How Many GGs Are Girlfriends to Your Female Self?

[JackieD85]

How many women not only know about your female self, but they are so accepting and supportive that they can be considered girlfriends?

I?m lucky to have 5 girlfriends (3 female friends, my aunt and a female cousin) as Jackie. For a long time they obviously didn?t know she existed out of my own fear of telling them, but they treat her like one of the girls. It?s a beautiful thing.

Hopefully, each of you has or will have the acceptance of at least one of these types of girlfriends. Not only when talking about girl stuff, but for peace of mind as well.

XO,
Jackie

1. My wife -- we go out to dinner, or for drinks, or shopping, as two women. Sometimes we hold hands.
2. A lesbian couple who are old and dear friends
I went to a street festival and then out for drinks with all of the above yesterday.
3. Another old friend who I came out to several years ago. She and I have had a couple girls' days out, with shopping and lunch. We also regularly go to the movies with me dressed. We refer to her as my "movie wife", since my actual wife doesn't like to go out to movies.
With all of these women friends we don't talk about clothes and fashion or other "girl's topics" so much -- we just talk about what's going on in our lives. That doesn't mean we don't *ever* talk about clothes, though :-) One of our friends complimented my skirt yesterday, and I said I had to wear a half slip because it was thin, and she said she hadn't worn a slip since junior high.

[SaraLin]

Currently? zero.

Over the years, I've had three or four, but for lots of reasons, they're all faded out of my life.

My wife will not even consider the idea of me having female friends when I'm dressed as a man.
When I'm not -absolutely NOT!
<sigh>

[Georgina]

I currently have five. Three are in the one family. They know me in both male and female clothes and we can meet and act like friends do. I don't have a female persona so I am always the same person no matter how dolled up I am.

[audreyinalbany]

I've got a number of go's with whom I'm acquainted through the UU Society women's group, but they don't classify as "friends." I've thought about coming out to a GG who has been a friend for many years, but truthfully the only GG I'd really like to be friends with is my wife and she's 'not ready to see it"

[TheHiddenMe]

Five, although one I haven't seen for a while.

Two I met because they were SA's at Nordstrom.

One is a former FWB who helped me dress 35 years ago, and loves seeing me dressed.

One is Michelle who often shows up in these pages who I met when I got my nails done 7 years ago, and we hit it off.

The last is the wife of a long time friend. I outed myself to her because they have a trans child, and I thought she might appreciate having someone to talk to. Outing myself has turned out far better than I ever could have hoped and she has met Michelle so we joint text all the time.

I'm lucky, but in part I made my own luck.

[docrobbysherry]

I have a few that met me as Sherry. But, only one is a dear, close friend. Most of the time we hang out when I'm in male mode.

The oddest thing is she calls me Sherry no matter how I'm dressed. And, tells me it's because she thinks of me as a woman!:eek:

And, believe me, there's not much about me that's fem except my clothing when I'm dressed.:battingeyelashes:
Much less in drab!:heehee:

[Natalie5004]

I have struck out completely in that area. My wife would not like it one bit.

[NancySue]

Only one, but an important one, my wife. It?s brought us much closer together. It?s great.

[Fiona_44]

I have a bunch of female friends and acquaintances that know Fiona.

[Heather76]

I don't have any gg's that have met Heather. However, I know one gg who would be happy to go shopping. movies, etc. with Heather. The issue is, she lives a bit too close to us for Heather to make an appearance for fear of being discovered by other friends. Also, I don't know her husband and would not want to risk him being upset if I did try to introduce Heather to her. Some things simply are not worth pressing forward with. She knows I CD and is 100%n accepting and does not understand why my wife has any qualms about it.

[sara66]

I have 2 GG friends, my sister and two cousins that know about Sara. All of them would go to lunch with me or go shopping. :heehee:
My wife knows but prefers not to see me dressed.
Sara

[alwayshave]

The only woman that knows about me is my wife.

[NatalieR]

I'm super lucky! My SO supports and encourages me. One of my oldest friends was the first person I came out to and has been wonderful and super supportive. I told her I had a dream that I was a bridesmaid at her wedding and she said "I wish I knew! I would have asked you!" I made another friend online who became an in-person friend who knows me almost exclusively in woman-mode. I have an older cousin who I always admired who has been another great supporter...So that's 4. Then I have a number of other women friends and relatives who have seen pictures and had conversations.

