons, the mental and emotional transition is just as, if not, more important.

It's encouraging to hear about how others are making progress stepping out more and more. I still need to get much better at make up etc to feel brave enough to do that. You gals are all so darn cute! It's hard to compete.

What a wonderful story Angela, and that is a big bridge to cross. I am so happy for you and I hope this roll keeps going and just gets better.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Practice, practice, practice sweetie. The first time I went out I made the Frankenstein monster look like a Victoria Secrets model lol. My profile picture is after a makeover. I'm not quite that good but getting better. I generally pass pretty well and after practice you will also.

Hi Angela,

This is a wonderful story! Yes, it is such a great thing to be able to go out with girl friends and just enjoy being part of the group. It does wonders for our self-confidence. As I have posted in the past, my time with my GG friends is perhaps the most satisfying part of my CD world; they really make me feel as though I am part of their group. And that just adds to my confidence, and to the feeling that "passing" comes from within. It sounds as though you felt the same.

We look forward to hearing more about your "integration", and hope that your experience will encourage others!

Hugs,

Claire

Angela, Good for you, what a wonderful story. Getting out is great.

I've decided even though I can't fully dress every day I can still present my feminine side. So shopping in my size 6 Gloria Vaberbilt jeans and a nice v neck t shirt
