I thought for sure it would be awhile before I got to go out again. Turns out it happened again today! This time it was more than just a ride. My wife ran and got some food today for lunch and then stopped by the house and picked my daughter and I up. I was fully dressed in a fairly casual outfit. Jeans, designed light blue patterned top with a dark brown cami underneath and flats. I was wearing some fashion jewelry at first, but took it off before we got to the park because I thought it was too much. It was fantastic! I hardly ate a bite I was so ecstatic. While we were there sitting at a picnic bench eating our neighbor that lives diagonally across the street from us showed up with his kid. The good thing is we don't really talk with them or even see them that much, but we have seen each other a dozen or so times with me in guy mode. He walked by about 20 feet away and kept on his way. Phew!

My wife was cool with it although at one point she opened up about being nervous about how far I wanted to take everything. We sat and talked for awhile about me dressing and if there would be any transitioning. I said I did wish I could take hormones at some point for breasts, skin, and everything although it's highly likely I wouldn't be able to ever do that with my job and full family. However, she doesn't want me to do that either even later in life. We talked a lot. I feel like the real me when I am dressed. I also have a huge concern personally that if I go out in public that I must pass. Maybe I don't need to take hormones if I can have the satisfaction of passing and blending in as a woman? I don't know. I know I would like it, but she needs me to compromise with no hormones if I want to stay with her and the kids. On the plus side she is open for me getting electrolysis, getting my ears done, understands I want to work on my voice, possible nose job (reduce size) at some point maybe, and she said I could get another wig that draws less attention. I'm a little bit of a redhead now. She gave me a few tips while we were there too... sit up straight, chest up and out. What an amazing week it has been!

Hi Sienna,

Very nice on being out with wife dressed again, you are on a roll ! I was chuckling about the part with your neighbor passing by, lots of what if's come to mind if he had seen your wife and decided to socialize. I have been seen by my neighbors in various female things at times, as I am not doing a very good job of hiding my girl at times. I have reached a point in life where I just think I should not worry about what other people perceive or might think realizing this approach can be risky, but hey it's about being ourselves and if this is what we like to do, so be it. Interesting reading your comments about transitioning or not to. We all must make our own individual decisions and in the case of having a family this may involve some give and take. I also have a wife (26 years) and 2 older daughters that live at home. I see it as a fine line to walk when deciding between what is good for "me" vs what benefits the "greater good". Sounds like your confidence is growing being out Sienna, enjoy !

Hugs -

Cindy

Interesting time for you, Sienna. As far as passing goes, I wouldn't be overly concerned with it. Most people don't read me. A few do but that's okay. I just keep on going.

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow
