Looking At Adds In The Paper

[Guest sarah f]

I find myself looking at the adds in the paper and only looking at the womens section. I am still not even out yet and have to present myself as male everywhere. Does anyone else do this and what does that say about the male side of me? I have a long way to go and don't even want to think about buying anymore male clothes. I stress myself out just thinking about having to shop in the mens section anymore. Maybe it is just me but hope it isn't.

Love,

I read the women's section, too and all of the ladies magazines at the Laundromat...

I won't really say that the HRT has changed my tastes, just that now I can let my real tastes guide me to what I enjoy

I haven't bought any male things for months and I'm near the point where I'd need anything like that anyway....maybe a parka, but I saw a cute one with fur around the face...

We do what our heart drives to do....

No Sarah - your alone, they are just being nice to you!

Seriously, Sweetheart, that is totally normal and not too long ago I ripped one pair of "the last men's slacks" I was ever going to buy and I had to go buy two more pairs - at those prices I could have bought about three really cute outfits - DANG!

Our time is coming, just be patient.

Love ya,

Sally

Yes, Sarah, I've almost completely stopped looking at the male stuff. Only go there on the rare occasion I

need to buy a dress shirt or something. I've always loved looking at women's fashions, and now that

I can actually buy them and wear them - OH MY!

What's really great is when a catalog comes and me and my wife will look at it together and share thoughts

on what would look good on her, or me, or both of us! What fun!

Don't feel bad about this, I had always secretly looked at the girls and women's sections in the sale adds from 11 or 12 up. I think it is very normal for us to look at those adds because we are girls just wanting to be and look like the girls on those pages.

Take Care

No Sarah you are not alone. :-) I look at the women's section in various department stores online almost every day checking for sales. In my therapists office while waiting to be seen I only look through the women's magazines now. I'm constantly looking at different hair styles women are wearing, "hmmm maybe I can have my hair styled like that, or maybe like that one, oh that one is pretty". Lol.
