Finally Back

[Guest sandra6sandy9sand]

Hi All, I have not had a chance to post anything for quite some time. In January I had a cornia transplant and could not see well for a while. I'm much better now and can see better with one eye than I could with two before the surgury.

I have been able to read for the last couple of months and have been keeping up with everything that has been going on at Lauras.

I have had time to reflect on my cross dressing during the past few months. I accept my male side but prefer my female side. I don't plan on having surgury and I know that I am not gay. It is so wonderful to be able to express myself here.

My wife accepts who I am, although we have not discussed my cross dressing. I am generally conservitive when I dress i.e. panties, womans shirts, shorts and pants when we are together. When I have the chance when I am alone, I have skirts, dresses, tops, bras etc. that I ware. For fathers day my wife bought me a new purse. It's a Healthy Back Bag. What a surprise.

I feel wonderful and free to be able to discuss my feelings and read about the wonderful girls at Lauras.

Hugs

Sandra

I'm glad you were able to get your vision corrected. That is huge. It is also great to hear you are finding peace with your gender issues as well as some acceptance from your wife. Simply being able to express yourself is often all that is necessary and accepting that can be difficult for many. We are told that any feelings of expression outside of given gender roles is wrong. Finding a happy medium is a great step forward.

Thanks for posting and contributing here.

Hugs,

Charlize

Welcome Back, I did not know you previously

I am very happy that your cornea transplant went well, better to see yourself in the mirror.

Not all Trans* people opt for surgery, and it does not make you any less welcome here.

I am also happy that your wife is somewhat accepting of your CD, as she bought you a purse.

LP has been a Godsend for many members to discuss their feelings with like minded, accepting, supportive people, in a SAFE environment

Another Website that may be helpful to BOTH you, and your wife is:

TrEss

Under the General Tab, there is information of interest to Wives of Cross Dressers.

Please keep us posted about your progress

Hugs,

Carla

Hi Sandra,

I had a similar realization lately. I enjoy crossdressing and prefer that mode when I don't have to interface with the world. I use "the other guy" for that. I think of him like my on "Hulk," just a change to deal with the world. But I'm also pretty sure I don't want to take hormones or get surgeries or anything like that. And I adore women, I can't really imagine sex with a man (especially at my age!). I've tried, in the spirit of being open minded, and no, I just can't get there

I'm happy to hear your health issues are resolving. I'd be bereft if I couldn't read

I'm glad you're here

Hugs,

Courtney

Hi Ladies,

Thank you so much or your kind words. I get new glasses tomorrow which should be an improvement over what I have. Maybe I'll be able to put my mascara on with out making a mess of my eye lashes.

Love Sandra