[Destinyx14]

Only my wife so far, and I don’t see it going further than that anytime soon. It is not something I feel like I would want to share with others. I will say it has worked really well for me and my wife.

[Kris Burton]

I am lucky, I have a supportive wife. However, there are boundaries, and this is ours.

[JackieD85]

That is great, NatalieR. I am so happy for you, girl.

[StephanieLake]

I have one, my best friend. She moved away a few years ago before I rediscovered Stephanie. We used to have drink night, still do via FaceTime. If she still lived close, she said we could go out as Stephanie and Samantha for drink nights and have a blast doing it. I wish she was closer.

[Petra Lynn]

I only have 1 other than my wife, but I couldn?t be any more supportive. When I first told her a few year ago she gave me 2 pairs of jean that were slightly too big for her, she said I bet they?ll fit you try them on now. Then she gave me several tops, also said I could come over and raid her closet anytime I wanted whether she?s there or not. She calls me her brother and sister.

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

Only my wife treats me as her "girlfriend" when I am presenting myself as Teresa. Her role-play is so convincing as she treats me as her girlfriend that I just melt thinking about it. It has become an huge pleasure for us both.

[kimdl93]

Let me think a second. Probably a dozen or so women that I count as friends.

[Robyn n TN]

I have dozens who I would consider good friends. I go out to eat, bars, the pool and even planning on weekend and longer trips with them. I usually go out to straight bars and venues so I meet a lot of women and get to spend a lot of time with them.

[NatalieMN]

I wish I had more but right now it is just my partner. She loves Natalie which is great but I don't really have anyone else that knows. She did tell one of her friends (with my permission) but that was over text and they live states away so not likely that she will see me dressed any time soon.

[HeatherMarie1972]

I have only told one GG that I had any sort of friendship about it but I was always in male dress around her. My wife knows that I dress also. I think a GG friend wouldn't work out too well.

[Andrea Renea]

Just my wife.

Our female friends dont know Andrea and dont really need to.

[CDMargret]

Now that's a great question. I haven't thought about that one. So let's do the math.

There are two male and female couples. We get together and hang out.
There are three female friends. One we meet up with. The others we meet when out at certain events.
There are three male friends. One good friend and two that we meet when at events.

Ten would be the number then. All have seen me dressed. Wow that number has surprised me so much.

My bestest most greatest girlfriendest everest is my lovely wife. Guess that eleven...

[Jenn A116]

I've got one good female friend that knows. We exchange texts semi-regularly. She's my go-to source for girl questions.

In addition, through our local CD group meetings, I've become friends with a couple of the wives. One of them has helped my style my wig and apply makeup.

[susan2010]

I have two good friends from back in high school days that have been out to restaurants, movies, biking, and hiking with me in dress, skirt, or skorts. Another has seen me dressed, and is supportive.

[Cheryl T]

Just the wife in my case.
I would love to have a few ladies I could share myself with. Actually I just wish the family could know. We were at a birthday party a few weeks ago and all I really wanted was to be wearing something pretty and sitting with the gals watching the little girls play and chatting about whatever. Instead I was on the other side talking politics and religion and DIY repairs.

[DAVIDA]

I actually don't know how many.:daydreaming:
My wife, daughter, sisters, niece, friends, cousin.....the list is long.

[Adelina]

I have a couple I?ve been close to getting the nerve to tell, but so far haven?t been able to.

[Jasmine23]

At one time I had 4 GG who basically treated me as one of the girls, they invited me along to girls nights with them, they didn't really see me as a guy, I think they suspected I was gay and would openly talk about guys in front of me. It's obvious to me now that had I told them they would have been accepting, and probably would have loved giving me girly makeovers, but, at the time I was too scared to tell. Over time we drifted apart and eventually lost contact, I often wonder what would have happened had I told them and how differently things could have turned out.

[April Rose]

I have a number of female friends that know about me, but two that are fully supportive. One them recently accepted my proposal of marriage. The other one used to own a bridal shop, and has brought dresses over to my house for me to try on.

[OrdinaryAverageGuy]

My daughter took me for a pedi once, does that count? And no, I didn't go dressed, but I did come home with purple toenails. :)
