Don't be so hard on yourself... Just dress and get out. This modern world seems to care less about us. I'm old, bald, wrinkly, too tall, big armed, wide shouldered, deep voiced.... You name it, but...
Ok I have a question...
Being 'tucked' for the greater proportion of each day, including exercising, bike riding, tight jeans, etc, I'm finding that I'm occasionally getting chaffing 'you know...
If you can't hear the comments, why worry about them... Some people just bitch about anyone and everyone.
Kirsty,
We have soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, special forces operators, divers, cops, MMA fighters, boxers, mountain bikers, patched bikies.... You name it, there are uber macho guys here...
I just bit the bullet and gave in.... Now 100% girl, but still dad to the kids and husband to the wonderful SO..
I have three sons, the youngest 11. Whilst it is a little confusing for them, my kids are coping well. There are a few things to consider. Firstly making sure their friends (and Thiet families) are...
Hi all,
As I've had so much spare time and I'm now 100% full time, I've had the opportunity to conduct a few simple social experiments around passing - what helps, what doesn't and mistakes for...
I so want to throw the wigs away, but there's no way.... I'm trying but it'll be years before I'll even know if I can encourage growth on the barren desert that my scalp is..
I can only agree, most people either don't notice or don't care... Apart from work, I've not heard a bad word from anyone. Even when there's absolutely no doubt, I've only had the most professional...
So I'm enjoying the full time life, living the dream as it were...
Today, in our local supermarket with the wife I walked past a police friend of mine a few times. He knows about me but has never...
I find 'passing' really important. I want, I desire, I need to interact with the world as a woman and not some bloke in a dress. Whilst I can understand that there are those who don't see it as so...
So the last month has not been the most pleasurable... Serious doubt about my financial future, but I have taken the opportunity to go full time, and it's been three weeks now. So what have I learnt...
I'm certainly in agreement with the majority view, people either don't look, don't register or don't care... But, I'm just on 6" in bare feet and, although I have lost a mass or weight, still have...
Often wondered if I'm surrounded by an optically challenged public... I walk the shops and malls without warranting a second glance... I have put this down to general politeness, until...
Had my...
I know how you feel, I had to buy oil, filters and ancillary bits to service the bike and actually changed back into my poor facsimile of a boy just to go buy them... So much easier when they think...
These are mine and they are too long... (And French tipped as well). But seriously anything passed the end of your fingers will be noticed. May not be commented on but will be noticed.
It's quite surprising how things change once you get that confidence... In July last year I posted how, after 12 days staying in a hotel with only boy clothes, I was to scared to shop. I had...
Yep mine just grew... But because I knew they were going to do that, I started to take HRT well before so I'd have an excuse...:doh:
OK, I'm being cheeky again :-)
Katey,
You voiced just about every concern I have... I basically know how to do me!!! I would not like to think what would happen if I made a mess of it on the big day...
I might point her in...
Went to my local shopping centre today, wanted pink laces for my new sneakers.... However, visited my favourite dress shop. The owner knows both boy and girl me, gives me great deals and even when...
I'm friends with two girls here, one transitioned and had SRS at 70, the other 72...
If you really want to do it, you'll find a way... Aliwigs for hair, YouTube for makeup tutorials... Now get out there and we want pics...
Hi Katey,
I often wonder if all those years I spend in drab were just me subconsciously trying to make it go away. I did put a dress on in 2001 for a fancy dress party but don't recall the strong...
I can't add much to Isha's story above, sharing so much. I at first could not, would not accept who I really was. I hid in a military or law enforcement environment successfully hiding, suppressing,...
