So since I have realized that my crossdressing has more to do with the fact that I am actually a woman than just the need to dress as one I have been looking for clothing and shoes that I can wear that doesn't make me look neither out of place, slutty and/or like I am dressing for a cocktail party (don't ask. LOL) I decided to swing by DSW to see what they have.

While browsing through the clearance aisle (fat chance, right) I came across their 11+ section. (I am a femme size 12). I am thinking to myself "Self, what are the chances of finding somet.... well what do we have here." Before me was a pair of not only the cutest Nine West knee length boots with a perfect round toe and 4 inch heel, but in a 12 nonetheless... Oh stop my beating heart!!!

And when the euphoria couldn't be contained any further I looked at the price tag only to find out that they are SEVENTY PERCENT OFF!!!! So these beauties aren't just perfect and in my size, instead of 80 bucks, they are under 30!!!

Well since I was in guy mode and the store being packed, I didn't want to cause a stir by trying them on. I rushed to the cashier, paid and came home. Lo and behold, they are more comfy than some of the flats I own.

Definately made my day. (and I apologize for no pics. I will try and post some tomorrow.)

That story made my day. First that those obviously gorgeous shoe were discounted, second that they fit? Oh that is so good.

And I did want to add this part?

This is when we begin to normalize as our true selves, and all that anxiety and angst and guilt, and terror, and regret, all that starts going away.

Thank you dearheart for a wonderful topic.

Didn't even realize while writing it that I had inserted subconsciously a deeper meaning than that of an economical, comfortable and aesthetically exciting footwear find, but yes, you hit the nail on the head.

The funny thing is about a year ago my s/o and I went out to a store to look for clothes and such that was supposed to be geared toward the trans community. The owner made a comment of my "look" at the time to my s/o that "don't worry, she is in her teenage years when she is experimenting trying to find her look."

I think that was quite fitting.

Still finding my "look" but after more heels, lingerie and sexy dresses than I can shake a stick at I am toning things down and finding clothing and shoes and makeup that is more not only age appropriate but also feminine without screaming I AM A GIRL!!!

Jaded?

Hi baby. That is toning things down (me laughing), I want to see what you would buy before, wow. Seriously, beautiful. Nothing is more feminine than heeled boots. I know because I have three pair. Oh no. I let that slip out, OMG.

I guess I do owe an explanation. MAAAAAAAAANY moons ago when I chose my first email address I wanted it to be somewhat androgynous and hence had Jade in the name. For a long time I thought that would be a good name to go by when en femme. I have since decided that to most it sounds like Jay and I want to avoid anything that could be "oh well when she was a he, he must have been..."

I know, sometimes I overthink things.

But my name (and hopefully soon the one I shall be legally known by as well) is Cadence.

As far as the boots. I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM!!!!

The trifecta has been hit! They fit perfect, they are comfortable and they were cheap! How can I ask for more!!! LOL

And as all us girls know "The sex is in the heel" (If you have not seen Kinky Boots yet, you have missed two hours of pleasure from your life!)

      There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar. The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing (when using the proper position of the hands on the keyboard; Hunting and pecking doesn't count!). A shark is the only known fish that can blink with both eyes.

      I haven't taken blockers since the surgery.

      Good morning   well its big bike week this week American/Canadian made. Followed almost immediately with metric bike week.  And let’s not forget the Myrtle Beach Classic golf tournament last week.  Our business has been very busy. So much so I need to leave earlier to make certain I get my work done before I have too many people in the tpstore and can’t get it done.   Hi ho silver and away   Willow

      I guess this was commonplace in females. But if your prostate gland is still in place this can contribute to urinal difficulties too.

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/15/peru-chooses-bigotry-medical-services     The Health Ministry tried to put the best face on this unscientific gibberish of a decree, but it won't diminish the harm it will do to the Pervian trans community.  They undoubtedly already suffer from severe discrimination and bigotry in a very macho-opriented society.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.
