Oh sisters,
It has been a big weekend for me...I went to First Event in Boston and had my first day out. It went great. Everyone was so supportive...I couldn't have asked for a better place to make my debut.
I got my first wig, and I got my first forms...talk about your pink fog, it's amazing I don't also own my first corset too...I'm wearing the wig and forms now, and it just feels so right...
Oh sisters, I want to be woman more than I've wanted anything in my sorry repressed masculine life...
There was a workshop at the conference about feminizing the voice, and after a while the presenter asked her star pupil to come up and talk, and the star pupil took my breath away. My height, my build, a couple of years post-op, and I can only guess that she had had FFS too, and she was totally and completely gorgeous. The only things even vaguely still mannish about her were her hips and her hands, and they just came off as sexy and strong, not manlike. And her voice was perfect, 100% woman. The voice part was bothering me...how can you pass if you don't sound right? But this was no falsetto squeak or Marilyn Monroe imitation...this was a woman's voice, totally and completely. Varied, rich, solid. The real deal.
Body, hormones, face, voice...all can be changed. And I want it. I want it with all my being.
I don't really have anything to ask here...I know to take it way slow. I'm going for counseling next week with a counselor who has experience talking with TG folks and who seems open minded but without an agenda. I am going to try to meet up with a sisters' group I learned about in Boston and start practicing going out. I know this can and should be a long slow process...I guess I just want to say, in a place where I know the people I'm talking to will know what I'm saying, I really really want to go all the way. I want to make the change. I'm willing to wait, and I know I need to be careful with kids and work and the world...but I want. I want.
OK, patience. A long road ahead.
Thanks for listening. I am so glad I found this forum.
