Generally, 5-6 nights/week for 3 hours of so - after my wife and I read together until she is sleepy - then I get up, convert to Joni, and continue various chores. I wear a slip to bed, and often...

I would return to first principles before therapy (which could go any direction): education. Perhaps share suitable literature in a non-threatening way on the topic designed to be a helpful...

Interesting coincidence. I too was punished, though my my mother, made to wear a dress-like outfit to a neighbor's birthday party, about age 5. Also wore lingerie lying around from that age. ...

But what would I do with all the clip-ons I have accumulated over the years? Maybe donate to a consignment shop or something, I suppose. OK, no excuse now. Maybe.

I was thinking Tamara Taylor, Morena Baccarin, Emily Blunt, or Jennifer Connelly. Modern beauty.

I remember fantasizing about the magic wand long before I knew transitioning was an actual medical possibility. Still, there is wood to be chopped. Easier so far to go back and forth. Joni

It can be a slippery slope. Seems I started wearing slips. Age about 4. Joni

By age 4 or 5 I was wearing my mother's slips, girdle and stockings somehow holding them up I imagine. By age 7 or 8 there was an incident where at swimming practice I evidently swam "like a girl",...

Sometimes its a toss up - split wood or be Joni. Most all other activities can be accomplished en femme. Joni

It was certainly early for me, my mother's slips and girdles with stockings attached too easy to slide into while she talked on the phone. Early 60s slips. Lacy and silky. I also recall a time...

I used to perceive a duality that was a source of anxiety, but less these days as afterall there is only one me who dresses according to occasion. Joni

You learn a bit each time. I recall going out as a teen back in the early 70s, again in the 80s and 90s (sometimes with a mustache - another lesson learned). Much easier these days it seems after...

I had a fun foray this week, dressed for about 3 days straight while spouse attended to family business away and had a fun trip to Kohl's, a bar for a glass of wine, then groceries. Felt so natural....

I've had many such occasions. Risking same right now. Current practice is my wife knows and tolerates the time it takes me to change; but daughter is visiting so greater discretion is called for. ...

Jennifer - I understand your point about the nuances of womanhood that are mot possible to replicate...but you don't pass? That surprises me. If you don't pass then, oh goodness....all this time I...

Jennifer,
Lovely sheath dress, and as always a great smile. I would have to add a cardigan during winter months. Curious how you met your new acquaintance and picked your location. Joni

I went en femme by myself; sigh, my wife looked the other way as I left - as was our agreement. I was early and walked around the block and got a drink at a new bar nearby the theater. Was fine...

I just finished 30-year period of travel with opportunities to explore dressing in public. It is hard to clamor into a field vehicle wearing heels. A few times I lost my nerve and fasted; but...

I liken it to the endorphine rush of cutting. A good tuck, afterall, appear rather surgical. Is this getting too close to the bone? Joni

I dress nights after my wife goes to sleep - chores and whatnot; when traveling for work would go out to eat or shopping dressed in evening. Did get the nerve to ask my wife to borrow her coat to go...

3 to 4; she has borrowed clothes and given me a few things. I have a special dresser in bathroom and dress nightly - after hours. But she shrieks if she sees Joni. Mixed signals seem to be the...

Nevertheless, it could be a roller coaster for a while - years. You may need to prepare yourself that that sort of time scale. Patience, tolerance, and love seems to be a rewarding combination even...

I find it a curious phenomenon that many of us have the same experience: finding reflection in mirror to be affirming while a plausibly more objective photographic image not so flattering. Its...

I have tried both gay and straightish bars. Always alone, so without any honest feedback, I always think I pass - for about a minute. Then the bartender gives that involuntary smirk. That's about...

I usually like what I see in the mirror and how I feel. I spend a lot of time as Joni. However, photos are less flattering. Those darn secondary sex characteristics in facial structure. I was...
