As today is two years since I joined the forum, and by coincidence my 2000th post i thought I start a thread about a subject that interests me.
Like many on here I have been dressing for a long time, over 39 years. I have reached a stage where I am fairly happy with the look I can achieve, and think with the face my genes have given me and my make up skills, however good, bad or indifferent as they are, I have got it about as good as I ever will. But, I look in a mirror and think, what if my chin was smaller, what if my eye bags were gone, what if my skin was smoother. The only way that is going to happen is by surgery of some kind, and that really isn't a realistic option right now, though I haven't ruled it out. (never say never.....) What I would like to ask is if other long time dressers would ever consider, or have had some kind of FFS, or even the taking of hormones to achieve a more femme look. How would it impact on your day to day life if you have to spend a fair part of it in drab, would it be worth the cost, and would your other half be on board with it.
This question is not aimed at those looking at transitioning, though I welcome all opinions.
Diane.
