It started with the feel, 100%, and has evolved in such a way that it's about 95% the look, as long as I have enough time for nails and mascara to finish the transformation. The silkier the material...

At about 12 or 13 I was sleeping in the guest bedroom where some older visiting relatives occasionally stayed, the room also served as a sort of secondary closet for my mom's items.

For whatever...

Jenna, if heel height is your biggest issue, you're way ahead of the curve, go for it!

Glenda, so sorry to read of your loss, can't imagine what you went through and glad you are able to share your feelings with us.

As to the question, a definite "YES" on the stress relief, at times...

Jessica, thanks for the clarification of the OP. For me it was not as much of an issue, we believe that two of our four children were conceived while I was CDing, both were girls, not that I believe...

Traci,

Such optimism is what keeps us going, good luck! There are many ups and downs, other than the very rare few it is probably much longer downs than the few seconds of ups but those ups can...

I try for at least once per month but have to work around schedules at home. For me, it's 100% or not at all, so working out the details is what often limits my activity.

Jodiee, great thread but really just go for it, you'll only regret not having done it earlier!

My first time out of the front door was at about 18 though I had been dressing almost every single...

Samantha, in line with another thread I'm leaning towards reincarnation, it's is probably the simplest answer, and Occam's razor didn't get to be a thing just because it sounded cool. I utterly...

Danielle, you are among the very lucky to have your wife supporting you on this, make sure you show her how much it means to you!

As to your concerns, the level of attention, good or bad, will be...

Beth, you'll know it when it hits you! And after a really good experience you will have a hard time controlling it, at least I do.

Congrats Jodie! I often use Amazon shipping to a pick up location or JCP and pick up at the store, avoids getting "caught" when the package gets there before you can pick it up! I do often pick up...

I asked for a card with just my first initial and it's working for me, might work for many of us.

Nancy, so awesome! I believe you and your journey is the best way forward for all of us, from the once a decade CD to the full transition TG. Just going about your life with a smile and a polite...

Sabine, since my opportunities are limited, when they do pop up I try to take "advantage" of them, knowing that long before I get close to finishing the transition I will be fully in the fog!

A...

Heather, just jump in, the water is fine! I spend way too long, almost 50 years, waiting for "just the right time" but when I finally got going "out the door", there has been little stopping me and...

Jacques, your method of communicating on when it's OK to dress is awesome! So many of us only dream of our wife asking for it, I know I've been trying my best to find a similar system though it will...

Janet, YES! Back when the hair was high and the skirts were short! At the ZZ Top concert last week they played some awesome oldies, with the video playing in the background, Sharp Dressed Man, She's...

An interesting question and for most of my life that was a huge "Yes" as it was probably the only time I'd have a good excuse for wearing what I'd like to wear. Now that I've been out doing whatever...

I'm living my fantasy right now, have been out doing everything as Jamie, shopping, driving and now stopped at McDonald's, because I could!

At most I got two second looks but otherwise no one...

Angela, thanks for sharing your thoughts and outlook, without looking to dredge up an old discussion I think you just came up with the best insight on the differences between the various parts of our...

Michelle, you are certainly among the luckiest of us! You're living the dream and I completely agree with Boscov's, on my last trip they had a great selection of hosiery and dresses in my sizes, and...

Jennifer, Amazon has been every CD's best friend, the last wig I bought was only $20 and looks fabulous! Watch some Youtube, so many tutorials. I'll be going out tomorrow, "less is more" is key,...

Whynotme, So well done! I do have to tell you that this activity can be absolutely overwhelming and addictive! I can clearly remember the first time stepping out the front door, walking to the car,...

Marion, congrats on retirement! I only lasted 55 days from the day I retired to finding something new to do, please keep us updated on your adventures!
