PDA

View Full Version : Without thinking about or planning it, I think I have started to transition.

I have been lucky these past few years where I telecommute every day for work. This has allowed me to wear almost exclusively woman’s tops and pants/leggings every day. In between the few business trips I let my hair grow out and always have brightly colored finger nails. To top it off I wear long dangly earrings every day and frequently a necklace and/or bracelet.

When my wife and I go to our cabin, we are always greeted as two ladies. I even encourage it in my conversations with the people we come into contact with. For example, when a hostess mentioned that she was envious that are nails were always so beautiful, I respond that one of the reason we come up to the mountains for “girls” weekend was to get our nails done.

At one restaurant that we are regulars at, I now use the ladies room. I am more comfortable using it due to the way I dress, than the men’s. Over the past year, I have run into a couple of the servers in the restroom and had pleasant conversation with them while washing our hands. Even one time with the manager and her young daughter.

I now have two new neighbors that think that my wife and I are married couple. One asked how we are related and I said that we married. She said it is great that we can now marry each other and that it must have been hard before we could. When the other asked if we had any children, I said no. I told her that neither one of us was that interested in getting pregnant and that when we were younger, two women adapting a child was not really accepted. She agreed that back 30 years ago that was very true.

So I guess that with the way I dress and talk to people, I have transitioned.

Hi Richelle,

I've had very much the same sorts of experiences, even being asked if my wife and I were a same-sex couple. It sounds as though you are now full-time (I'm not), but you raise an interesting point. Does "transitioning" mean you have to be full-time? Whatever, it is wonderful that you are getting the kind of acceptance that you have -- it says a lot about the comfort zone that you and your wife have found. I just wish others could find that kind of comfort with wives / SO's that we have.

It does seem life is getting more comfortable.
