2nd Post And Settling In :)

Well, made my first post last night, and got a lot of warm welcomes. As for many, I am slowly heading down a long road to being who I am. At 37 now and finally have a need to just release and be me. When i was younger it was great having a good group of friends and a girlfriend who let me wear her clothes. Most of the friends i had back then seemed to care little if i chose to wear a skirt of dress while out and it felt great. But, i was on a dark path and fell into drugs and eventually homelessness and so too my friends slowly drifted on. I don't blame them, i have to help myself before they could have had a chance to help me.

I just spent the last 10 years of life in a great new place, was accepted into a fine dinning establishment and began training to work as a baker/pastry chef. In that time i met many people who helped to change me and i am glad to have moved far from hiding behind a mask of drugs. The down side, i now have many friends who have no idea i love my fem clothes and i know they will have a very hard time finding understanding. I do have hope and i know that many of my new friends are willing to accept and learn new things as it is very normal to have to adapt to new people here where i live. World famous resort town and home to the winter olympics that just past.

If there is one thing i just can not do without, it is my shoe collection and once i get my new computer, i would love to do a Shoe(show) and tell and maybe see what gems everyone else has and be inspired and have to shop. :)

Starting in the CD forums as i do not deny i love my dresses, skirts and the ever so soft and comfy Lululemon tights. But, i always feel there is more to me than just my clothes. But soon enough i will have money and time to talk to a therapist and further explore the who I ams and see where or what life has in store for my future. Regardless, i am glad that many have welcomed me to the community and i think i am here to stay.

Later everyone

Hi meagan,

Welcome to the Laura's and the cross-dressing forum, which is where I tend to hang out more than other places as even though it says transgender on my tag, I feel closer to cd than other places on the spectrum.

I know what you mean about your clothes. I have favorites, too. And there is just something about slipping into the various outfits. Once I thought there was some kind of underlying sexuality in it, but now I realize that when I'm dressed, I'm just more comfortable, less tense, more at ease with myself and my surroundings. I've never been dressed for more than about 2 days at a time, but sometime I'd like to go for several days, and just live normally, waking, sleeping, doing chores, changing clothes when appropriate. That would be my next step.

Oh, well, it will come eventually, I hope. Anyway, I'm glad you've found us.

Hugs

Chloë

Well, one thing for sure, my clothes are not a trigger for any arousal. Not in a sense of sexual desire for pleasure anyway. Perhaps to use arousal in the idea of the senses. Like when a silky fabric slides smooth over my arm and has a soft cooling sensation. Strengthening my femininity and helping melt away any masculinity.

Since living where i am now, i am too fearful of being out in public dressed, just way to many transient people and tourists to really have a feel for who is around me. Many dangers lurk in the strange and unfamiliar people who pass by town daily. Such is the way of a resort town. After work tho, and at home and fresh from the shower. I always slip into something more me :) Right now as i type, my fav bra, black and lace floral. Casual tank and my fav pants i think are closest to being a sailor front pattern. OH! and cannot forget my new pair of slingbacks.

Afterwork is comparable to having a breath mint, cool and oh so refreshing hehe...

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
