Ok I Am Confused


Guest Ree

Recommended Posts

Hey lovely people :)

I went last night to the dollar store and walked around it looking for a few things for supper, *mine has food also*.

Anyhow I ended up buying about 12 dollars of makeup *along with the food*. No clue what they do or are, But I thought I'd start to try to learn this stuff.

Well everything was fine until my wife found the receipt. She was really upset. I thought great she is angry that I used some of our limited funds for my *thing* or *issue*.

SURPRISE!

Nope she said that SHE wanted to come with me to buy my makeup *HUH?* but but I didn't think you wanted anything to do with me?

She said that she won't have me looking like a clown, if I want to do dressup, I need to have the right equipment. uh....ok?

So she said the colors I picked out won't work for me but she will see what she can do. So.... not sure where this will leave us... but it should be better. right?

Love

Ree,

Sometimes the people close to us can really surprise us in a good way. My wife is the same. She has been training me how to buy and apply the right kinds of make-up. We don't have the years of experience and training our wives do in this area and they are a wonderful resource. If they want to be involved, how much better does it get for us? :D

luv

LOL...Honey...that's EXACTLY what my wife said to me...

I came into the house and she had a card table set up in the living room with her/my stuff on it...

Two mirrors facing each other...

We went through it all step by step...I learned a TON!

Good on you, Sweetheart!

That may be the start of a great new bonding. When someone shows you how to do makeup it is a very personal thing.

And it feels like a positive shift in the relationship. If she is beginning to help you be yourself it will be something shared between and her the real woman you are. Even if she may not realize it yet.

And it WILL be a help. Teenage (and preteen) girls experiment with makeup for years before they get it right. And getting it right makes all the difference.

Good luck and my wishes that it all goes beautifully!

Love

JJ

Help from a GG with makeup is invaluable - that's how I learned to do it right.

Congratulations - her help will make a world of difference for you.

      Thanks Davie! And don’t worry, I didn’t take it that way. It’s just such a big topic I can only hope to tackle it one bit at a time.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.
