I've been on this site about a week now, and I have to admit its been one of the most exciting weeks of my life. To FINALLY talk about this secret to another human being has been a major life achievement. I've even posted pictures of myself and that has also been one of the most thrilling things I've ever done.
I'd like to express one interesting (and flattering) observation:
When I take an artistic picture of a flower or something, a really good picture, maybe a handful of my friends and family will see it. That's nice, sure. But last week when I posted a picture of myself in a skirt suit, the thread count reached over 900 views. Oh my God! :eek:
Even if that number represents only 1/10 of that in real people (90 people), that is still astonishing. Just thinking about that has touched me deeply. That many people have seen me as a cross dresser. Me, a straight man whose been hiding this my entire life, wearing a skirt and bra and looking, well, like a woman. :o A few people have posted compliments and each and every word has practically brought me to tears. I've been a complete and total closet case for over 30 years. Wow! :happy: And you're talking to me as a girl!
Thank you. Thank you for being here, and thank you for letting me share a little piece of myself. A very private and secret piece. But one that is, I now realize, a permanent part of me. I love you all. With my heart and soul. :love:

PS
I have to mention that I cut my head off in the pictures. This is to avoid the look from that movie Being John Malcovich. If you've seen that movie, you know the scene I'm talking about: John's head, female body--that kind of thing. I have a life situation that limits my abilities to CD, so I can't rush into into makeup and wigs and other time-intensive "girlie" things. But for now...Hey, I'm a girl in a skirt suit! I have feminine POWER! :heehee:
