Ok, so I may get slightly off topic here but I promise its all with the intent on explaining an answer to your question Kim! (especially since I'm new/coming back after years away). But I fall into the category of a girl who is still also in love with their male side, but also with their female side. I consider myself extremely lucky to have come to what I feel is a solid conclusion on how my enfemme side fits into my overall life and have accepted the role Kaite plays. A huge help for me in that process was last year after graduating from graduate school, I became involved with a transgendered woman who really did a lot to open my male side up to my female side. So along those lines, I'm not necessarily looking to make permenant changes, but still have done some additional things for those times when I like to bring Kaite out. Its a nice escape from the pressures of the male life and a good feeling to be feminine. So after being long winded (is there anyone still reading?? lol), when dressing (just as recently as this weekend :) ) I now shape my eyebrows and shave my legs (I am a diabetic with a stent for the pump in my leg, so I use that excuse for why they are shaved) to improve my cd "life". It feels so much better and "cuter" to have legs shaved with stockings and a skirt :) So does that count as an impovement? :P Thanks for reading the novel all and I hope to discuss more topics with you all! All of you on this site are incredibly strong girls, and I look up to you all!
Way to much to list !! But its alot ,
Well Kim, I have gone from wanting to dress up and only doing it periodically to actually dressing up and becoming a girl. A lot of this is because I'm a student and have moved out of my parents home, so I have more freedom to buy outfits and dress up
I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and invite others to add their own ideas! Anything from making physical changes, changes in attitude, or major life changing events that have positive consequenses....remember - there are no wrong answers.
Weight loss. Trying to reach a good weight and then lose an additional 10 pounds. I'm not tall and having a slimmer figure will definitely go a long ways towards improving my look.
Well the only thing I found to improve my life as a CD is to wait. This is not exactly my preferred approach to a happy CDing life, but with some patience I will finally get out of my parents house or find some alternate way to dress and then it will be time for a full makeover!
Going shopping for clothes and not caring what others around me think.
Also coming out to a friend.
Starting to pluck/shape my eyebrows (very small changes).
Shaved my legs, chest, arm pits.
Bought nail polish and lip stick for the first time.
Considering telling my parents about my dressing over the next 2 weeks.
(I feel as if I'm becoming a busy girl)
Really, I've mostly been working on the interior. I can wear the clothes often enough (but I'm not out of the closet). And my nails are a little long and shaped even in drab. But I've decided that what matters to me is that I am centered inside my head. Kind of difficult to describe but I'm thinking that while I can't overtly crossdress all the time, I can "cross-think" inside my head all the time. It's kind of freeing in fact, even though I do still like the me I see in the mirror even when dressed comfortably as a middle-aged woman when I have the opportunity.
