Natasha Bedingfield’ Pocketful of Sunshine didn’t leave my car CD player for my first few years as Josie. I love the title song and “Freckles.” “A face without freckles is like a sky without the...

Hi, Candice.

I notice that you seem to have some “all or nothing” thinking going on. Is there a way you could start small as far as introducing crossdressing or Candice into your sex life? Is...

I actually started getting electrolysis for my face. I fugured I can get away with it since my face is usually covered up anyway now.

My favorite trans support group has changed meetings to...

At a retreat for gay/bi men, I dressed en femme for the Saturday night dinner and dance. When I walked through the door, a friend led the entire room in chanting ?You are beautiful!? three times. ...

Wow. Thanks for all the great replies, everyone. Lots of good stuff here. I plan to come back later and write out more detailed responses to everyone. This is definitely validating.

I do! In fact, I use the word bi-gender to describe myself because I embody both male and female. And I know my soulmate will love both my masculine and feminine energy. I could never choose...

Thanks, Kim. This gives me some perspective. Very encouraging.

Cindi, I love it. "When I am dressed, I am at peace" is now my new affirmation.

Jennifer, being yourself isn't letting anyone down. If someone has a problem with you, it's their problem, not yours. No matter how your son reacts, it's his reaction, not yours. And his reaction...

Audrey, I celebrate your courage. Have fun! Can't wait until I have some sisters to shop with too.

Tiffiany, it's awesome that you will have an accepting roommate and be able to dress whenever...

Ginger, thanks for sharing. How wonderful to read this. Positive coming out stories definitely give me hope. You should be proud of yourself for being brave enough to come out (regardless of the...

Hi, Dawn.

I agree. I would love to hear more about the joy and excitement of the whole experience. Use some figurative imagery. Engage the senses. What did it feel like, both physically and...

I just bought some of the new Alice in Wonderland nail polishes from OPI (love that movie!). I'm hoping to get a GG friend or two and have a nail painting party. I never use up a whole bottle of...

*hugs*

Yay! I'm glad you got to dress up and feel good. Isn't it wonderful? I so know that feeling. I haven't gotten to really be Josie or dress up for about a month and it's killing me.
...

Marina Twelve, thank you for the advice. I think you're on to something. After reading some of the other posts, your response makes me feel better about dressing up for Halloween. Which I TOTALLY...

Good luck, Windy! I hope he's a good guy. He'd better treat you well. How can he not fall in love with that smile?

OMG, Magickman! That's horrible! *gasps*

I left out part of my story. (And thank you for reading the whole thing!) The cashier that I had to pay when I bought the shoes AGAIN was the same one...

*hugs* My heart goes out to you. My thoughts are with you. I may be in a similar situation soon, trying to explain myself to my family.

I don't have any advice. Just take care of yourself. I...

Thanks for sharing, Pandora. *hugs* Coming out and being honest with yourself is a big step. I'm still going through that in a way.

I am taking my own baby steps, so I can relate.

Be...

As long as we're sharing lessons in humility...

I forgot to pick up some shoes the other night when I got brave and bought some bras at Walmart.

Josie is getting impatient with things.
...

LOL @Joy!

I haven't gotten to dress up completely yet, so I don't know. I kind of don't like the idea of looking like the women in my family. I want to look like me!

In her mind, Josie is...

I am loving my pajamas I bought last week at Lane Bryant. Just wishing the legs were a little longer. But the soft material. Mmmmmmmmm.

I can't wait until Friday! I am going somewhere...

Like JoAnn, I have a foot fetish too. I think it had a lot to do with my reaching the place I am at now. That and my ex-gf not being into it at all! She wouldn't wear high heels or strappy sandals...

The same year that I came out to myself as bi, I was asked to be in an FCA (Fellowship of Christian Anybodys) skit on the spur of the moment. (This was in college.) It was Valentine's Day, so they...

Thank you so much for starting this thread! It is very empowering to hear all this. Some of it I already know and believe, but needed to be reminded. My goal is to become so confident that other...
