Watershed moment?

[CandaceNichole]

Hi Girls,

Was there a "watershed" moment in your dressing career? I can't decide between two. It was either getting my ears pierced or shaving my legs for the first time. Both were game-changers

[Maria 60]

I could recall many but yours sure are at the top of the list. I believe a huge one was when I had told my wife and she came home one day with a pink bra and panties set. The most watershed moments came after joining here and reading about things I never thought of. I never thought about make-up and jewelry and breast forms and when I started to see a much complete Maria I was always very emotional when looking in the mirror. A few that stick out more then others was the day I decided to go to a crossdressing store to buy a pair of heels. That day I took off my male shoes and exposing my pantyhose feet to a stranger and walked around the store wearing heels with other customers coming in. The other was when I shaved my body and couldn't believe how everything felt so different, so much better, it felt like a huge achievement. I wrote about it lately that my sister in law gave my wife a bag of clothes to give to me and I was so emotional. My wife didn't understand it, but it was a feeling of acceptance. Just sitting here writing this as I'm wearing a pink long silk nighty with my wife next to me can bring on some watershed.

[Kris Burton]

Telling my wife of my proclivity and gaining her acceptance rather than rejection. My femme persona flourished after that.

[Connie D50]

I also would say the first time shaving my legs.

[Genifer Teal]

Discovering new york city, going out and finding acceptance.

[NancySue]

Like Kris, telling and being accepted by my wife. She?s been supportive and very helpful. A blessing.

[April Rose]

Some years back, tired of the binge/purge cycle and its attendant stress, I decided I would dress every day for at least 15 minutes, whether I felt like it our not.

That was a game changer for me.

Well initially it would be my very first experience which I?m pretty sure was putting on a OBG found in the bathroom hamper when I?m guessing I was about 5. That sensuous and secure feeling just felt perfect.
Another was 50 years later when purchasing my first set of breast forms, after all those years of simulating boobs from various materials.

Telling my doctor about my “situation” and receiving my first hormone related prescriptions. The doctor was very kind and understanding.

Wearing a wig for the first time enabled me to see that I would look female enough to go out in public.
