Hello all ?

Hi everyone ? As a child if left alone the first thing I would do is try on my moms clothes.  It made me feel special in a way I didn’t really understand. Once a teenager I got too scared to do it much. But once in a while I did. It always made me feel amazing! Then I got a girlfriend and kind of quit. And I’ve been through a few more girlfriends since but the last few years I’ve been too busy with work to date much.  About a year  ago I was scrolling TikTok and happened upon a beautiful trans gender woman just talking about trans gender equality. And memories came flooding back of how good it made me feel to dress up as a woman. Since then I have been shopping for women’s clothes and shaving my legs etc. i have worn women’s clothes again too. it makes me feel amazing! I’ve always had mostly female friends and I don’t like the kinds of activities that most guys like.  I had no idea most of my life that I had all these feelings. I’m Obviously still researching and will keep doing so but I searched looking for a place to learn and become more comfortable with myself and I found this forum.  I feel more feminine than ever and I’m excited to learn more about myself as I allow myself to be more free! Thanks in advance for any help or advice! 

Alexa ❤️

Thank you all for the welcome! And I definitely will share all I can. I just bought my first nail polish and foundation make up I figured I might as well go a little bit at the time because I have no idea what I’m doing lol

Hi Alexa. It's nice to meet you. There are some great people here. They've really helped me realize I am just a normal person, who is in the wrong body and that's OK.

 

Makeup and nail polish, a couple on my favorite things. I don't think I've gone a day in the last 3-4 years without nail polish. Definitely won't leave the house with makeup. I try to tell myself I do it the for the practice but the truth is I just like wearing it.

Hi @Alexaa!  nice to meet you, and Welcome!

I too share many of the same feelings from childhood and teens years and then burying all of that for 40+ years if living a life that I never felt comfortable in.
As you have already discovered (as I did) you have found a wonderful community here to learn, grow, and share.  Its a new beginning for many of us (like you and me) and there are many here who can pass along their experiences.

      WOW! Did she give a reason at least? It's not like it takes up that much space.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yeah, it would be awesome to have something new, and it would fit the space pretty well.  We have kitchen counters big enough to process whole deer, goats, large amounts of vegetables, etc.   Unfortunately for me, I couldn't even convince our "den queen" to let me have counter space in our downstairs kitchenette for a Keurig.  🙄

      I think the biggest mental block to acceptance is the language that keeps us othered and on the fringes, rather than woven deeply into society. But I also think that's changing fairly rapidly. My youngest is well into their young adult genre novels phase and I'm impressed (and kind of amazed) at how many of their mainstream traditionally published novels have LGBTQ+ themes woven in. That child is 12, and I suspect that as the kids who are in middle school along with them grow up, they're just going to expect and demand better than we've done as their parents. They've seen it in the fiction they read and have every expectation that it will be part of the life they live.

      Heck they took off three grand on that one. That is massive! Then again your nest isn't small either so I guess would definitely come in handy.

      Congrats on T <3   The height problem I think is an issue for a lot of trans guys, unfortunately. I know more tall cis women than short cis men, so it especially stands out to me whenever I'm in a room. I'm hoping for your voice to drop soon, good luck! (I've heard it feels a little bit like a cold? If that's true, hope it'll feel better quickly and that it's worth it!)

      Hi Raine, my obstacles are that I'm 5"2 and always will be at the age of 34. I have size 5 feet, so it's difficult to find shoes, not alot of options, have to go to the teen boy bit. My voice was an issue, but T is starting to help me stay in the lower range of my fem voice, and I'm hoping it will drop soon.

      I just like how our posts complimented each other.  Your point about publicity of pride events and that culture seemed to be spot on.  My culture and mindset is so different that I'm barely aware that things like that are going on.  I don't watch news and I'm very much into professional life and life-long learning.  There are all kinds of cultures out there.  Thanks for sharing your insights.

      That rocks Abby!  We did the 1-2 on that!

      Here, the public image of LGBTQ+ is formed from the limited contact of the Pride Parade, which seems to always attract a few people who are into flamboyant sensationalism and inappropriate conduct, so there are arrests for lewd conduct, indecent exposure and public disorder.  Those are the people the news media always covers at the parade, as if everyone LGBTQ+ was like that.  The whole parade thing backfires, in my opinion.    Sometimes these types show up at protests as well, and of course, that is what the news media picks up on.    Some people need to be taken quietly aside and told they are not helping.   I don't know if that is the biggest block, but it is there.  Lousy marketing,

      One of my roommates bought cheese and pasta and asked if I would make mac & cheese.  I walked to the store and bought 4 cups of milk and then used the preppykitchen.com baked mac and cheese recipe that works so well.  Melting a stick of butter and whisking in 1/2 cup of flour and then adding the milk.  Breadcrumbs on top.  It's amazing out of the oven, but just edible when it is cold in the fridge.  It's all gone this morning and that made me happy.

      We made a mega batch of curried sausages today, with enough leftovers to go to others, and into our freezer for us.    Dished up with mashed potato and peas.
