I'm transgendered but find that a maintenance dosage of estrogen keeps me from needing to step out of the male persona. I haven't even crossdressed in about six years. I'm 65 and married.
My wife, who's very supportive, has brought up the possiblity of us attending the 2007 Esprit Gala. She's always thought I really want to be farther into the female role than I am, but I feel no pressure to change my life as long as the hormone has it under control.
What I've read about Esprit leads me to believe that it's an intensely emotional experience. I know I would love the time I spent there, but I'm afraid that once the genie's out of the bottle it wouldn't go back in. If my gender dysphoria's not disrupting my life, why tempt fate?
I'd appreciate some perspective from anyone who's attended one of the Esprit Galas.
