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:

Dana

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:

Hi Dana...Glad you had such a good response to your experience so far. Keep exploring this side of yourself; I think you'll find more you like. I'm sorry you don't get much chance to truly experience your feminine side but do what you can and enjoy yourself while you're doing it.

Hi Dana, you're spot on, I can only endorse your thoughts about this place and the freedom it offers to us. Long may it continue. Personally I just love the fact that I'm (Amanda) now a real person who talks to people, seeks advice and comfort and isn't just a figment of my other halfs imagination!

I used to be a schizophrenic but I'm alright now!........and so am I!

Dana,

What a moving emotional post. You go girl.. That first step was a big one...the rest are just small steps to a whole new world. You are among friends and supporters.

You go girl...This is "the place" to be...I've been member of numerous sites that say they are for our support, but eventually turn in to a pick up place...

I must admit the girls here are great and will support you when needed, provide information when ask and will give honest answers...

Keep the faith and welcome...:hugs:

It's wonderful that you are here. I'm always please to see new members posting here to share with us, their joys, fears, triumphs, problems, setbacks, heartaches. I feel that as members here, we are part of a family. The longer you are here, I think you will come to feel that way.
Love is the most powerful force of all; the more we love each other for who are and not who we aren't, the more powerful we become.:love:
