    Making a decision

    I am making a decision,I am thinking of dressing fulltime.I did have a talk with my wife Nikki about this last night and she is very supportive of me if I make this decision.My adoptive and bilogical mom are too knowing this is me.I did have a talk with my boss too and luckily she has an anti discrimination policy and I still have my job.I feel more comfortable as my en femme side and my support sees this.I am going to make it sometime today with no regrets.

    Sounds to me like you've already made it... supportive wife, supportive aunts (Jess and Maureen), supportive moms and step-dad, a boss with an anti-discrimination policy (and where, according to an earlier post of yours you are already going to work dressed three times a week and your co-workers and customers love you). I don't think I could have written a more plausible reason to transition myself. Best wishes. I hope you live happily ever after.

    Hi Gretchen!

    Congratulations! It is so Wonderful that you are able to go Full Time in the Feminine Mode. So many of us men would love to be able to do that. Also, Great job in Encouraging your cousin to get in touch with his feminine side as well. It will be interesting to see if your stepson follows in your footsteps....for men and boys to be able to enjoy the thrills of skirts and dresses and femininity in general is a fantastic thing!

    Best of Luck to you all!

    Patti

    making a decision

    Way to go Gretchen, I wish that my life could be that easy. I do not want to minimize your decision it just seems that all good things have fallen in to place for you and I am totally envious.

    So do we get an update?

    Is it a lot more work each day to dress en femme?
    I know a girl has to do more of a decision process than the sniff test to decide what to wear.
    It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
