At times still in disbelief

[DianeT]

Not really a POW moment, more little PFIZZZ moments where I look at my body clad in female attire and there's a fleeting feeling of disbelief, that this can't be me I'm looking at, a disconnect between my male inner self and female outer shell that is dizzying, even intoxicating. I'm craving for this feeling, it's one of my drivers for dressing.
Also, the first time I put on a wig, I went to the bathroom and failed to turn on the light switch for a second. At this moment, in the backlight from the corridor's light, I saw a dark, tall female figure in the mirror of the bathroom, a silhouette with a very unusual hair and body shape. For a second I did not connect that figure to myself, it felt like a stranger had entered the small room, with an actual, a strong human presence just in front of me. Like I just met my doppelganger. A kind of out of body experiment. Very unsettling, although not in a dark way.

I'm thinking that if your wife is referring to you as "princess", you're probably not getting laid tonight!

I don't sleep "en femme". I've tried it at times when my wife was out of town, but it just didn't work well and I didn't get much sleep. It's hard to imagine being female with that junk between my legs.

Although my wife has seen me dressed many times, I have never gotten dressed (as a woman) in front of her. And I try not to get undressed in front of her either.

To the best of my recollection I've only had one POW moment and it happened very recently.

My phone regularly sends me "Remember the Day Spotlight" pictures. These photos are usually from long-forgotten archived albums. They are typically pics of family, friends, scenery, etc. A few weeks ago I received one of these notifications and clicked on it. I was stunned to see a photo of an ex-girlfriend wearing a little black dress with sheer black pantyhose and her hair tied back in a sleek ponytail. This was her normal 'weekend look'.

After a second I quickly realized that it wasn't my GF... it was me. I literally thought I was her. It was a very surreal moment and it's now one of my favorite pictures

Maria you just described a dream for me your wife is amazing. My POW moment was sitting in a pool area on vacation recently when I noticed my smooth legs looked very out of place with the other males but very much like the girls.

Hi Maria, Only a few times have I had that "Pow" moment. Every so often I seem to get everything right, makeup, hair, nails, clothing, shoes, and look into the mirror; and POW! It isn't me, but it is me! "Pow!" Thanks for bringing back those moments.

Girl for me it was when I was getting a manicure in fem mode having a conversation with the girl next to me and it hit me that I was one of those girls. WOW 😲

The pow moment is so, so beautiful. I've been getting it every time i see myself in a mirror since i came out as nonbinary/genderqueer and platinumed my hair and started wearing makeup every day.

Thank the Goddess for partners like Maria's and mine, and a prayer that those who don't can see the light!
