I have a question for you ladies. How does your GG make you feel accepted and loved? I try to do little things...for example my SO's birthday is this week so I painted my nails the colors of the TG flag. I am just wondering what let's you know you are accepted and loved?
Thanks for the advice.

One of the sweetest things that my wife ever did was to put a present for "Kim" under the Christmas tree. That was a long time ago and I can't even recall what it was, but I still remember the joy of knowing that it existed, and that my wife cared enough about me to buy it and put it there.

I think like Kim,
If my wife actually put the effort into get a present for Raychel
anything, I would be ecstatic. It would not really matter what it was.
I would be overjoyed. Just the simple fact that she accepts enough and
gave thought to get something, That would do it.
my sister's reply when I told her how I prefer to dress
"Everyone has there thing, all that matters is that you are happy, love what you do and who you do it with"
She just kisses me and tells me as we hug...enough said.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
My wife has purchased a few things for me, and gone shopping with me. I think the biggest thing she does to show her love and support however is that when I come out of the bedroom and I'm dressed she doesn't say anything at all, it's like just a normal thing.

My wife does that for me, too, Kimmy. She's done if for many years now.Originally Posted by TxKimberly
For me, it's the little things. E will see something at Kohl's and get it for me or if she's going to get makeup, she'll ask me if I need anything. She's also a good feedback system with regard to what looks good (clothing, hair, etc.) or not. And we go to our local TG support group as a couple.
She Loves me for me, I can ask for no more. Although she gives even more. I'm truely Blessed
The little presents that mean she's thinking of me are wonderful. I recently got home to find a gift card to our favorite jewelry store on my pillow and for Valentine's day I got lip liner and perfume. I smiled for days.
Even better though, is just being able to talk about my experiences with her and work constructively towards a better relationship. And when she goes out with me... bliss.

At Christmas and my birthday, Stephanie usually gets a present too: a skirt, dress, jewelry, etc.

My wife went to Lane Bryant recently and brought home a pair of panties for me, and said, "I thought these would look cute on you." A little thing, but it meant the world to me.
My SO/partner totally accepts and encourages. Its everyday life for us so no biggie.
Hi GG 7irsh, Do not paint your toe nails , do hers. The color she likes. My GG loves when I bring her ear rings,neckless, rings . They don't have to be diamonds, but tasteful trinkets. Plus you get to wear them too. Go shopping with her, this way u get cloths too. Jo
I agree with josrphine... Paint hers!
Even though I always buy little gifts for my SO, there is nothing like the moments we share with my SO's legs on my lap while I paint her nails. I find the little things like that mean more to my sweetheart than the actual gifts.
I think the intent of the OP was to ask the members of the forum what their SOs have done to show acceptance, not to judge other GGs or suggest that they aren't as accepting as they think they are. Painting your spouse's nails might be significant in one relationship, but a tangible gift might be just as significant for someone else, and a GG displaying a TG symbol (rainbow nails) might be more meaningful to the spouse than a gift or a pedicure.

My apologies, Mimi. That wasn't what I was trying to suggest. I guess I should have paid more attention as I re-read what I was posting to make sure it wouldn't have been taken that way. It was purely me trying to say that in the case of my SO I know it is more appreciated than gift, certainly not trying to discount or judge others.
Again my apologies,

Hi GG7, My wife tolerates my dressing and that's good enough for me.
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !
If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.
Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!
Lots of good suggestions here. Feminine gifts and pampering are always appreciated as well as gestures of acceptance like the rainbow nails.
Mimi's greatest gift to me has been her enthusiasm in helping me explore my feminine side. She's always suggesting things that we can do to get Eryn out and about.

Everyday things...but nice things, like genuinely affectionate hugs and kisses when I'm en femme. Most important was her comment that she could see th joy that this brings out in me.
My wife is a real encouragement to me and my dressing, not only does she buy Christmas and Birthday equally between male and female gifts, she also encourages me to buy the things that delight me all year around.
But the day I felt most loved, as Tina, was the day I stayed home from work, and she knew I'd be dressed, she sent me flowers
With a sweet note, I was on cloud 9 for days, dried the flowers and framed them, still have them some 15 years later.
It was the first tile I really realized how important flowers can be, I've sent her many bouquets since then, as pay back.

She is my best friend and her acceptance of Ellen Jo is enough for me. I can't express how much I love this woman.
Somtimes the light's all shining on me, Other times I can barely see.
Lately it's occured to me.....What a long strange trip it has been.

My supportive wife is always doing little things. Just last week she was out shopping with a friend and called me just to say she had picked up something Misty will just love, and she can't wait to give it to her. BTW: It's really great to have CD as a part of our life, and not the center of it.
Many ways but she said to me once that "I don't really get all of this (being trans*) but I do get you!"

My wife is my best friend.
She is always there for me and I make damn sure I am always there for her.
We go around the world touring and we have a damn good time meeting others and exploring things.
At the end of the day....
We are there for each other.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Irish, my wife simply treats me normally. I am no less loved in pants or a dress. Now, on a rare occasion, she will buy me something for Jennifer and that is just an overt sign that she's ok with the cross dressing part of me. I don't need more than that.
